Once it was time to take the court in Philly on Friday, LeBron and Dwyane Wade both came out wearing new player exclusive version of their signature kicks.

Hitting the court in their alternate red “Away” uniforms, LeBron shed his “Mango” 9s in favor of a red and black pair while Wade took the court wearing the Fly Wade 2 we previewed on Thursday, ultimately leading the Heat to a 20-point win. Both pairs of kicks were essentially alternate versions of shoes we’ve seen from them before, with LeBron’s an inverse of the PE he rocked against the Clippers earlier this season.

Take a look at the kicks and stay tuned for more PEs throughout the rest of the 2011-2012 NBA season.

Before taking the court in Philadelphia on Friday night, LeBron was rocking a fresh pair of his Nike signature that has yet to hit retailers.

King James posted a pic of himself sporting the upcoming LeBron 9 “Mango” before taking part in a lopsided Miami Heat win over the Sixers.

Although LeBron is wearing them a month before they hit retailers, you can cop a pair for yourself come March 2 for $170.

Nike has created a special player exclusive Air Foamposite One for King James.

The only pair in existence, this Foamposite comes with a completely matte black upper and icy outsole – a look that sneakerheads have undoubtedly been clamoring for. Finished off with teal accents on the pull tabs and toe branding, LeBron’s lion logo adorns the heel of the kicks.

Check out this first look from UNKNWN founder and co-owner Frankie Walker at the exclusive 1-of-1 and let us know: If Nike Sportswear were to drop a matte black Foamposite, would it be a “must cop”?

The LeBron 9 has gone from being hated on to loved, thanks to great colorways since it release.

You can now pre-order your pair of LeBron 9 ‘Swingman’ from trusted online retailer, Air-Knight. With its green abyss and obsidian uppers, this pair looks to be another great addition to the lineup.

Is the LeBron 9 ‘Swingman’ a must have or are you waiting for the ‘Dunkman’?

Recently, before the NBA season finally got under way, LeBron paid a visit to London.

Stopping by the local House of Hoops and the London School of Basketball, LBJ showed off his new kicks, connected with fans, and answered a number of questions touching on his love of the game, his greatest achievements, and ways in which younger players can improve their overall game.

Check out the new video and catch LeBron and the Miami Heat as they take on San Antonio tomorrow night.

With the Heat coming up short for the second night in a row with a 95-89 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at the Staples Center, the biggest news for LBJ fans is the kicks King James debuted.

James took the court last night in a black/red player exclusive makeup of his latest kicks. The LeBron 9 appeared to feature the same color blocking scheme as the LeBron 9 “Ohio State”, with black in place of the grey throughout.

While there is no word yet of a potential release, take a look at the kicks and stay tuned to SneakerFiles for more PEs throughout the 2011-2012 NBA season.
