While we were all still too busy watching highlights of Ray Allen’s season-saving legacy-saving game tying three pointer in Game 6 of the NBA Finals last night, new images leaked of the Air Jordan XX8 ‘Miami Heat’ PE. With an all black upper for away games featuring heavy red accents on the sole and tongue, the Jumpman logo gets a makeover in yellow and Ray’s signature logo is printed on the inner shroud in white. For more images from solefly of Ray Allen’s exclusive, hit the jump and let us know who you think will win Game 7 this Thursday.

The Big Three were back in a big way for Game 4, combining for 85 points en route to a 109-93 victory to even up the series at 2 games, and Ray Allen won’t go unheralded for his contribution of 14 points off the bench. Jordan Brand’s lone player in these Finals decided to break out a new colorway of the Air Jordan XX8 for Game 4; a pair that looked strikingly similar to the shoes given to international players at the Jordan Brand Classic for this year. With an all black upper and red midsole, Ray Allen didn’t over think things on his way to a Heat victory. Let us know what you think of these PEs while you view more photos after the jump.

While Jordan purists and 29 NBA cities alike rejoice that LeBron James is in fact not Michael Jordan after the Heat’s meek showing in a historic 77-103 loss in Game 3, his presence was felt thanks to Ray Allen’s brief appearance in a new colorway of his Air Jordan XX8 PE. This sneaker was by far the best thing that happened to the Miami Heat last night, with its black/gold upper showing off Jordan Brand’s new fractal elephant print atop an all gold midsole. See more images of Ray in action in the Air Jordan XX8 Ray Allen “Finals” PE last night hand picked from hundreds of depressing bench photos after the jump.

Ray Allen continues to contribute to the Heat’s 2013 post season run, scoring 13 points on 3/5 from behind the arc in his Air Jordan XX8 PEs. For the first couple of games he laced up in his special Air Jordan XX8 post-season PEs, featuring a white base and red/gold accents. Other details include a black carbon fiber plate for support on the ankle and a gold zipper.

When initially released, the Air Jordan XX8 turned heads as a shoe that looked like nothing anyone had ever seen before, so it made sense that a player as unique as Russel Westbrook would lace them up throughout the season. With its incredibly lightweight frame supported by carbon fiber, the shoe was a perfect fit for a player as quick and explosive as #0. The shoe comes in an all blue with Russel’s motto of “Why Not?” written in orange, a Thunder colored camo pattern, and an all white version with a cut out pattern. The Air Jordan XX8 “Westbrook Pack” will release this Saturday, June 8th at select retailers for $250 each. Hit the jump for more images and info on the release.

Although the Heat fell in Game 1 to the San Antonio Spurs last night, it didn’t stop Ray Allen from channeling his inner Jesus Shuttlesworth while on his way to a clutch night, making 3 of 4 from the outside and finishing with 13 points. He did so wearing the Air Jordan XX8 “Finals” PE in the white/university gold colorway, which is outfitted with a cut out print also featured on the Air Jordan XX8 “OKC Westbrook” Pack dropping tomorrow. Stick with Jordans Daily as we’ll be serving up exclusive coverage of Ray Allen’s footwear throughout the entirety of the 2013 NBA Finals and head here for detailed images of the shoe.

The Air Jordan XX8 initially shocked audiences with its looks, eventually drawing comparisons to Gary Payton’s Nike ‘The Glove’ signature. But what sets it apart from other shoes featuring a full zip-up upper of the past is the technological advancements the shoe utilizes in the sole. The above image shows an exploded view of the Flight Plate innards that make the Air Jordan XX8 so responsive and lightweight. Get the full image after the jump and let us know if you’re hoping this tech becomes a mainstay in the JB catalog.

With Game 1 of the NBA Finals hours away, Jordan brand leaks a few detailed images of the Air Jordan XX8 for Ray Allen.  The exclusive release sports four colorways to choose from: the black/gold and gym red/gold for away games and the white/gym red and white/gold for home.  The away shoes feature a fractal elephant print on  the upper and with plenty of gold found throughout each, an element no doubt referencing the gold he’s got in mind this post-season. Get all the images in the gallery and check back with us for the recap.

The Air Jordan XX8 will return tomorrow, getting dressed up in a very Air Jordan VIII look. The inspiration comes in the form of the graphics applied to the sneaker’s shroud, a group that reworks the jagged shapes of its reference point into a more fluid, curvy set.
