LeBron James is on the eve of one of those defining moments in his career. He’s about to tested in Game 7 of the 2013 NBA Finals, wherein he’s got the chance to fulfill the promise of all those championships down in Miami. His footwear ahead of the momentous occasion? It’s an oddball choice: the Nike Air Flow in that OG bright cactus/blue glow colorway. Also, he’s still got the headband off, so we can only assume he’ll still be in full-on best mode when it comes time for Game 7. Get the full photo below and make sure you check back in with Sneaker News following Thursday’s Game 7 for a full photo recap.

Does the brand new Nike NSW Skystepper remind you of any sneaker you’ve seen before? Far be it from us to peg down the look that Nike Sportswear was going for when whipping up this new design, but they sort of emanate a “Yeezy” aura. You’ve got the midfoot strap, the smaller Swoosh around the back end, the padded ankle, and a fairly high hitting shape that has them looking like a Kanye West outtake. Do you see it, or is this just another innocuous NSW design? Tell us in the comments and watch for the Nike NSW Skystepper in stores starting July, or right now via pre-order from Afew.

About a month ago, Sneaker News showed you a sample Nike Flyknit Racer that spun the ‘USA’ colorway in a blue/Volt combo. Those will likely never see the light of day at retail, but we see a similar weave at work on this new Flyknit Racer scheduled for next year. This pair is a grey/black combo instead of blue/black on the other weave, but the Volt accents are interspersed in all the same spots. Check them out after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more details on this projected January 2014 drop.

The Jordan Super.Fly 2 is a model with which we’ve been acquainted since February’s 2013 NBA All-Star Game, but the first release date is still off in the distance. Super.Fly 2 drops will continue throughout the 2013-14 basketball season, and one of them set to arrive around the time of the next ASG has that classic Western Conference look in vibrant blue. They’re blocked similarly to the black pair with Bright Crimson and Gym Red edition we previewed most recently, but we’ll have to wait to find out exactly which shade dominates this pair. Have a closer look after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more details.

Is this Nike Roshe Run Mid paying tribute to a recent pair of Air Jordans? The colors aren’t an exact match, but the blue on yellow certainly reminds us of the Air Jordan XIII “Squadron Blue” that hit earlier on in the year. Instead, this pair uses armory navy and sonic yellow, the latter being a not quite volt shade that still manages to pack quite a punch. See some more angles on them right after the jump and keep in mind that you can buy this Nike Roshe Run Mid right now thanks to the good folks at Oneness.

A veteran of over four decades in the fashion world, the British designer Nigel Cabourn has made a concerted effort to team up with some of America’s classic brands here over the past several months. It started with a Red Wing Heritage Boot last September, then shifted to the outdoorsy clothier Eddie Bauer, and now, the longest running American footwear company. The Nigel Cabourn for Converse First String Chuck Taylor Plimsole Ox gives the iconic All Star shelltoe a classic CVO build with a premium Ventile upper. The CT plimsoll follows up on the similarly crafted Bosey Boot issued in April, and you’ll find them available at select retailers this Friday, June 21st.
