KICKS: Jordan Flight Club ’91 “Grape”

The return of the Grapes is a Summer blockbuster event we’re all looking forward to, but Jordan Brand has plans of preceding the main event by using that famed colorway on the recently introduced Jordan Flight Club ’91. This new model that we’ve been previewing lately is obviously based on the Air Jordan VI foundation, with a revised upper that adds in some “Huarache” concepts that were used on the Air Jordan VII. As expected, this new Retro-inspired design has received a mixed bag or response, but maybe this popular colorway will help skew the curve towards a more positive reaction. These are expected in March, so check out the extra angles below and stay tuned for further release info.

KICKS: Jordan Spiz’ike “3M” – Arriving at Retailers

This Saturday Jordan Brand will extend the Spike Lee category even further with the official release of the Jordan Spiz’ike in the Black/Challenge Red-Metallic Silver-Tour Yellow colorway. Given the ’3M’ nickname due to the flashy mudguard, this Spiz’ike actually shares the colorway of the Jordan Melo M9 ‘Nemesis’, which is inspired by flame-retardant suits; the ‘Nemesis’ Pack is derived from a rivalry between Carmelo and a certain player on the Miami Heat – one that’ll surely get more attention as we near the Playoffs. This weekend the Jordan Spiz’ike 3M will release at Jordan Brand retailers like Social Status so enjoy one final look on a nice matching backdrop and let us know if these are a must-have for you.

KICKS: Nike LeBron X NSW Lifestyle Sample

This past weekend’s pivotal release of the Nike LeBron X ‘Cork’ gave consumers just a taste of Nike Basketball’s capabilities of transforming a high-tech sneaker into a polished lifestyle shoe, but it appears that Nike already has an entree waiting to be served up in the kitchen. Here’s a first look at the Nike LeBron X NSW Lifestyle Sample; it feature a true lifestyle mid-top silhouette (like a Blazer) with laser-etched lines on the upper and ventilated areas that give the sneaker a LeBron X spirit. Built with a brown leather upper and supported by a unique midsole with ridged walls and the LeBron lion logo on the heel, the this LeBron X NSW Lifestyle Sample exudes that grown-up nature that was first initiated with the Nike LeBron Sportswear capsule that debuted in 2011. The insole also features a special label that reads ‘Virescit Vulnere Virtus’ – a Latin phrase that has anchored the LeBron NSW Collection since its launch. Continue on for a full detailed gallery of this exciting sample and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates regarding a potential release, and check out the entire listing from wowfactor101 on eBay.

LeBron James won his first NBA Championship last year and opened this season shaking hands with David Stern at his coronation.

You can see them up close in both photos and HD video below; where do they rank in the diverse LeBron X lineup?
