A young designer dubbed solebrotha on the NikeTalk message boards recently showed off a pair of Nike Air Flight 89s that he customized in 2007. The finished product is shown above with a pair of pictures of the Air Flight 89s in various stages of readiness after this post. The designer choose a tangerine color for the toe box to match the eyelets. Silver paint with white spots was placed on the heel and the toe to create an interesting visual effect. This silver paint was placed on the outsole as well to frame the shoe in a sparking color.

I think these shoes would be great if they didn’t have the tangerine paint. I think a darker orange may have worked better while giving it a unique touch. Solebrotha has done a good job with a pair of stale Nike Air Flight 89s though I hope future projects feature better colors.

More NBA All-Star shoes are rolling out. This one is the Jordan 15 SE in the White/Red/Blue All-Star colorway. According to Sneaker News, this shoe is likely set for Rip Hamilton.

At this point, the Detroit Pistons guard hasn’t made the team yet. All-Star reserves will be selected by the NBA coaches and announced later this week.

Even if Rip, who is averaging 19.1 points on the season, doesn’t make the team, at least All-Star colors are close to Pistons colors. So he can wear these kicks with his home whites in Detroit.

The shoes combine woven white leather, embossed white leather, and lots of blue and red accents.

Look for more sneakers made especially for the 2008 NBA All-Star game to be released soon. The game takes place in New Orleans on February 17th. Photos via Kenlu.

Last year, LeBron James caused a commotion by attending a playoff baseball game in Cleveland while openly rooting against the Indians and for the New York Yankees.LeBron, who is a longtime Yankees fan, is back at it in 2008 with these Yankees inspired kicks.

If you are a Yankees fan, these shoes are exceptionally hot.The kicks feature the classic Yankees pinstripes and the blue and white color scheme.

You won’t forget that these shoes are LeBron’s either as there is a distinctive LeBron logo on the side of the shoe and his number 23 on the tongue.There are various swooshes on this shoe, with the most prominent one being on the checked strap that lies over the laces.

Although LeBron is an Ohio native, he definitely has a New York state of mind with this release.He’s going to be wearing these sneakers when he steps into the Garden to play the Knicks on March 5, 2008.

These shoes will soon be released at House of Hoops in Harlem. Via Sneaker News.
