The timing for our look at the dissected Air Jordan XI seemed appropriate as we discussed the Space Jam retro’s extensively in our Top 30 Sneakers of 2009 list. Interesting coincidence, then, to see one of this year’s biggest new releases get the same treatment today. The sneakerhead’s sneakerheads over at Sole Collector didn’t cut up the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, but we’re getting a new perspective on it, thanks to photos like the one above. More like that one, plus several Jason Petrie design sketches follow the jump.
