Every athlete has a certain sport they love to play after their season ends. Most play golf, but LeBron loves Baseball.

In order to dominate the field you have to be properly laced. Nike created these sample LeBron Zoom Soldiers for The King to lace up while he was able to take some free time and just have fun. While these are brand new promo samples, they were made specifically for LeBron James.

Take a look and let us know if you’d like to see some of the LeBron line incorporated into other sports.

Here is a look-see sample of what could have been released in 2003. This Todd Jordan design looks almost identical to that of the released ‘Hulk’ Nike Dunk SB Highs with a nice twist. Leather instead of suede is what we could have ended up with, and it doesn’t look like your typical 2011 leather either… these have extremely soft premium wrinkled leather that I’m sure we all wished was still featured on today’s sneakers. It’s been rumored that there are less than 5 pairs of this sample worldwide, making this one of those rare gems that’s often unobtainable.

Check out more images of this look-see sample and let us know which you prefer, released version or sample version.

The Three Bears Dunk SB pack from Nike was a hit with many sneakerheads. Now we have something to report that will remind many of the Baby Bear low from the aforementioned pack. We now have pictures of a supposed 2009 sample of a Nike Dunk Low SB dubbed by some as the “Chirping Bird.” The reason for the alias is that, if you push down on the thin tongue that every sample has, then you’ll hear a bird chirping. For how many of you does this sample surpass all of the shoes that made up the Three Bears pack? For how many of you is this easy to look passed? We here at SneakerFiles promise to keep you updated with any further developments.

Nike SB (Skateboarding) blessed professional skater Omar Salazar with his own Nike Blazer SB. The shoe features a black quilted leather upper paired with a white Swoosh and midsole. Ink blue laces and a matching heel tab with “OMAR SALAZAR” stitched in with white stitching provides contrast. For right now, it appears as if Omar Salazar’s Nike SB Blazer sample will be exclusive to him, but we’ll keep you posted on any fresh details.

While growing up in San Fernando Valley, Paul Rodriguez (P-Rod) would take his skateboard to the loading dock at his local Albertsons supermarket and practice tricks. Fast forward a handful of years and Paul Rodriguez was blessed with a signature shoe from Nike SB. Then, the greatest designer to ever blueprint a bubble decided to put his own hands on the first Nike P-Rod. Sir Tinker Hatfield is the architect and designer who fused elements of the first P-Rod sneakers with cement print and the Air Jordan logo. Hatfield’s creation is known today as the Tinker-Rod. Pictured here is a rare sample of the sneakers with the Albersons supermarket logo etched in the toe-box. We heard a rumor that there was a sample made in P-Rod’s size with the Albersons logo, but had never seen a photo (until today). These sneakers are currently for sale on the ‘bay! Via: djfunkfusion

Find a pair of hot shoes but the seller’s asking price obliterates your budget? Sounds like my life story. A few months ago, a pair of unreleased Nike Dunk SB Hi’s hit eBay; problem was, the seller was wanted $2500 for them. Exorbitant perhaps, but with premium leather, suede accents and a marvelous black/mint green color scheme, the price might’ve been justified for this sample Nike. In a recent turn of events however, the holder decided to switch the bidding for this ultra-rare Dunk from “Buy It Now” to auction; who knows what can happen! (I’ll throw in a bid just for poops and giggles…) Click to Purchase on eBay!
