Just want to buy a pair of Nike LeBron 9 Low right now? Nike LeBron 9 Low.

Signature basketball shoes have been a huge success in the NBA over the past decade, but what’s been an even bigger hit is for players to create their own signature lines on their own. Of course the first player to do this was Michael Jordan and we all know how that legacy turned out for him. These days, even though the Air Jordan sneakers are still releasing, there needs to be shoes from players who are still playing in the league to dominate the industry. Today we are going to be taking a look at the latest version of one of those lines, this is the new Nike LeBron 9 Low.

Already on its 9th version, it is totally apparent now that the Nike LeBron lineup is here to stay. While we don’t have many detailed images yet take a look at this teaser image and tell us what you think.

Just want to buy a pair of Nike Blazer Vintage Legacy Red right now? Nike Blazer Vintage Legacy Red.

The Nike Blazer is one of those rare shoes that has been able to keep its original form and attraction intact without having to resort to too many modern tactics to get the fans to buy it. While we aren’t trying to knock shoes like the Nike Air Force 1 or the Nike Dunk, because we like them both very much, we just really appreciate the way that the Nike Blazer has stayed totally true to its roots. It is truly one of the classic sneakers of last century. Today we are going to be taking a look at the latest version, this is the new Nike Blazer Vintage Legacy Red.

Whether or not you are a fan of the vintage look, you have to admit that it fits very well on the Blazer. The yellowed look on the sole accents the red suede in the perfect way.

Michael J. Fox of Marty McFly fame will be appearing tonight on David Letterman’s The Late Show at 11:30 PM EST, the same time Nike kicks off the “It’s About Time” event in LA. We expect a Nike Air Mag related announcement and we can only hope he wears that outfit. Tune in tonight.

We now interrupt your Nike Air Mag coverage for a PSA, or rather a CSS. While no A-listers have snagged or been spotted in the Marty McFly Nikes (yet) we did catch the famous and flashy in the best from Nike, Jordan Brand, Vans, and adidas. Recent releases like the Black/Silver Air Jordan 5 and “Dark Pine” Foamposite Pro pop up, but most of our regulars were pulling some irregulars from the vault. DMPs, Space Jams, Breds, and much more stand out in this week’s Celebrity Sneaker Stalker. Give us your picks in the poll and comment section.

“This project is exciting to me because it brings together three very passionate audiences: the Parkinson’s community, the sneakerheads and Back to the Future fans.” – Michael J. Fox.

A few moments ago, Nike officially unveiled the Nike Air Mag AKA “Marty McFly” shoe. As stated earlier, Nike announced that 1500 pairs of this shoe will be auctioned on eBay, nikemag.eBay.com, with all net proceeds going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The auction will begin tonight at 8:30PM PST and end on September 18 (150 pairs will be posted on eBay per day for 10 days). The Nike Air Mag has been anticipated for the longest as it first showed its face in the 1989 2015 released film Back to the Future.

Leading up to the release of the Nike Air Mag, a 50 million match grant was given to the Michael J. Fox Foundation by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki; they will match all donations to the foundation, up to 50 million dollars, through the end of 2012.

“We wanted to translate the excitement people have for the ‘greatest shoe never made’ and for the Back to the Future into positive action,” said Mark Parker, CEO of Nike. “But the long term objective is to raise awareness so the Foundation can achieve their goal of eradicating Parkinson’s disease.

The Air Mag is the first rechargeable footwear from Nike were designed as an identical replica to the originals seen in the Back to the Future II movie. Some of the constant elements include the upper contours, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap. The Nike Air Mag actually illuminates with the pinch of the “ear” of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge.
