$170 “Air Force inspired” shoes

Nike and Lebron James this week unveiled the superstar’s new signature shoes — the Lebron 9 “Cannon.” Apparently, according to the AP, they are inspired by the Air Force.
A design for Lebron James’ latest signature sneaker was inspired by the U.S. Air Force.
Nike calls it “The Cannon” edition of the LeBron 9. The military-green theme is a nod to the Miami Heat having their first training camp since James joined the team last season at Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base.
Those installations in Florida’s Panhandle hosted the Heat for about a week, and players interacted with military personnel during that camp.
So, I’m going to guess the military influence is the green, not as obvious as what some other teams have done. Unless that bright orange is a nod to the always fashionable reflective belts.
Perform at optimal levels with Stealth

Fellas, when your game at the club needs a force multiplier, look no further than Stealth, for men: the officially licensed cologne of the U.S. Air Force. [Credit Air Force Times' inimitable deputy news editor Brian Everstine for the joke]
That’s right, if you’re looking to leverage a fresh scent with a potential mate, the Air Force has a product for you. It’s all the raw masculinity of an F-15E Strike Eagle in a bottle. Stealth makes sure your business processes are always optimized, even in a tough budget climate because you can pick it up online for around $20.
But wait, there’s more! You can air your joint credentials at your next command picnic by wearing Devil Dog, the Marine Corps’ cologne that we here at the Gannett Government Media have all decided is quite, uh, pungent. Or you can wear Patton, the official scent of the Army. Because, as my colleague Joe Gould at Army Times points out, who wouldn’t want to smell like “Old Blood and Guts” himself?
I suppose all this begs the question: how did Parfumologie, the company behind the cedar-warm-musk-with-woody-notes scented cologne, get license to use the Air Force logo? Well we did some research here at the Air Force Times Center of Excellence and found out that you too can license an Air Force product. Just click here and to get the ball rolling.
But be forewarned, the Air Force is quite discerning when it comes to licensing its image. The elite club of licensees include CuddleMeWarm, “the web’s #1 Korean mink blankets and products,” footedpajamas.com, and of course there is exclusive line of bird feeders from wildlifealllies.com.
