Update: The official name of this sneaker seem to be “Nike Air Max LeBron VII” due to the use of Air Max in place of Zoom Air Technology.
Last month, we gave you a sneak peek at a black on black GS sample of the Zoom LeBron VII and now we have some additional looks at a few more colorways that you might see when these kicks begin to hit stores later this year. It is unknown if these are the final versions of the shoe or if they will be official colorways, but either way, you can finally get a closer look at the eagerly anticipated sneaker. Rather than going the flashy route, the Zoom LeBron VII looks to have a pretty basic basketball aesthetic with nice touches like Flywire, patent leather and a full-sole Air Max unit. Not only are there three different colorways previewed here, but each pair sports some unique characteristics from the other two besides the obvious color differences.
For starters, there is a white/navy/gold pair that features Flywire on the upper and some metallic gold accents. Next up is a possible “Dunkman” inspired edition that uses a black and light green color scheme with Flywire also covering the upper, but placed at some different angles than on the previous colorway. The third version features a simple white upper with red accents and some touches of metallic silver. What makes this colorway so interesting is that the Flywire section of the upper has been replaced by a white woven leather design. As stated earlier, it is still unclear if there will be any changes made to these before the retail versions drop, but at least you can start to get a feel for the basic design. Stay tuned for more on the Zoom LeBron VII as new info becomes available, and in the meantime, you can get an up-close look at these three colorways after the jump. Thanks to Ice-Sole and FeelSoleGood for the photos.

That’s a nice shoe straight up, but just a little too close to the Hyperize in some ways

yea they do resemble alot like the hyperize & thats a bad look for lebron since his LB6 was his best selling sneaker to date & this is a mockery of him, nike can do in the sneaker design department & these sneakers will be redesign & thats 4 sure BUT the navy gold & white is a gd color way for him maybe he should stick to thou’s colors instead of tryna be like jordan & go for the blk/red/white colors WHICH his team doesnt HAVE!

They’re actually “Air Max Lebron VII”
Lebron 1-6 were made with Zoom Technology.
The 7 is made with Air Max Technology.
Nike is just killing with with the Flywire Tech.

Oh and what else is interesting:
The black/gold cw is labeled as the “Away On-Court”
You’d think they’d put Crimson/Gold and maybe some hints of Navy.
But I guess Black/Gold works too.
Great shoe.

these are nicer than some of the other mashups Nike has designed for him throughout the years….

after really great VI, these are decent. but his pre-VI PE models were total trash so considering that these are fine.

They look okay from these samples, just hope they dont look too much like the hyperize or whatever theyre called
June 25th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
WOW!

How can he possibly go from one the dopest shoes ever to drop in the VI, to this rubbish, going backwards to the typical basketball shoe that looks like every other ballin shoe they’ve ever created.. i see Jordan 2009, blue chip and countless others in this. LBJbrand has fucked it.
