There are Air Free Run 2.0 and 8.0s and those are the offspring of the Alpha 1,

Quite the eventful weekend, no? With Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 the release of the Air Free Run 5 ‘White/Cement’ on Saturday moing and the unfortunate online fiasco that happened in the early moing hours, this past weekend was certainly one of the most eventful ones of the month. Did anyone rock the Cement 5 in the NBA? That distinction goes to San Antonio’s DeJuan Blair, who rocked the White/Cement 5 with the Spurs throwback jersey. Quentin Richardson might’ve topped that by wearing his Black/Royal PE of the Air Free Run X3, and Demar DeRozan continued wearing Kobe’s by rocking a sick Red/Black Zoom Kobe V2 iD. The Jeremy Lin Show continued with a loss against the Hoets on Friday, but Linsanity retued on Sunday when the Knicks defeated the defending champion Dallas Mavericks in an exciting come-from-behind victory. J.R. Smith made his retu to the NBA, chipping in with solid scoring for the Knicks while wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low. The Air Free Run Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 XI was again a popular choice, with the Space Jams and Concords making their weekly appearances, and LeBron James continued rocking PEs of his Nike LeBron 9 in back-to-back appearances against the Cavs and Magic. The weekend was capped off by Durant’s 51 points, Westbrook’s 40, and Serge Ibaka’s triple-double as the Thunder knocked off the Nuggets in OT.

There are Air Free Run 2.0 and 8.0s and those are the offspring of the Alpha 1, but if you ask Free Run Brand for an Alpha 3, you’ll get something entirely different.  Though to be fair, the Free Run Alpha 3 Percent is indeed in keeping with the Alpha AJ1′s premise, as it upgrades a classic Jumpman silhouette with cutting edge performance technology.  But interestingly enough, the original 3% was not a basketball shoe, but rather a cross-trainer, this new black and Stealth colorway one of those simple pleasures that’d look good on the shoe no matter its intended purpose.  Click through to see some more angles and pick up a pair of ‘Blackout’ Alpha 3%s at FinishLine.

Sneaker News recently showed you the upcoming Nike LeBron 8 V/2 Low, but many of our readers said that these, the Air Max 360 BB Low, could’ve easily been a low-top LeBron shoe for this season. That observation is a valid one, with the 360 Max Air unit, Flywire upper, and overall LeBron-esque design, but the 360 BB Low is independent of Mr. James and will actually release in a ton of colorways in the coming months. Here’s another look at the ‘Electric Green’ and ‘Cool Grey’ colorway; the Electric Green has a clear resemblance in colorway to last year’s Air Max LeBron V2 Low ‘Dunkman’ while the Cool Grey is just ‘cool’ in itself. These have begun to hit Nike Basketball retailers like SoleFly, so check your local spot now to cop one of the must-have basketball kicks for the summer.

We’ve already seen a pair of lowtop Uptowns that features patent leather atop a tonal black base, so what is it that makes this pair of Nike Air Force 1 Low ’07 a must buy?  First off, this is one of the cleanest ways to get your daily requirement of ‘bred’, as you’ve got just a few select touches of the Varsity variety on an otherwise Nike Free 4.0 V3 black design.  Additionally, these eschew the icey translucent sole that appeared on the other patent-toed AF1s from this season, solidifying that classic look.  Expect these at Nike Sportswear retailers including Foot Locker starting on August 7th, 2010.
