This thread is about the NIKE Air Max LeBron VII (7), the 7th Signature installation of the LeBron James' series.
Coming off an MVP season of the NBA season of 2008 - 2009, LeBron James is ready to come back to the next season and hopefully win the NBA championship. Last year, he was wearing the Nike Zoom LeBron VI (6), but now he's switching it up and getting ready to ball on air as he will enter the NBA 2009-2010 season with the Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7).

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Black White Gold
After the [Phantom Nike Air Max LeBron VII releases in December], Nike is set to follow up with the Black/White/Gold Nike Air Max LeBron VII. The Black/White/Gold Nike Air Max LeBron VII features a combo upper of White patent leather and Black nubuck. The Flywire panel is done in Black with Gold Flywire and a White, Gold piped Swoosh. The upper sits on a blacked out Visible Air Unit.
Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) Phantom Final Retail Version | Detailed Look
The Phantom Nike Air Max LeBron VII is officially set to release a month from today. I posted detailed pics of Phantom VIIs earlier but the VIIs pictured in that original post], were actually samples and not the final retail version. The final Phantom Nike Air Max LeBron VII features the same Black leather and Black nubuck combo but instead of the tonal accenting found on the sample, the finals feature Gold accenting at the upper eyelet, LeBron logos, lace plates, lace tips, and the circular logo on the outsole.
The Phantom Nike Air Max LeBron VII is set to release on 12/17.
Last Friday, in his only appearance in Madison Square Garden, LeBron James led the Cavaliers to a 100-91 victory. LeBron was on fire in the first quarter, scoring 19 points on 8-9 shooting.
The game also marked the on-court debut of a special colorway of the Air Max LeBron VII. Often referred to as the "Red Carpet" version of the Air Max LeBron VII, the shoe trades its Flywire upper for a luxurious texture.
To celebrate The King's most recent appearance in New York, a limited number of these shoes will go on sale later this week in the New York area. If you're not in the New York area, or you miss out this week, the shoe will be more broadly available right after Thanksgiving.
Check out the photos, and tell us what you think in the comments.

Tonight, after spending their morning participating in their victory parade, players from LeBron's favorite baseball team have made their way to Madison Square Garden to watch The King in his only game in New York this season.
The next time LeBron steps out of the house with his favorite baseball cap, he can hook it up with a special - and timely - version of the Air Max LeBron VII.
Check out the photographs and tell us what you think.
Double checked the dates with NikeCS and it looks like the dates are correct. Keep your eyes open for "Red Carpet" in upcoming weeks, most likely they'll release Oct.3.

FYI:
After chatting with a few of the Designers for Men's NIKE BBALL(Lebron VII), don't expect multiple(15-20 different colorways) colorways this year and going forward with all other future Lebron releases due to fact Lebron is highly against it, what ever Lebron wants I am pretty sure Lebron gets...What do you guys think about that??? IMO I agree with Lebron 100% to many colorways in one style kills a shoe.

Following up on our earlier China Nike Air Max LeBron VII preview, we'll take a more detailed look at the upcoming release. Straying away from the traditional Red based China LeBron motif, the China Nike Air Max LeBron VII features a White/Gold upper with a Gold Metallic trim and White leather. The Flywire is done in Gold, the White Swoosh is lined with Gold, and the upper eyelet rivet is also done in Metallic Gold. The upper sits on a Gold Visible Air Unit and White outsole. The medial branding features LeBron's Chinese name.
No confirmed release date yet for the China Nike Air Max LeBron VII.
After releasing the initial [Black/White/Red Nike Air Max LeBron VII], Nike has several more retail colorways planned including, the Red Carpet Nike Air Max LeBron VII. The Red Carpet Nike Air Max LeBron VII is inspired by LeBron's red carpet lifestyle and features a colorway and materials that reflect that part of his life. Instead of the Nike Flywire that will be featured in many of the Air Max LeBron VII colorways, the Red Carpet Nike Air Max LeBron VII features a Black woven upper with embroidered Blue Swoosh. The patent leather that will be features on many of the colorways is replaced with White textured leather. The upper sits on a Blue Visible Air Unit and outsole. The package is completed with subtle Red accents.

LeBron James along with Kenan Thompson from SNL and Nike designer Jason Petrie has just finished presenting the Nike Air Max LeBron VII to the audience here in Akron Ohio. LeBron and Kenan took questions from a number of audience members and those who submitted over the internet. They both gave a nice in depth break down of the Air Max LeBron VII. Take a look at the a few photos we just shot along with the first live image of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII below…

NIKE, LeBron James Create Performance Excellence, the NIKE Air Max LeBron VII
NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) today introduced the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, the latest and most innovative shoe in LeBron James' signature line, at a global media summit in Akron, Ohio featuring James and performance footwear designer Jason Petrie.
The Nike Air Max LeBron VII is designed to deliver maximum comfort and stability. It features an innovative, basketball-specific Max Air airbag unit, a cushioning first for the company, and a Flywire engineered upper using higher tensile-strength cable than in previous performance basketball shoes.
"The new LeBron VII takes my signature line to a new level of innovation," said LeBron James. "As the demands of my game evolve and increase, Nike consistently designs and develops shoes helping drive my on-court success."
The Nike Air Max LeBron VII will be available globally beginning October 24, with a
suggested retail price of $160 USD.
"When designing the Nike Air Max LeBron VII, we envisioned a shoe that was both strong and comfortable," said Jason Petrie, Nike Footwear Designer. "We delivered a shoe that is a perfect combination of superior performance and luxurious style, embodying LeBron himself."
Comfort Revolution
Nike's first basketball-specific Nike Max 360 air sole is designed and engineered for the multi-directional movements of the modern basketball player. This basketball-specific air sole contains 80 percent more air than the previous full-length unit for ultimate comfort. The air sole is strategically contoured with a thinner forefoot and deeper heel placing cushioning where it is needed most.
Moving upward from the court floor, the insole and upper of the shoe match the mid-sole's innovation. The seamless integrated bootie not only makes for a comfortable ride with no irritation, but also provides the lockdown support basketball players covet. Nike Flywire technology, first introduced in the highly successful Nike Hyperdunk, provides support without adding unnecessary weight by integrating tensile fibers with a minimal use of materials. Its crisscross lineage not only provides basketball specific stability, but also creates a diamond pattern that LeBron has asked be integrated into his signature footwear and apparel lines each year.
Heritage
The Nike Air Max LeBron VII pays homage to the sport of basketball and reflects the personality of LeBron. On the outsole, five flex grooves represent the five players on the court while 23 stripes in the midsection represent LeBron's number. The outsole also features a 3D decoder key which, when the shoe is rotated, displays LeBron's credos - Passion, Fearless, Tradition, Community, Family, Loyalty - and other call-outs from his life.
Additionally, the seven Nike Flywire strands on the tongue of the shoe represents the Nike Air Max LeBron VII as the seventh shoe in the signature series. This same call-out is repeated with the V-shaped metal eyelets on the top of the shoe and Roman numeral II embossed directly underneath it.
Craftsmanship
The Nike Air Max LeBron VII is constructed with a full-grain leather upper and patent leather throughout, giving it a plush feel and luxurious aesthetic. The goal was to bring the highest quality detailing to LeBron's latest shoe, and this is evident throughout due to its superior design. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII was made for the basketball player who is looking for cushioning and strength with a sense of style.

for me I think this is a very historic day for sneakers. nike did it again.
Earlier today at the Ed Davis Community Center in Akron, Ohio, LeBron James and Nike Basketball designer Jason Petrie unveiled the latest signature sneaker for King James in front of media members as well as a live streaming global webcast.
Touted as the lightest signature shoe in the LeBron line yet (lighter than the Air Zoom Generation even?), the Air Max LeBron VII most prominently features two never-before-seen elements in James’ line: 360 Max Air and Flywire. The 360 differs from the previously used and Pebax cage-encased 360 Max Air bag found on the Air Max 360 BB, as worn by Amare Stoudemire, and the hope is that the tooling sits lower, offers better court feel and is also more responsive. Along the upper, Nike’s Flywire panelling plays a large role in offerings support in a lightweight package, and a gleaming patent leather rand makes up the perimeter of the shoe, wrapping fully around and serving as a support footbucket of sorts. Signature details include the ‘LJ23′ logo along the lateral heel, as well as the ‘VII’ touch to be found along the top molded lace grommets. You’ll find ‘King’ and ‘James’ welded at the bottom of the eyestay along the laces, ‘TWENTY’ and ‘THREE’ along the outsole toes as well, and also LeBron’s ‘L’ and ‘J’ tricep tattoos along the corresponding heels.
Our own Zac Dubasik was on the scene in Akron, and we’ll be updating you with more images and information on the latest James signature shortly. In terms of a release date, the Nike Air Max LeBron VII will be dropping October 24th with a retail price of $160.
What are your first impressions now that the Max LeBron VII has been officially unveiled? Feeling the departure towards the 360 Max Air bag? What colorways and materials are you hoping to see? Speak up and be heard!

With fake pics floating pretty much everywhere it’s hard to get any solid information regarding LeBron James’ seventh signature shoe. For all we do know it’s gonna be a 180 degree turnaround comparing to previous LBJ kicks. Things are not set in stone, but the LeBron VII will feature an improved 360 Max Air unit and various materials on the upper including Flywire or like in this case a mesh. Even the colorway of this sample version is new. Pics courtesy of SneakerVault exclusively at NikeLeBron.net. Enjoy these first photos presenting the actual Nike Air Max LeBron VII.
