Here we have another Nike Zoom LeBron Soldier III Player Exclusive to represent LeBron James home town, Akron. These come in a white/navy blue/gold colorway. White is seen on most of the upper, Nike swoosh, and midsole. Navy blue is placed on the patent leather sections and part of the midsole with touches of gold seen around the shoe. These are some nice kicks to ball in for a relatively small school. These are very limited so hurry and get your pair from Osneaker.
Pau Gasol was a big part of the 2009 NBA Champions, the Los Angeles Lakers. With all of the Player Exclusives Kobe Bryant has received over the years, its finnaly about time that Pau Gasol gets one from Nike. This shoe contains the obvious colors with purple and gold. The flywire design, tongue and outsole are colored with purple. Gold is placed on the Nike swoosh, shoe laces, and near the midsole. The shoes if wrapped up with a white midsole and purple outsole. Im pretty sure most of you would love to ball in these and you will have your chance as these are to be released to the public this November at House of Hoops locations.
Amare Stoudemire will be rocking the Nike Skyposite this upcoming NBA season. This shoe features a Black foam upper that hosts a transition from Black down to Light purple towards the midsole. The kicks also have a special tongue label displaying Amare’s “AS” initial logo. This new Amare Stoudemire Player Exclusive will hit House of Hoops in December.
This particular Blue Chip II was made specifically for Lisa Leslie in honor of the yearly “Think Pink” campaign. The Chip is toned in varsity purple/yellow/white to match up with Leslie’s LA Sparks uniform. Pink accents can be found around the shoe’s ankle, stitched into the Swoosh emblem, and on the Air Max unit embedded in the heel.
This is a pretty dope color way of laser IVs, best I’ve seen hands down but lets get to the shoes. We all know Melo gets and wears plenty of Jordan PE’s but this PE is a little more special than the others are. This Laser IV was made for the Gold Medal Game in which Team USA defeated Spain by 11. They feature the classic USA color way of red, white and blue, navy blue pebbled leather upper with gold lasering. To break up all that blue are the red wing tips and white netting. Along with a red air unit in the white midsole. All of which sits so beautifully on the red outsole. There are only a few of this in existence so since they’ll most likely never release enjoy the pictures after the jump. VIA: tprel

Chris Paul is deinitely a worthy player. Not only does he get his own line of Nike Basketball shoes, he also gets Player Exclusive versions of the hottest Jordan Brand kicks. In his recent game against LeBron James and the Cavaliers, Chris Paul was spotted in some fresh to death Air Jordan Six Ring. The shoe loks like it has a university blue mid-sole with an all white upper featuring patent leather and nylon canvas as well as more university blue accents to go along with the Hornet’s colors. Maybe it was the clean Player Exclusive Six Rings that helped Chris Paul and the Hornets carry themselves to 104 to 92 victory over LeBron’s Cavs. Regardless, even though these may be some of the cleanest Six Rings you have seen thus far, good luck copping them unless you have courtside seats to every Hornets game for the rest of the season.
One of the best perks of being a Team Jordan player is being given the countless pairs of Player Exclusive Jordans that no one else has access to without paying a high price. Two Jordan Brand athletes, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, represented JB this Summer during the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and to support them in their quest for the Gold Medal, the Jordan Footwear team came up with a number of PE models for the two to wear but none might be as dope as this pair. This is the Air Jordan V Retro is a plain and simple colorway of White, Silver, and Midnight Navy that has the American Flag and “8/8/08″ sewn on the inside of the tongue as well as the USAB logo screened on the innersock. It’s clear that Jordan Brand has no plans of putting this shoe out for a General Release, but none the less it’s still nice to look at a shoe of this exclusivity.
For those looking for the missing piece to their Air Jordan collection this could be your chance, what you see above is a Player Exclusive sample of the Columbia Air Jordan XI (11). Only two players were seen to wearing the Columbia Air Jordan XI, Kevin Garnett during the 95-96 season and of course Michael Jordan, but this size 12 Air Jordan XI was created for an unknown Jordan Brand athlete. The samples comes with the original sample box and is in good condition for the time it has been around.
