Back in August we gave you a look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII in the black/metallic gold colorway, also known as “The Phantom.” A few months have passed and we have some great detailed images of these LeBron VII’s. The shoe is predominantly black, but that doesn’t mean these LeBrons don’t have some flare to break up the monotony. There are metallic gold details on the L23 logo button, lace loops and surrounding the Swoosh that pop off the black background very nicely. If you’ve been waiting for a better look at these, check out a ton of crisp detailed images of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII after the jump. Via Kinstor.

We all remember the hype surrounding Kanye West’s collaborations with Louis Vuitton for the LV Don and Jasper sneaker. Although these LV Sunlight sneakers from the Winter 2009 collection have no affiliation with the rapper/producer, they still have a clean design that should definitely appeal to those sneaker heads out there with an eye for the more luxurious side of things. These LV Sunlights feature two colorways, grey/royal blue and khaki/red. The upper is a combination of premium suede and leather with perforated suede side panels, a suede ankle strap and mesh tongue and liner. If you missed out on the “Dons” or the “Jaspers” you can still cop a pair of LV Sunlights at Louis Vuitton.
