Nike Zoom Lebron 5 Low & Soldier 2 Camo

Last year Nike released the Zoom Soldier which the shoe Lebron James wore more than any other in the Playoffs as the Cavs marched all the way to the NBA Finals. The Lebron Soldier series has continued giving a durable basketball shoe with Zoom Air cushioning at a much more affordable price than the marquee Lebron signature shoes. Some of you may remember the camo “Soledier” Zoom Soldiers that were released for the grand opening of Sole Bar last summer, but this time around you won’t need a flight to LA and a wrist band to grab. The Zoom Lebron Soldier 2 was outfitted in military esque colors along with the Zoom Lebron 5 low.

David Z x Saucony Courageous “Run Away”

David Z just launched their third collaboration on the Saucony Courageous online, but the shoe is available in store now at the flagship location in SoHo. The shoe is a first for Saucony as designer Ronnie Fieg asked for the unthinkable to split Saucony’s logo with two colors. The shoe is entirely blacked out on the back half of the shoe except for the “Run” and Away” on the back of each of the shoe. The reason for this as Fieg described to us was that he “wanted Saucony to ‘run away’ from their normalcy” in the process of creating of this special make up.The third colorway of the David Z x Saucony Courageous released yesterday online at DavidZ.com and has released today in store at David Z’s flagship shop for $90. Check out more photos of the sneakers after the jump.

<><><>The Court Victory Pump has been the shoe of choice for collabs with Alife and UBIQ, but the next brand to get to rework this classic is Japanese streetwear brand X-Large. Next Friday the X-Large x Reebok Court Victory Pumps will release at XL stores across the Pacific for ï¿¥17,640 ($163US) only in sizes 9, 10, and 11. Info from HypeBeast/XLarge.
