Nike LeBron 9 ‘Swingman’ – New Images

Sneaker Freak — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:00:43 +0000

It appears that the folks on campus out in Beaverton were so eager about the retro Griffey revival that they were keen on spreading the love around to non-baseball sigs as well. In what comes off as a little bit of a ‘peanut butter in my chocolate moment’, this new Nike LeBron 9 is poised to arrive with some very tangible influences from the Ken Griffey Jr. line. Beyond the bluish hues on the upper, LeBron’s own logo even gets replaced with the ‘Swingman’ on the back. Are these good in your book or are there other LeBron releases you’ll be putting your money towards instead? Let us know in the comments and stick with Sneaker News for more looks at this early March release. via HKK

Air Jordan V ‘Real Metallic’ Customs by Proof Culture

Sneaker Freak — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:00:25 +0000

The last couple of custom creations we’ve seen from Proof Culture have focused on porting over heralded combos onto models from the Air Jordan Line. This time around the focus is on rebuilding a favorite colorway, the Air Jordan V in black/metallic silver. Deemed “not metallic enough” in its original form by Proof Culture, this remix sees a powdery silver paint applied to the uppers for the full on Terminator look. If that’s not metallic enough, we don’t know what is. The various other parts of the sneaker are left alone, letting the base shine through and preserving a bit of the DNA that first made this a classic look. Stay with us after the jump for the full photos and let us know if this Air Jordan V from Proof Culture is a hit.
