Who knew South Korea had so much Sole? Just last week we showed you ,Nike Air YeezySole Exposition,CHI Flat Irons, a sneaker exhibition featuring a sick collection of Jordans, Forces, SB, and Nike Basketball. Sneaker News would like to give you forewarning because what you’re about to see is not for the meek of heart. FootSell, one of the prominent sneaker spots in all of South Korea, hosted a sneaker summit with quite possibly the greatest collection of Air Jordan Player Exclusives, Jordan autographs, and rare collectibles to have ever graced dirt, such as a 1-of-1 lasered pair of a seamless uppered Air Jordan X. The buck did not stop there for sure, as rare Nike Basketball pieces from the 90’s, limited LeBron James collections, and some jaw-dropping Nike Kobe shoes were also available for viewing. Many attended this grandiose once-in-a-lifetime event, and now you can get your own first-hand look at the FootSell Sneaker Showcase by checking out the huge gallery of images ahead. Grab some popcorn and an ice-cold beverage and enjoy the sneaker eye-candy after the jump and let us know what shoe in particular has left you speechless.

The Phoenix Suns as we’ve come to know and love them over the past few years officially ended when Amare’ Stoudemire signed with the New York Knicks earlier this month.  Basketball in the desert will never be the same, but with Hakim Warrick signing on, Steve Nash will have another athletic forward to whom he can toss crazy oops.  And he’ll probably end up doing so in this first Nike Hyperdunk 2010 Low to be revealed, which are among the cleanest HD2K10s we’ve seen.  Sporting an all-white upper with a black Swoosh, these joints add just a touch of orange on the ‘FLYWIRE’ script,Asics Shoes, while purple on the tongue and sockliner complete the Suns motif.  Check out more shots after the jump and if you can’t wait till these drop in the near future,Nike Zone, grab the sample available from cigar0330 on eBay.

Last night, we all witnessed the long-awaited climax to the 2010 LeBron James free agency circus, resulting in his controversial decision to pack his bags for South Beach. Now that a day has passed and it’s had some time to really sink in, let’s take a look at some of the potential fallout from the Miami Heat signing. As entertaining as the sight of LeBron running the floor with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh may be, it appears that the general sentiment around the league and from most NBA fans not living on peninsulas, is big-time disappointment. Commissioner David Stern and NBA executives have to have mixed feelings as well. While the 2010-11 Miami Heat will undoubtedly be must-see TV, it also means that the league, which already suffers from a shortage of legit championship contenders, just lost a middle-America market and recent perennial powerhouse to probable lottery obscurity for the foreseeable future.

But not if Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert can help it. In a jaw-dropping letter to Cleveland fans, Gilbert vilified James for his alleged traitorous decision and vowed to do whatever it takes to win an NBA Championship before LeBron. Time will tell if Dan Gilbert can back up his rant, but we’d put on our money on LeBron in that race. After hearing reports that Gilbert learned of James’s decision on ESPN without a courtesy heads-up call or any kind of outreach, its understandable why he would feel so badly scorned.  Granted, some consideration would have been nice,CHI Flat Irons, but maybe he should have put some real talent around his superstar during the 7 years that LeBron put in work for the city of Cleveland. Had he done a better job of that, we might not have ever gotten to this point.

Aside from the ticket and merchandise revenue, Cleveland also loses its spot on the NBA map. Miami has never been known as a great basketball city, but folks in South Beach are still toasting to the news, while former fans in Cleveland are burning their #23 jerseys in the street. Out with the old and in with the new. LeBron and the number 6 are headed south, and as of last night, the NBAstore already had LeBron’s Miami Heat jerseys ready for purchase. But how many will they sell when it seems that most NBA fans are disgusted with the decision? The answer is plenty. You can’t kill that kind of star power, even when you throw some mud on it. Fans will likely come around sooner rather than later, and before you know it, the King will be back in the good graces of most.

Jerseys will always sell, but will the move to Miami effect Nike and LeBron’s popularity/marketability? Regardless of where he’s playing,nike shoes, LeBron’s name and signature will still move units, and his sneakers will still sell proportionately to the quality and aesthetic/performance appeal of the end product. Like the NBA, Nike loses a midwest homebase, but whatever sales are lost in Cleveland will, hopefully for them, be made up in Miami and the southeast region. The brass in Beaverton has to be a little frustrated that they now have two mega-stars playing in one city, but they cant really do anything to team them up, unless they let down the well-guarded wall that has kept Nike and JB so separate for so long. Could a “Nike LeBron VIII x Jordan Wade 1″ fusion be in the works already? Let’s hope not, but would anyone be surprised? Check out some “LBJ Decision 2010″ goodies after the jump, and let us know where you stand on the LeBron to Miami debate.

The first Air Jordan CP3 Tribute to hit retail is an ode to a classic Air Jordan III colorway with its own twist.  Bearing a clear resemblance to the AJIII ‘True Blue’,CHI Flat Irons, these CP3 Tributes go a little deeper and offer a Midnight Navy strip on the midsole for a slightly darker look than the aforementioned shade of azul.  But with a Cement Grey Elephant print mudguard and AJIII-like eyelets,skateboarding shoes, these joints are a seamless meshing of the third AJ and CP3 models. One of the earliest releases from Jordan Brand’s Fall 2010 footwear collection, the Midnight Navy CP3 Tribute is available now from Eastbay.

Nike Air Pippen 1,nike shoes, anyone? Here’s a new colorway in white and total orange that doesn’t seem to match up to any of his team colorways. Bulls? Nope. Rockets or Blazers? Not here. Central Arkansas? Definitely not. This colorway is just another interesting combination of the Nike Air Pippen 1 that Scottie wore during the ‘97 Playoffs,chi flat iron, but anyone remember the Zoom version that he wore? Scottie was quoted to have preferred Zoom over Air but the tri-pressure Air Units from the 90’s look sweeter, don’t they? If orange is your thing, grab these from steptorun on eBay.

Is there any chance that a Nike ACG model named after a ninja weapon would not be cool? Probably not. We showed you a look at a brightly colored Ashiko Boot back in February and now we bring you some images of this new grey/red/black colorway. As we mentioned earlier, these boots are named after ninja foot spikes used for climbing and traction, as well as for putting holes in their enemies. While the Ashiko Boot may not be built to kill, it certainly is built for performance, using Flywire technology and a sleek high-cut design to ensure that they are lightweight and comfortable. Not only are they highly functional, but they also look pretty fresh too. Plenty of visible Flywire and a translucent mid-panel are but a few of the nice touches that make the Ashiko far more stylish than your average clunky boot. Look for these to hit stores some time during the Holiday ‘09 season. ViaFootLockerUnlocked.

Nike flywire technology was originally used on the Nike Hyperdunk model, and was revolutionary as it added more support to the shoe without adding a heaviness or bulkiness to the shoe. Nike has gone a step further and has decided to use it on a pair of ACG Boots. Named after a ninja’s favorite weapon (ashiko - ninja foot spikes), they feature a black base along with vibrant accents throughout, as well as ACG technology.
