In a game where M-V-P chants were literal, King James took to the court in the newly-surfaced “MVP” Nike LeBron 9 to accept his Maurice Podoloff Trophy. Although LeBron only wore these for one half of yesterday’s Game 1 between the Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat, today’s Kicks On Court edition has an abundance of images of James wearing these kicks, including a close-up of the gold MVP accent on the heel. As stated in our initial post about this shoe, Nike will unleash a limited number of these next month. Where does this shoe rank amongst the other Nike LeBron 9 colorways we’ve seen? View these kicks plus more, worn by Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Rudy Gay and others, below.

Years ago, a Nike Air Foamposite One return was deemed near impossible due to the expensive production costs. Today, the heavy kicks are flying off the shelves and the colorways are near endless. Gary Warnett took the time to research the patent papers on the said shoe as well as the Footscape in a recent entry. Check out the process and parts needed to craft the popular sneakers here.

The Nike Lunar Safari delivers a modern take on the ’87 favorite. A speckled upper rests above a Lunarlon sole, pairing yesterday’s aesthetic with today’s technology. This Anthracite/Volt colorway has released overseas at Burner.
