Admittedly I'm not up on new b-ball sneakers but these are DOPE! The link says there's no release info yet but if you guys find anything out about when and where they can be purchased, please let me know!
I have those same white/blue/pink/grey Sauconys four rows down on the far left. Found 'em at a thrift store some 9-10 years ago. My foot grew since I found them, but once in a while I squeeze into them and tough it out. They are way too fly to get rid of!

Those are supposed to drop pretty soon.
Pretty sure it's gonna be a House of Hoops exclusive. Those stores are popping up all over the place now, don't know if there's one in Tucson, AZ though...
There isn't, which means I may need to send you on a mission for me, Yuichi!

Edit: These are apparently NOT going to release.
These are...Air Max Lebron VII MVP
Probably a House of Hoops (Footlocker) exclusive.
I like the design in the picture, and even the sole looks snazzy. But on the foot, I don't like how the quilted blue/grey fabric area buckles rather than holds its shape.

I think the Lebron VII is the most appealing of all of his models so far. I like the Lebron IV for it's foamposite-esque design, but for more casual usage, the VII is the best one. Where they messed up with the VII is not including full length zoom. Zoom + air max would have been amazing. I recently got some full length zoom air units and I've been slipping them under the insoles of some of my larger-fitting air max pairs and it's like walking on clouds. Zoom is Nike's best cushioning technology to date, IMO.

Ive been lazily lookin for a pair of Lava Dome Considered.
These are the ones I mentioned earlier - I saw them in a Nike store in Vegas about 18 months back, possibly the one in Caesar's. The guy in the store explained the thinking behind them - all recycled/reconstituted material - and although his pitch was pretty impressive, I decided I preferred a shoe with a cleaner line.

For the 1998 World Cup, New Balance tricked out one of their styles - the 574, I think - in a whole bunch of colourways that corresponded with the qualifying nations (although maybe not all 32). Anyway, the whole run was bought up by Office, the UK shoe chain, much to the annoyance of the guy in Yellow Rat Bastard on Broadway who sold me my Lava Domes, and who was complaining that they couldn't get any stock at all (apparently the Jamaican 574 was especially hot).
It turned out that Adidas, who have historically had far closer ties to the sport than NB or other interlopers such as Nike, had also considered doing a special World Cup range, but abandoned the idea once they got wind that New Balance was further along the line with their project. I only discovered this in 2001 when I happened upon this website that had got hold of a shipment of Adidas factory samples, some of which, like the Adidas Country Brazil, never went into production.
Adidas used this colourway when they brought the Sneeker back out a few years ago, and I remember seeing it in Bobbito's book, but I've never seen these shoes in this colourway anywhere else.

There was a similar colorway released likewise at HOH a while ago. Lebron VI "Superman". I got these. Sick as hell.
If you really want the ones you posted, your best bet would be to find a sample on Ebay...
I was afraid of that. Oh well....Thanks for the info, Yuichi!
:bizzo:
...or check the hash wall at Nike outlet stores. that's where a lot of samples end up, but usually in size 9. They usually cost $45-60.

Wow, you're right! Good eye.

Looks almost like the Blazers...
too bad my feet are too wide for those. Took me a while to break into my first and last pair.
Goddamn.
