Classics Revisited: Nike Air Zoom Generation – Wear-Test Sample

Classics Revisited: Nike Air Zoom Generation – Wear-Test Sample

And what took Nike $90M to secure Lebron, would be the beginning of a new powerhouse signature line. As the new Air Max Lebron VII continues to cause a stir since its debut, we reflect upon where it all started- the Nike Zoom Generation. Specifically a look at a sample that only few have had the privilege to see first hand. Check out the entire feature at SneakersNews HD.
