Nike Zoom Air Max LeBron VII – Leaked Catalog Pictures »

We have been getting used to the new look of the next LeBron James signature shoe after seeing numerous fakes earlier this month. Now it’s time to make things semi-official. We learnt our lesson last year, when the anticipated Zoom Power got scrapped in favor of The Six. Either way, even if Nike decides to do it all over again, here’s a detailed look at LBJ’s 7th shoe from Nike. After the casual friendly ZLVI, it’s all back to basketball again. The LeBron VII features a Flywire/Leather upper and a full-sole Air Max unit, thus, it’s most likely to lose the Zoom prefix and become the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. Seventh shoe means it’s the final one before LeBron’s current contract with the Swoosh expires. New designer (Jason Petrie aka Alphaproject), new approach, new technology… we are anxious to see first test results. At this point it sounds very promising. Three New colorways after the jump.

Breaking News: Shaq to Join LeBron James in Cleveland »

headers shaq in cleveland Breaking News: Shaq to Join LeBron James in Cleveland

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns have come to an agreement on a blockbuster trade that sends Shaquille O’Neal to Cleveland to team with LeBron James, according to sources. The deal has been agreed to in principle and is expected to be finalized Thursday, according to sources. Cleveland will send Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to Phoenix for the future Hall of Famer. Sources said the Suns will also receive the 46th pick in Thursday’s NBA draft and $500,000. The trade gives the Cavs a player they’ve coveted since February. With center Zydrunas Ilgauskas starting to break down, adding Shaq to the roster gives them a dominant force in the middle. The Cavs were obviously unhappy with their ability to defend Dwight Howard in the playoffs and bringing Shaq into the fold should help. O’Neal averaged 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last season and made his 15th All-Star game. Source: ESPN.
