A couple of months ago, some blurry resized photos of the upcoming LeBron VII, nicknamed the Phantom, showed up on a couple of websites. Now, we finally get a clearer look at what the shoe will actually look like. This image shows a grade school sized sample, so there may be some minor or even major differences between the shoe pictured here and the version that will actually release, but you take what you can get from a sneak preview. The adult sizes will reportedly have a Max LeBron VII logo, but who knows what can happen between now and October, when the first colorway drops. For now, the shoe sports a very high cut and is equipped with Flywire and a full visible Air Max sole unit. We’ll see how close the final version stays to this sample, but it looks like a good start. This black on black pair is slated for a December 1st release, but there will definitely be a lot more info to report between now and then, so sit tight and we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, you can check out the blurry LeBron VII Phantom image after the jump. Via NT.
Release Date: 12/01/2009
Color: Black/Black
Style: 375793-001

Looks like they just mashed up the hyperdunk, Lebron VI and Jordan ’09…

I like the direction it’s heading in and the possibilities. I’ve been waiting for another LeBron shoe with an air pocket since the AZG lows. I’m interested to see how they make it “LeBron’s shoe” with logos and lion heads since right now it looks a little generic and plain.

Looks like a Suped up version of the Soldier IIs.
May 6th, 2009 at 10:38 pm

May 6th, 2009 at 10:50 pm

Definately a bigger fan of the 6!

I love black NIKE’s, especially ones that have a fat air bubble. Besides, this is an unfinished product. Lets wait & see. So far, so good, peace.

lebron will flatten those air max LOL
May 7th, 2009 at 1:21 am
with the air max unit in there, they’ll most likely call it Air Max Lebron VII.

How can they downgrade to something like this from the VI? The VI was revolutionary in terms of style and performance…
Bad choice guys!!

I like this but not for a Lebron shoe. I guess b/c its a generic/plan lookn shoe. It looks good but I wouldnt think that it was a bron 7 shoe.
May 7th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I think the air max unit will be something you never saw before…basically a new Air Max 360 unit…
May 7th, 2009 at 10:18 am
they are ok.. i was lookin for something better than that. they look like “lil boys” shoes.
May 7th, 2009 at 11:01 am
PITIFUL, IT LOOKS LIKE A HIGH TOP AIRMAX.
THEY FOLLOW THE ZOOM LEBRON VI’S (THE ONLY LEBRONS THAT I THINK ARE PURE HEAT, I GOT THE “CHALK EDITIONS” OR THE HALF DESCENT SOLDIER III’S) UP WITH THIS CRAP.
IT WILL PROB SELL JUST IT GOT HIS NAME ON IT.
DOES ANYBODY SEE WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAID IT’S EASY TO REPLACE NIKE, CAUSE THEY HAVE GOTTEN LAZY AS F&CK WITH SHOE DESIGN. HENCE THE PIC ABOVE.
(ALSO THE AIR JORDAN 24 (THAT’S RIGHT AJ24) PICS THEY GOT ON KENLU.NET WHERE THAT AIR JORDAN 24 LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE LEBRON SOLDIER III’S WITHOUT THE 2 STRAPS, LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST FLIPPED A COIN TO SEE WHO WOULD GET THE DESIGN)
THEY JUST KEEP RECYCLING SHOES, (A AIR BUBBLE, SOME LEATHER, & FLYWARE, ICESOLE, OR SOMETHIN)
AND WHAT’S UP WITH ALL THESE NICKNAMES? ARE THEY
JUST PULLING NAMES OUT OF A HAT OR SOMETHING.
(ZOOM KOBE) (KB8) (ZOOM LEBRON) (BLACK MOMBA) (PHANTOM)(AIR YEEZY)
GIVE EACH ONE, 1 NAME & RUN WITH IT.

LEBRON VII = HYPERDUNK + AIR MAX + AIR JORDAN 13 (THE ONE WITH THE SUEDE)+ AIR JORDAN 23 (UPPER ANKLE AREA).
IN THE WORDS OF KANYE WEST FROM “GET’EM hIGH” , WE DON’T WANNA HEAR/SEE THAT WEAK SH&T NO MO. HIS SHOE INCLUDED.
May 7th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Damn fam…everytime I read 1 of your comments, u just be jappin’ out, like NIKE fired you or something. Kool out, who cares, sometimes you are right tho. Dont worry, real heads know tha deal, let them goofys buy that shit. I like this shoe tho, LeBron or not, its a blk swoosh with a air bubble…Im good.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Yeah man You a straight HATER!! NO ONE will EVER replace NIKE get over it! LAME!
By the Way you cant lose with a full AIR Bubble!! SO JB bring out a 2010 with a full Bubble!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
