You are looking at the Nike LeBron XI. That’s right-the mystery shoe that was spotted on the feet of King James over the weekend was indeed his next signature model. The design comes equipped with a pretty sizable chunk of what’s being called “Armorposite” material across the upper, which clutches the shoe from the bottom up in the same way that the carbon fiber piece on the current Nike LeBron X Elite does. On top of that Dynamic Flywire returns with a bit more of a conspicuous arrangement as just the lace-loops and a few wires revealed.
You’ll also note that the sneaker gets rid of the full length Vis Zoom treatment across the bottom, opting instead to tuck away any Air it’s holding. Speaking of cushioning, it’s said that the Nike LeBron XI will be cushioned by a mix of Lunarlon and Zoom, embedded into the midsole of the shoe; this is an interesting move considering visible cushioning has been a visual key over the last four models, leading some to believe that the shoes LeBron did indeed break out during a weekend practice were either a Soldier or Ambassador shoe. In any case, these are the real deal LeBron XI, and is currently slated for an October debut for $200 in five colorways. Continue reading to check out another upcoming colorway of the Nike LeBron XI and stick with us for what should be an October 2013 release.

The remaining teams in the NBA Playoffs dwindled by one over the weekend, as the Knicks fell to the Pacers out in Indiana. For what it’s worth thought they went out in style, with the likes of the Jordan Melo M8 Advance for Carmelo Anthony, the Nike LeBron X Elite for JR Smith, and the adidas Top Ten 2000 for Iman Shumpert. Other wears across the weekend included a batch of Hyperfuse/Hyperdunk stuff for the strong looking Indiana Pacers, a random Nike LeBron X on the feet of one Manu Ginobli, and sightings of both the Nike KD V and the adidas Crazyquick for Memphis. Continue reading to see all the most compelling sneaker shots from this latest round of NBA Feet action and stick with us for updates on the road to the championship.

So the Nike Foamposite took a strange turn when we first laid eyes on the funky “Weatherman” sample, with many of our readers being rather vocal regarding the overtly ornate colorways mocked up by the Nike team. This first look at yet another graphic print on a Foamposite should coerce a similar response for sure, as the Foamposite appears to explore outer space once again with an incredible gradient on the upper and outsole and what appears to be imagery of an asteroid belt. A few more shots are just below, so take a look and let us know what you think of either the gradient treatment or this revisiting of outer space on the Foamposite, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for all Nike Foamposite updates.

Nike Sportswear brought back the Nike Zoom Hyperflight recently with the “Superhuman” Pack, debuting some tonal graphic uppers representing the alter egos of Nike Basketball’s trio of superstars, and even the recent previewing of the Vis Zoom Hyperflights with the holographic lenticular upper has given this classic Nike hoops silhouette some energy. Later this year, the Hyperflight will take on a much more wild stance as we get a first look at the Nike Zoom Hyperflight “Orange Tiger” – a shoe that we first caught a glimpse of at a teaser preview of upcoming NSW releases. This enticing release features the feral orange/black graphic on the upper with hints of jungle green on the outsole, adding up to a distinct personality of a primal beast. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more release info, and check out the gallery below.
