Along with its exceptional mesh composition, the shoe also includes a winged composite with splashes of white towards the forefront of the kicks, as well as hints of bright orange on the inner lining and laces for good measure.

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

Today, LeBron James can boast over 10 All-Star appearances, multiple MVP awards and the game’s most precious accomplishment. Before it all, he took part in one of the most highly anticipated Rookie challenges ever, racking up 33 points for the now legendary 2003-2004 rookie class. The special moment called for special footwear, with LeBron wearing his debut Air Zoom Generation in the now highly coveted ‘Wheat’ make-up. Geared for off-court use, the LeBron XII EXT features a wheat nubuck upper with metallic gold accents. As a nod to LeBron’s memorable rookie challenge performance, the heel pull-tab displays the date 2.13.04. Classic LeBron branding on the tongue tab and sockliner tie back to the legendary Air Zoom Generation.

The Lebron XI, dubbed the “Gator King,” sees graphic textures throughout the shoe inspired by gators, often a symbol of protection in New Orleans culture.

Following this up is the KD VI “Illusion” showcases hand-drawn patterns on the upper emulating Durant’s fluidity on the court. A glow-in-the-dark outsole also represents the spark of KD’s game. Contrasting the glow in the dark look, the Lil Penny Posite features black posite panelling and red accenting and a glow in the dark outsole. Other accenting details include a voodoo print on the panelling, featuring lobster engravings. Rounding out the NOLA themed Nike basketball collection is the Nike Air Up ’14, resembling fresh-out-of-the-pot crawdads with a crustacean-red upper complete with water droplets and a steamy graphic. Be on the lookout for this collection coming soon to Wish.

The Nike NSW Lifestyle segment takes a swing at remixing two of Nike’s most popular basketball models: the KD VI and the Lebron X.

Jonathan Johnson Griffin in store Signing Recap

Written by Julie Hogg on . Posted in Product.

For those who were at Wish this Saturday, it was obvious that the Lebron X Cork release caused a lot of commotion in the sneaker community. On top of the huge release and the line wrapped around the store, we had the creator of the madness present in store to sign boxes, shoes, and even in-soles. Take a look at some quotes from Jonathan Johnson-Griffin and the images we captured on Saturday below:

Why Cork?

JJG: “We were talking to Lebron and he was saying that he kind of wanted to give it that champagne bang feeling. And it’s based all around the idea of popping bottles… When you hear that champagne bang of the cork popping, you know you won a championship.”

This “champagne bang” aspect of the design is evident in Jonathan’s “Popping Bottles!” signature.

Can you take us through higlights of the design/production process?

JJG: “For me the higlights [of the production process] are sketching and working with the athletes to dive into his life and extract different details that are really rich that we can tell different stories around.”
