Earlier this year, we saw a Sue Bird Player Exclusive of the Nike Zoom Soldier 3 (III), and we now have a look at some more PE colorways of LeBron James’ newest sneaker. Seimone Augustus of the Minnesota Lynx rocked a white/blue pair earlier this week, while Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm wore a much brighter colorway consisting of a white base with bright yellow and green accents. A couple other key sneakers include the “Home” Sue Bird PE, Seimone Augustus PE, and the Candice Dupree PE. Though we did not see too many NBA players rocking the Nike ZS3 this season, it seems as though WNBA players prefer the snug fit offered via the sneaker’s two forefoot straps. Be sure to check out some more WNBA Player Exclusives (PE) of the Nike Zoom Soldier 3 (III) after the jump.

Earlier today, we showcased a new Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) colorway made exclusively for Diana Taurasi, and we now have another PE to share. This player exclusive was made for members of the King James Shooting Stars, an AAU basketball team from Akron, Ohio. This LBVI features a predominately red leather upper with white accent seen on the toeband, stitching, and sole, while black accents can be seen via the swoosh and inner lining. Unfortunately, the Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6) – King James Shooting Stars PE is not scheduled to be available for purchase anytime soon.

Yesterday, we spotted a Nike Zoom Solider III PE on Sue Bird’s feet, and today we have our first look at a Nike Zoom LeBron 6 (VI) made exclusively for Diana Taurasi of the Phoenix Mercury. This pair features a white leather upper with orange and purple accents. Though the sneakers do not match with the Phoenix Mercury jerseys too well, it is still pretty interesting too see WNBA athletes with heat on their feet. There is nearly no chance for these Player Exclsuives to ever hit retailers, so be sure to check out the additional pictures after the ‘jump.’

In an attempt to recapture that ‘ol “championship attitude”, Dwyane Wade spent the 2008-09 NBA in his ’06 Finals MVP garb: knee-high socks, McDavid protective gear and his first signature shoe, the Wade 1. As such, Converse fabricated a “Playoff Special” player exclusive version of the shoe that features a black nubuck upper and a red faux-croc embossed toe. The model features a double lasted heel that improves durability, shark inspired vents that provide relief from the Heat, and EVA inserts in the heel and forefoot for added bounce. As for the kicks, “fugget about ‘em!” They’re exclusive to Dee, unless the Heat make a pronounced run in the NBA’s 40 night marathon. Then of course, Converse would be wise to release them…in limited qualities…right? Via Bounce.

We recently viewed Ray Allen’s own PE Air Jordan Element, and now we have a look at Joe Johnson’s. The shoes feature an all white upper, toebox, and a red trim placement that’s very reminiscent of the Air Jordan XI (11). The Air Jordan Element is a very clean model from Jordan Brand, and they can’t go wrong by having two of their biggest stars promoting the model. You can only expect more PE colorways to pop up as the 2009 NBA Playoffs move further.

Throughout most of the season, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics wore player exclusive colorways of his own sneaker, the Nike Max P2 V, but now that the stakes are higher and the playoffs have started, Pierce has decided to switch to the Nike Zoom Sharkley. The Nike Zoom Sharkley was the sneaker of choice for many guards earlier in the season, but most have moved on to other sneakers including the Nike Zoom Phenom. This “Home” Nike Zoom Sharkley Player Exclusive (PE) features a white upper accented by a green midsole, green inner lining, a black outsole, a clear sole under the heel, and Pierce’s logo on the rear. Unfortunately, this colorway was made exclusively for Paul Pierce, and will most likely never be available in stores.

The toebox on this pair is decked out in black patent leather while black suede is seen on the heel. Another key feature of this sneaker is David West’s logo on the rear which reads”DWEST.” The Nike Hypermax – David West Player Exclusive (PE) should be available at your local Nike retailers in the coming weeks.
