Despite the lockout still looming, the international impact of the biggest stars in the NBA still reaches out to every corner of the world. After the announcement of Yao Ming’s retirement, the void of big name basketball in China will be filled undoubtedly with three of the best ambassadors of the Jordan Brand, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony.

These three will make appearances and play in many events at Hong Kong, Beijing, Chengdu, and Hangzhou from July 26th to August 3rd. An exclusive tour in China would not be complete without new “China Flight Tour” editions of the perennial All Stars’ current signature sneakers, the CP3.IV, the Fly Wade, and the Melo M7 Advance.

The CP3.IV and its accompanying t-shirt utilize a combination of Red, Yellow, Blue, and White, all meant to represent the speed and quickness in Chris Paul’s playing style.

The Fly Wade and its accompanying t-shirt feature Red, White, Yellow, Purple, and Black, together to symbolize the high flying and above-the-rim game of Dwyane Wade.

Finally, the Melo M7 Advance and its t-shirt use Red, Black, White, and an Emerald Green to highlight the explosiveness of Carmelo Anthony on the court.

For years now, the Nike LeBron line has dedicated a special colorway to our favorite communist country and go-to financial backer, China. This season, the Nike LeBron VII (7) “China” is distinguished by its metallic gold toe and matching Flywire. The shoe’s gleaming white upper is covered with Chinese text and design, none of which I can decipher. An Air Max unit is embedded in the VIIs midsole for unmatched comfort. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) “China” will be available later this year at exclusive Nike spots.

Over the past few days, a barrage of Nike Hyperdunks has been experience as well as a successful launch. Here’s a look at yet another style, this time around the Hyperdunk is modeled after the colors of China. Featured in a sport red, black and metallic gold color-way, this sure to please Chinese Basketball and Hyperdunk fans.

It uses a soft combination of colors while lacking the incorporation of traditional Chinese characters, something that may or may not increase the appeal. Whatever the case may be, these Hyperdunks should appeal to most as the color-way is dead on. Available now at Eastbay as well as other select Nike retailers.
