i still don’t know why LBJ is going to a max shoe after all those years in zoom air.
August 5th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
EPIC FAIL… Not feeling these at all. I like his older shoes

His older shoes look like gay space boots. Plus Air max just looks better on a shoe. This has a great 90′s Nike basketball look.

I’ll have my pair in October as usual.

nike air griffey 2 inspired?

I agree Air Max gives a much better profile and look than Zoom. Bad news for the NBA, as if anyone could jump with him, LeBron is going to be a couple centimeters taller. Still a ways to go on the design, as LeBron’s game has been waaay past huge logos, signs, and the dreaded signature. I always go back to the same point: Penny and Allan Houston could unveil arguably the most revolutionary design Nike has ever created. Again, Allan Houston. Yet, two of the greatest players to ever touch a rock have designs that will probably share features from many run-of-the-mill Nike Basketball designs this year. Kobe and LeBron are bigger than that. Step it up, Nike.

NOt a good look. he went from the very versatile as far as what colors looking zoom lebrons to this.
this is like mj dropping the air jordan 11 or 12 then follow it up with a aj 19 or something.
i got 3 pair of the zooms. (chalk, mvp, & akron)
i won’t have any of these

I want no one to take this the wrong way!
I DO KNOW THERE MEANT FOR THE COURTS BUT!
You know how Jordans kinda tend to lose it after 13 , 14
(everyone has a diff opinion)
Well theirs that point where you just lose interest in jordans
Maybe Lebron will do it backward and once it gets to 14 , 15
it will start looking sick!

Sad. Just sad. If I were a shoe salesman I would be really embarrased to say ‘these are the Lebrons’ to a customer.

who’s rocking these space boots?
August 6th, 2009 at 2:46 am
pass..
August 6th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Way better!
August 6th, 2009 at 11:46 am
They are so nice! F all the haters!

You all forget, LBJ did say he was participating in 2010 Slam Dunk Contest @ ASW in Dallas. Maybe he wanted something even more lighter to sky in & with the Flywire + Max Air, he might just be able to pull off that dunk from the three-point line!
