On Friday August 7th Nike and LeBron officially unveiled the Nike Air Max LeBron VII in LeBron's hometown of Akron, Ohio. MaZe of KixandtheCity.com was on hand at the Nike/LeBron Media Summit to take in the entire Nike/LeBron experience. KATC will have a lot more from the Summit and the LeBron VII in the upcoming days, but first, we'll take a very detailed look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII.
Designed by Nike Senior Designer Jason Petrie, the Nike Air Max LeBron VII marks a new era in Nike/LeBron as Petrie and Nike took LeBron's line in a completely new direction. Previously known for it's heavy weight and use of Nike Zoom, the Nike Air Max LeBron VII sheds several ounces through the use of Nike Flywire and for the first time in six years, the Nike LeBron VII features Max Air instead of Zoom.
Read on for a detailed breakdown of the technology in the Air Max LeBron VII as well detailed look that features over 20 pics.

It introduces Nike’s first basketball-specific Max Air 360 unit, with 80 percent more air than the previous full-length unit, providing maximum impact protection, stability and cushioned comfort. Nike designers have delivered a strong, durable shoe for ultimate performance.

they look sick, im getting these!
REAL NICE SHOE HERE MOST DEF GONNA COPPPPP THESE SNEAKERS. .
im glad you came back...i was so worried i dialed 91 and was so ready to dial the other 1
nice pics yo
imma bout to nut
Liking the colorway!
These will be my first pair of Lebrons =)
Yes, we have a winner
Lateral side looks okay...medial side is straight fugly.
FIRE
gotta cop these
Fresh i hope they drop the all black/black/red sole
those look promising
If the Flywire weren't red, it wouldn't look so busy and it'd look better. Not ALPHAPROJECT's best work, but not his worst, either.
THE BEST PAIR SO FAR!!!!!!!!!!
nice but too much going on.....
love the laces and LJ tats on the back of the shoe..
overall love the shoes, dont like the colorway.
All the hype surrounding these is working. Nice.
Yo These Are Sick, Im Really interested in seeing the other colorways they planning to drop.
more mashups? the brons were the only shoe with some originality, guess they have totally given up. DOA
I agree they look like sharkleys, Kobes, and air max combined
Ummmm Idk yet, I have to see another colorway. The silver accent logo on the rear outside and the silver v shape near the top lace holes are not needed. The patent leather is a lil off, but it's the best lebron sig shoe yet.
they still look bulky and hard on your feet
best lebron ever IMO
if u do not like these, than you do not like yo momma
It's funny how LeBron's best sneaker looks a lot like... KOBE'S!!!
In all seriousness they are kinda nice tho.
I'm not a Lebron shoe fan but these are okay. I like the other colorway (teal,black/white) better. Not likely to buy either.
As an older sneakerhead there is only one #23 that matters. Not taking anything for from James though. He does his thing.
I wanna hate these .... I cant!
good $
Dam the new Air Max Lebron 7 is siiiiiiiick!!!! Best one so far. I have all Lebron shoes Zoom Lebron 1-6,Lebron Soldier 1-3. By far this is the best one. When does it come out in So Cali?
These go harddd. Im definitely copping these for basketball.
sick
everybody here must be brand new to this!. they look like the a weaker version of the shox vc II x hypermax x sharkley (which is a rip off of the ndestruct and jordan 11) x kobe x uptempo which ='s wack status. designers should try designing something!! anything!!!! lol i will hoops n my purple suede tk's holla
oooooh yea forgot about the jordan iv flight-esque writing on the tongue WTF
WAY better than the six.
Nice looking shoes! The only concern I have is how much they will weigh! I used to buy all the max air basketball shoes and they were heavy. I've got the hyperdunks now and I love how light and comfortable they are. If these are fairly light I'll get a pair. They look nicely put together and very cool. I love the flywire and shiny black. Reminds me of the Jordan 11's
very nice im coppin copped da six and now seven nike ur impressing me with lebron kix keep it up good job!!!
Fly. anyone got the official weight?
Verdict is not out yet. I'm messin' with the SVSM MTAG D.C.'s this week on court. We'll see if they hold up in a shoot around. So far they feel comfortable on and light. Suppport is so so up top, but I usually wear lows or trainers for ballin'. So it's a non-issue. It has a wide toe box for my canoe's. Where Nike usually have narrow toe box's in most of their shoes these will appeal to the flipper variety.
Hate livin' in the past, but Nike SHOULD re-invent the Flight Go LWP with flywire and full Zoom tech. That would be the lightest and might be the most craved ball shoe of all-time!
they are sweet but i think the should of have an outer piece on the side like the hyperdunks for maximum traction and more lateral movement
jordan knockoffs!!
These r tha best L's yet. (Don't hate.) Gotta get these. Hope they have more colorways. I really need these in orange/wht/blk!!!!!!!!
yo i got mine nyc edition so sick
Well these are too fresh, and will be gettin these on release day. In my opinion these are the best LeBrons on paper, in person I don't know let. I'm a air max guy. I know everyone still sayin the 4 was better lookin and are # 1 on everyone list. These are # 1 on my list, follow by the 4,3,2,1,6,5.
