To the dismay of sneakerheads and  even just Miami Heat fans, the cancellation of the Nike Lebron PS “Finals” Edition really gives a “what if” effect. Nike had released a statement that read, “This new colorway of the LEBRON 8 PS will be available at limited retailers.” with the intention of releasing this “Finals” Edition if only LeBron James and the Miami Heat had won the NBA Finals back in June. Would you have considered buying these if they were released?

Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals was quite anticlimactic with the Los Angeles Lakers winning by 25 points; however, Game 2 proved to be a completely different story. The Orlando Magic rookie, Courtney Lee, missed an alley-oop attempt with 0.6 seconds left in regulation, sending the game into overtime. There, Kobe Bryant and company took over, and ended up winning Game 2 with a final score of 101-96. Though the game progressed at a relatively slow speed, it was nonetheless a great show of basketball talent and fancy footwear. Some of the sneakers on show in Game 2 included the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4), adidas TS Lightspeed, Nike Hyperdunk, Nike Foamposite Lite, adidas TS Commander LT, Nike Huarache ’09, and the adidas Fly By. Be sure to check out the pictures from the 2009 NBA Finals Game 2 after the jump.
