King James Debuts LeBron 9 Lows On-court, Jay-Z Mangos. »

Until last Friday LeBron James had never worn any Ambassadors in an actual NBA game. Until yesterday he had never worn any low-tops either. Yesterday was the first time for LBJ to wear a low-top version of his own signature shoe. The Nike LeBron 9 Low debuted on Easter in two casual colorways, but LeBron debuted a Miami Heat-esque colorway in Black and Red. We profiled this exact version in detail last week. Rolling his ankle in the third quarter seemed scary at first, but fortunately the injury wasn’t too severe. LeBron wasn’t the only one with nice kicks. Jay-Z and DJ Clark Kent, who sat court-side, also sported James’ signature shoes… Mango 9′s and unreleased HWC 8′s, respectively.

Inspired by these events Nike have created a special WTT colorway of the Nike LeBron 9. The Black & Gold upper comes with a translucent outsole, special laces and even a gold ornament… all of which resemble the Watch the Throne album artwork. These are unlikely to release. According to Jason Petrie “Nike only made 3 with the gold Urist piece”. Would you buy them if they did drop?

Nike Air Max LeBron VII – “All Black Everything” – LBJ & Jay-Z »

Here goes another rare & unseen Nike Air Max LeBron VII Sample. The photos come from the Sneaker Friends 2010, which took place this past weekend in Atlanta. Apparently, this All Black colorway of the VII was made for close friends – LeBron James & Jay-Z. Previous variations of predominantly Black AMLVII’s, which you can preview here, featured a Flywire panel on the upper. This makes the new pair unique, because it implements a NFW rule by using a perforated mesh instead of Flywire threads.

LBJ Wearing ZLVI Low at Sprite Green Instrument Donation »

Prior to his Third Annual Jay-Z And LeBron James “Two Kings” Dinner & After Party, The King was spotted sporting the upcoming summer shoe from his signature line – Nike Zoom LeBron VI Low in an All White colorway.

James wore the Mid version several times already, for example during his “Last Chance for Change” rally for the president Barack Obama. Now he’s trying to get fans excited about what’s coming. Those, who are bored with the AF1s for casual, should love the idea of the ZLVI Low as it has all it takes… classic look plus unmatched comfort. The All White LeBron 6 Low is one of the releasing models slated for this summer. Photos via WireImage.

On October 29, on his home court, LeBron James tried to swing some votes toward a guy who loves to play basketball nearly as much as he does.

Nearly 20,000 fans filled Quicken Loans Arena for the “Last Chance for Change” rally, which began after Obama’s 30-minute TV ad was shown on a giant screen above the stage. Wearing a black leather jacket, baseball cap and huge diamond chain in the shape of Ohio and of course his newest shoes Zoom LeBron VI, James encouraged the crowd to participate in next week’s election. “I want everybody in here, moms, dads, aunts, uncles to get out and vote,” James said. “November 4th is the most important day of our lives.” Thanks to abt for this find.
