On Friday August 7th, LeBron James unveiled his latest shoe in Akron. While always being well built for on-court play, Bron Bron’s signature line hasn’t always been as street ready as other signature lines. So with the help of designer Jason Petrie & Keenan Thompson (Jay-Z was busy) presented the Nike Air Max LeBron VII.
Like it’s predecessors, I’m sure that these are more than up to the task for the court. But how will they fare for civilian use?
An Interview With Jason Petrie, Designer Of The Nike Air Max LeBron VII
From a sentimental standpoint, the black patent leather will draw comparisons to the iconic XI’s. And the full heel visible air unit is a nice touch, along with the flywire going across not just the upper but the swoosh as well. I’d give the shoe a B, because I think a speed lacing system instead of the traditional would’ve made it look a bit cleaner. It’s definitely a step up in the visual design area though.

^ more pics of more colorways.
I think an all black pair would be tough or a dunkman colorway. Lebron is that dude! Go Cavs in 2010!
all black would be fierce as well.
i like these ones better

yes.
really nice shoes,so fresh,so good,so lebron,what else?
Man no other athlete has managed to pull this shoe game off like Mike, All Lebrons joints look big and clunky, like joints a robot would wear in the year 2037. Im sure they prolly good on the court, but at the mall… not so much
seattle griffeys mixed with aj 11 mixed with more recent max uptempos

You obviously didn’t own the first AZG’s. Those joints were low profile, lightweight & had clean lines. Pretty tough shoe IMO. I’d take a couple of pairs of those in DS condition.

Them shits are hot….not paying that $180-$210 price tag they will come with.
Those joint are hot; Lebron finally got himself some dope kicks.
