The Carmelo Anthony sign-and-trade pretty well precludes LeBron James from being a New York Knick

The Carmelo Anthony sign-and-trade pretty well precludes LeBron James from being a New York Knick unless he ends up at MSG during a Shaq-style victory tour.  And since he’ll never be welcome back in Cleveland again, we won’t get to see any more dope Hardwood Classics colorways, but these facts don’t combine to preclude any and all blue and orange Nike LeBron sneakers.  In fact, if the release timing over the past few years proves any indication of things to come, it won’t be very long at all before the Nike LeBron 9 ‘China’ makes its way to retail.  This Cavs throwback -slash- Knicks/Mets getup is reminiscent of the epic ‘Birthday’ Zoom Lebron 5 and may be a sign of things to come for 2012′s Year of the Dragon releases; perhaps that explains the detailing on the middle eyelets of these teaser images.

Nike Sportswear has offered all manner of hybridization and otherwise alters their heritage models fairly frequently, but for whatever reason, NSW doesn’t dabble in zippers all that much.  That’ll change this weekend with the introduction of the new Nike Blazer Mid AB, a Swooshless design that adds a functional zipper on the medial side to offer you another way of gettin’ in ‘em.  The Blazer’s connection to the All Court is evident with the latter’s signature asymmetrical toe cap appearing on these navy blue and white leather editions, both of which you can see in more photos after the jump.  Let us know which one you prefer and look for these at select Nike Free Run 5.0 V1 NSW retailers this weekend. via streething.

The insoles of these new releases read ‘Destroy Luxury’, but the Luke Meyer-designed debut of the Vans Zero last year was more like a re-imagination.  Even the name ‘Zero’ is somewhat misleading, their place in the Off the Wall catalog as something of a classically ‘Vans’ take on the classic derby shoe design and a welcome addition alongside staples like the Era and Authentic.  Three new colorways constructed in tonal suede and canvas have just hit retail, so click through to see close-ups of the khaki, black and navy editions and grab yours today from Premier.
