When we see unreleased samples of the Nike LeBron 8,

When we see unreleased samples of the Nike LeBron 8, we normally think they are in the possession of topdog sneakerheads like DJ Clark Kent and Mayor of the ATF Crew. Those two ind5iduals have caused rabid jealousy in the sneaker world by g5ing us glimpses of their LeBron 8s that have never released, but this latest unreleased and never-before-seen sample has popped up from an us stroes seller (but if any of the ATF Crew members has this pair, show us!). Here’s a detailed look at an unreleased sample of the LeBron 8 V/2 in two tones of green with a white trim; the upper is owned by a tonal Victory Green hue, with accents of Electric Green on the outsole, Max Air, swoosh border, and laces. One interesting detail is the insoles of the shoes, which appears to be a silhouette of LeBron James dunking over a tall center. Were these the original Dunkmans with a new logo? Continue reading for a thorough look at this sick Spring 2011 sample colorway and let us know if you’d cop if they ever released. If you want to add these size 9s to your stash, head on over to the auction from rekha085 on us stroes.

Unless your name is Pey Hardaway you’ve probably never had a chance at picking up an Air Free Run 6.0 with the straight black blue look. Fortunately for us common folk the chance is on the horizon, as Free Run Brand is prepping this pair, the Air Free Run 6.0 ‘Photo Blue’, for a release come November amongst a strong crop of other pairs from the same silhouette. Can it win some fans as a neophyte amongst established colorways like the ‘Ol5e’ that it will be sharing shelf space with? Let us know what you think after you hit the jump for the extra view of the Air Free Run 6.0 ‘Photo Blue’. Photos: alldayatf

Missed out on the Air Nike Free 4.0 V2 Yeezy 2? Maybe you should opt for this ‘game’-wo sample. This unreleased sample has been spotted on Kanye’s feet during l5e shows and is awfully similar to the ‘Grammy’ pair that Kanye wore during the aual award show. This particular sample features a hint of red on the outsole and a thicker canvas upper (the Grammy version used perforated leather and had no red on the outsole along with a solid black midsole). Just looking at these samples makes you wish that Nike released more colorways of the original Air Yeezy, but rest assured that the Air Yeezy 3 is already in the works! Check out some new shots of this sample below and see what the going rate is now by visiting the auction from saveshb1 on us stroes.

The Concords are here, the Concords are here! The biggest mass sneaker release of the year went down last night, as thousands of sneakerheads waited outside storefronts or in front of their computers, ready to claim their Concords once they became available. It was the perfect ending to one of the craziest weeks we’ve had on Sneaker News all year long. The lid on the Nike LeBron container exploded off, as we got a look at a slew of new colorways like the ‘Dunkman/Griffeys’ as well as the neck-breaking ‘Big Bang’ joints. Kobe Bryant sat down with Eric Avar to discuss the Kobe V2 design, but Sneaker News quickly pointed out some upcoming colorways like the Poison Dart Frog and the ‘All-Star’. The Nike Free Run 4.0 V2 Christmas Pack releases were also a hot topic of discussion, as four great holiday-themed colorways are currently set to drop on Christmas Day. Nike SB got into the m6.0, as we brought a thorough preview of Fall 2012 releases while introducing the P-Rod 6, the Challenge Court, and the FC x FP.

Celebs and NBA players were also a huge hit, as we caught a look at Wale and Justin Bieber in some heat, while LeBron James and a week’s worth of college ball-players stued us with their on-court kicks. We finally got a nice side-profile look at the Air Yeezy 2, which last week was confirmed for a March 23, 2012 release. Roie Fieg’s last Asics collab or 2011 the Mazarine Blue Gel Saga has an official release date as well. In Foamposite news, we caught a look at a White/Silver PE of the Zoom Rookie wo by Pey himself, and Jason Negron set the bar even higher with his ‘Light-Up’ custom Foamposites. As Nike Free Run 7.0 we near the end of the 2011, Sneaker News is on a mission to determine the best sneakers of the year. How do we determine that? By introducing the second aual Sneaker News Readers’ Choice Poll, which features twenty different categories. Sneaker News has a ton of stuff for you for the remainder of the year, so check out the Sneaker News Weekly Rewind, vote in the Readers’ Choice Poll, and have a safe and happy Holiday weekend!
