After a successful 2012, LeBron James and Nike are at it again this time with their latest creation, the LEBRON X shoe. Introduced today (via Nike, Inc.), the LEBRON X will be Nike’s first signature basketball show featuring Nike+ Basketball technology. Featuring a hyperfuse construction on the upper—a composite of lightweight synthetic material and mesh fused together—that is lightweight, breathable, supportive and most importantly durable; the shoe will include Flywire technology to provide excellent lockdown on the midfoot, solid rubber outsole for extra durability and more.
The kicks will also come available in select colorways (as seen above) and in three versions:

1. The fully loaded LEBRON X+ Sport Pack —which includes the shoe and the Nike+ Sport Kit
2. A Nike+ Basketball enabled version with NIKE+ technology embedded in the midsole
3. A non-enabled version

The interactive experience will allow users to track in-game activity with Nike+ enabled shoes which can be reviewed, analyzed and will be available to share the information using the Nike+ Basketball app.
The shoe is now available globally.—XXL

Nike Introduces the LEBRON X

Business magnate and philanthropist Phil Knight may be responsible for putting Nike on the map as the brand’s co-founder and chairman, but elusive Nike designer Tinker Hatfield practically revolutionized the footwear game with his Air Jordan designs.

Designing every pair of game-worn Jordans since 1988, Hatfield spoke to GQ‘s Mark Anthony Green to discuss his work pattern and collaborating with His Airness, Michael Jordan. See an excerpt below.

The Flames Less Traveled “The Jordan V was partly inspired by flames painted on a World War II plane. Michael and I used to talk about zigging while everybody else was zagging, so I made the flames point forward, not back.”

Missed Opportunities “At one point, I pushed for a less sporty sub-brand called Jordan Beyond. When Michael did SNL in ’91, he wore a Jordan Beyond quilted green jacket. But I couldn’t make it happen. I’ve still got some samples, including a basketball shoe that was perforated like a wingtip.”

De-Office the Office “When you’re a designer trying to think of new ideas, you need a space that’s off-the-wall and different. This book, A Pattern Language, which I read while studying architecture, explains why: An environment’s design gives you cues about how it’s used.”

Canon for an architect.

Work…Just Not at Work “I never design during business hours. It’s too distracting. I might do a few sketches, but almost all the drawings are done at night or on the weekends.”

When inspiration strikes.
