Wow, oh wow! Wow! Just wow. These are friggin awesome!

This past weekend’s release of the LeBron X ‘Cork’ gave collectors a taste of Nike’s abilities to transform a high-tech performance sneaker into a premium lifestyle off-court shoe. Nike already has an another lifestyle Lebron X getting ready to share the shine! This is the first look at the Nike LeBron X NSW Lifestyle Sample; it features a modified, more casual mid-top silhouette (looks like a Blazer) with laser-etched lines on the upper and ventilated areas that preserves the LeBron X spirit. The super nice brown leather upper is supported by a unique midsole and LeBron lion logo on the heel, this LeBron X NSW Lifestyle Sample absolutely shines with grown-up swagger. The insole also features a special label that reads ‘Virescit Vulnere Virtus’ – a Latin phrase that has anchored the LeBron NSW Collection since its launch.

We have a ton of detailed pictures after the break, no release info yet, but you can be sure we will cover it as they become available. So now the ultimate question, better than the corks?
