Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) Low – White – Sample

Aaron Hope — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:00:56 +0000

It remains to be seen what LeBron James will wear this postseason. But after the NBA season ends in June, one thing is clear: expect a bunch of Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) Low colorways. Here’s a sample pair to give you an idea of how the design has changed through time. These are identical to the first pairs we saw back in October ‘09, and have seen their Air cushion Max’d to wrap around the heel for the release model. Aside from that, the main differences are the perfs and woven sections that are both replaced by smooth leather, and a gum sole that frankly, looks just as good as its icey replacement. Check out more photos after the jump, then have a look at our new Sneaker News Nike LeBron Archive. via LRJ23

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low – Rumor Pack

John K. — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:00:26 +0000

Oh, the places he’ll go? Well, we don’t know for certain yet, do we? LeBron has every reason to stay in Cleveland, but there’s been rumors about LeBron throwing up his diamond with the Nets or cruising down 7th Ave. in New York. Then LeBron threw a curveball when he said he’d rock an ushanka for CSKA Moscow if the price was right, and had us open-mouthed when he appeared in a commercial wearing a Browns jersey.

LeBron’s focus hasn’t swayed, though, because he’s still looking for his first Championship. But to poke fun at the situation is the Nike Air Max LeBron VII Low Rumor Pack, featuring colourways of the teams who have been or will be courting LeBron once he’s free. The Knicks (Orange/Blue), Nets (Grey/Red), CSKA Moscow (Red/Blue), and the Cleveland Browns (Brown/Orange) would love to add him to their roster, but they’ll have to settle for these colourways for now. Check out the pics and let us know where you think LeBron will end up at the end of the summer. Available now at Dunk.

Style: 395778-400
Color: Varsity Royal/Varsity Royal-Orange Blaze-White (New York Knicks)

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) – Hardwood Classic PE’s – New Images

Aaron Hope — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 00:00:27 +0000

In years gone by, ‘Hardwood Classics’ had denoted the Cleveland Cavaliers’ throwback jerseys. That’s still technically true, but with a new take on that classic logo and the new red/yellow HWC jerseys, the opportunity has opened for multiple Nike Air Max LeBron VII Hardwood Classics PEs. Here are just two of at least four we’ve seen this year.

For the OG Cavs jersey, it’s a blue and white look with orange accents that perfectly match the jerseys Cleveland gave up to get rid of MJ-laden nightmares. For the new HWC look, the AML7s are all red, save a white Swoosh and choice yellow hits. It’s a little late in the season for these to drop at retail, so stick with Sneaker News for updates on all LeBron James player exclusives. via SO

Nike Air Max LeBron VII – SVSM Away PE – Detailed Images

Aaron Hope — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 23:00:09 +0000

There were a ton of different green-on-white Nike Air Max LeBron VIIs to commemorate King James’ global tour last summer. That’s part what makes the Away PE for LeBron’s alma mater even better than the home pair. In these detailed images, you’ll get a sense for how rich the colouring on these really is. It might make you wonder why Notre Dame and Nike haven’t been able to hook up; the alternate uniform/sneaker combinations would be innumerable. But we digress; enjoy more photos after the jump from this shoe that reminds us of a time when basketball players didn’t have to pretend to go to college before being drafted. via NLB

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) – Cool Grey – White – Releasing This Month

John K. — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:00:29 +0000

Cool Grey – the color the became a shoe thanks to the Air Jordan XI Cool Grey – has been a household name in the sneakerhead ranch for many years. This newly released pair of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII may be unable to take ownership of that color, but it does an excellent job at maintaining the “cool” in cool grey. While we’ve had a generous portion of LeBron VIIs to the point of oversaturation, the Cool Grey LeBron VII is too clean a pair to pass up. But there’s always room for dessert, right? Check your local House of Hoops or other Nike retailers soon. via NL.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) ‘Red Carpet’ vs. ‘No Woven’ Sample – Comparison

Aaron Hope — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:00:01 +0000

There have been so many colourways of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII that it takes a true fan to keep track. Among the better looking and better received pairs pairs of AML7s is the Red Carpet edition. It’s unlike any LeBron colourway we’ve seen before or since, and it turns out, there was another sample version with some major differences from the released model.

Here we have for you a detailed comparison between two versions of the Red Carpet Nike Air Max LeBron VII NFW. You might even call this newly revealed sample ‘NW’, since nothing on it is woven. Whereas the production model was a black basket-like look, this sample used perforated nubuck. And while that’s a pretty significant change that you might overlook from afar, it’s far from the only difference.

In regards to the NW version relative to its NFW counterpart, these joints have different coloured logos on the tongue and medial heel, they use ‘7′ instead of ‘VII’ on the heels, they have red and black insoles, and their laces are wax coated, plus they have considerably larger aglets. Something like this is probably best seen instead of read, so be sure to click below for a bunch more photos. via NLB

NCAA Feet: Heat From The ‘09-’10 Season

John K. — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:00:02 +0000

There’s nothing better than college basketball. To kick off March and the ‘madness’ that will soon ensue, we thought we’d take a look at some notable kicks seen on the feet of some of college basketball’s best and brightest. Although these student athletes obviously don’t have their own signature sneaks yet, we’ve seen some interesting footwear choices flaunted on the NCAA hardwood this season. While college ball has its raging fanatics and sports betting and such, it’s still a game played by youngsters who love the game or have hoop dreams in the NBA. Over the season we saw some college ballplayers rock some serious heat on the court – Air Jordan XI Space Jam, Last Shot XIV, Penny 1/2 Cent, adidas Crazy 8 PE, Hare Jordan VII, and so on. There’s no doubt there are shoeheads in the NCAA, so check out this collection of images collected from games throughout the nation this season.

Nike LeBron VII (7) P.S. POP – White – Black – New Images

Aaron Hope — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:00:40 +0000

There’s some genuine confusion about the Nike LeBron VII Post Season. First off, there’s no clear indication of Max Air whatsoever. You can guarantee that there’s some great cushioning installed, but LeBron himself said the switch to Max was because he couldn’t feel Zoom as much. What is clear here, is that this is a very clean version of the LeBron VII PS, its white and black design enhanced by choice red hits. Expect these around the time King James’ Cavs head into the NBA Playoffs as the Eastern Conference’s number 1 seed, or perhaps shortly thereafter. via fatboykickz.
