A couple of days ago, we heard about the Nike Air Max LeBron VII “Chicago” More Than A Game Artist Series which continued to fuel your liking towards James’s seventh signature sneaker. Along with the relea

se of the previously mentioned shoe in Chicago, Illinois, ‘The Chosen One’ also received this gift from Chicago artist Jeff Zimmerman.

First off, Zimmerman has achieved national and international recognition for his uniquely-designed murals and portraits. As for this multi-colored Air Max LeBron VII, Zimmerman was supposedly inspired by James on and off court feats. However, he also used the city of Chicago for much of the design as well. For example, the Chicago city flag has been woven into the shoe, while a Chicago-style hot dog symbolizes players being obnoxious ‘hot dogs’ on the court. In addition, the vintage-like Nike swoosh represents a statement that reads, “experience, plus practice and hard work, make us who we are.”

To commemorate its 20th Anniversary, Philly based urban retailer VILLA has collaborated with Jay-Z and Udi Avshalom of Training Camp NYC to create the limited edition “Americana” Boot.

Made of full grain Bison leather, the limited edition boots come in brown and black. Only 54 pairs exist and they’re only sold at Villa in Philadelphia.

The Americana comes in whole sizes only and will be released on September 15, retailing for $200. Visit www.ruvilla.com for more information.  And yes ya boy will have a pair. Thiese are hella moxy.

The 7-foot-1, 325-pound O’Neal, who threw out the first pitch before the Cardinals’ game against the Reds on Tuesday night, is in town to film an episode for his new reality television show, which will debut this fall.

O’Neal will challenge Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols to a baseball competition on Thursday night at T.R. Hughes Stadium in O’Fallon, Mo., and the 6,000-seat stadium ran out of the free tickets in a matter of minutes.

Celebrities love Twitter, right? Just look around, Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon, P Diddy — they won’t shut up on it or about it. But not every celebrity loves it. Take hip hop artist Kanye West, for example. Apparently mad about people pretending to be him on Twitter, he went on a Peter Finch-style rant on his blog about the service.
