Nike Air Max LeBron VII – Carbon Fiber Bugatti by Mizzeecustoms

If the High-School SAT exam still used word analogies in the Verbal section, one question posed could be: ‘Kobe Bryant’ is to ‘Aston Martin’ as ‘LeBron James’ is to…well, it wouldn’t be so terrible if you drew a blank. The answer to that question is ‘Bugatti’; LeBron James has declared the carbon fiber Bugatti to be his dream car, and despite the millions he earns every year, even he thinks dropping one-million-plus dollars on a whip is too much to swallow. In fact, the carbon fiber panels on the Nike LeBron 8 were directly inspired by LeBron James’ dream-car, and LeBron’s pure joy of the LeBron VII and VIII means he must enjoy the ride as well. Well, we all know Nike collaborated with Aston Martin to create a limited edition set of sneakers, so sneaker-customizer Mizzeecustoms got behind the wheel and created his own Air Max LeBron VII custom using the carbon fiber Bugatti Veyron as the point of reference. Check out the teaser video after the jump and stick with Sneaker News for more updates on this sick custom concept!

Air Jordan V – White – Varsity Red – Obsidian

2011 is already shaping up to be a worthy follow-up to 2010′s monster release, with the confirmation of the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, Air Jordan III in both Black and White, and various other new Retro colorways. One such newbie is this Air Jordan V Retro, featuring a white patent leather upper with navy blue and varsity red trim. The midsole features a nice Olympic-like combination of Obsidian and Varsity Red with trademark AJ5 details like the translucent outsole and the 3M oversized tongue. 2011 could be deemed be the ‘Year of the V’ with this new colorway along with the Wolf Grey and OG Black/Metallic Silver – and don’t forget the rumored release of the ‘Grape/Laney’ Pack.
