Nike LeBron VII (7) Low “Rumor Pack” – Russia (CSKA Moscow) »

The Nike LeBron VII Low Rumor Pack consists of four shoes representing four theoretical teams that might lure LeBron James for a contract this summer. We’ve profiled the Cleveland Browns and the New Jersey Nets colorways, but there are two more to go. This time let’s try to imagine King James leaving the NBA in order to net as much as $50 million a year in Europe. The Russian team CSKA Moscow and the Greek team Olympiacos have been considered as his possible employers. While several NBA players have left the league last summer for more lucrative contracts in Europe, no stars have done so. The shoe you see below implements CSKA Moscow’s native team colors although some say it could be a reference to the Los Angeles Clippers as well.

Nike Air Max LeBron VII Inspired by Air Jordan XI Alternate Version »

We still can’t get over the fact that Nike is not willing to release the so called Heroes Pack to public, but new pics just keep on coming. The pack contains of three shoes, each inspired by one of LeBron James’ childhood idols – Anfernee Hardaway, Deion Sanders, and Micheal Jordan. Seems like MJ’s pair, Air Jordan XI look-a-like, has at least two different versions. The first sample features a woven upper and a prominent white swoosh. The new version, which seems to be a Friends&Family PE, sports a mesh upper and red trimmed black swoosh. Which one do you think is better? It’s not like they’re releasing, but let’s have some fun with it. Continue reading for more photos.

The first colorway of the upcoming Nike LeBron VII P.S. is starting to pop up here and there, but the official release date for LBJ’s 2010 Playoff shoe is April 17th, 2010. The second version – POP – is available at eastbay.com for a back-order. The shipping date is 4/17 as well. The Playoff Pack edition costs $145, which is $5 more than the regular model. Last year, when Nike released the Zoom Soldier III POP, all Playoff make ups featured a special badge on the top of the tounge. This season, a triangular pattern on the upper seems to be the common ingredient for Nike’s 2010 Playoff sneakers. Take a closer look after the break.

Nike LeBron VII (7) Low “Rumor Pack” – New Jersey Nets »

Today at NLB, we continue our breakdown of the Nike LeBron VII Low RP (Rumor Pack). We profiled the Cleveland Browns version on Sunday, and this time we go east and focus on the New Jersey Nets inspired colorway. Some say that a bond between this generation’s most celebrated entertainer (Jay-Z) and athlete (LeBron James) should worry the Cleveland Cavaliers. After all, Jay-Z happens to be a part owner of the New Jersey Nets. LBJ seems to be really focused on getting his first NBA championship so a trade to the NJN, who have a chance to finish this season with the worst record in league’s history, wouldn’t be a wise choice. On the other end, the Nets make up of the Nike LeBron VII Low is a clean as they get. You can get them now at nikestore.com for $95. Thanks to our friend Randy for sending the pictures.

Big-Z Comes Back. Cavs Top Kings Behind LeBron’s 34-7-8. »

The Cleveland Cavaliers welcomed back its adored center – Zydrunas Ilgauskas – on Sunday, honoring the big man best known as “Z” throughout the Cavaliers’ 97-90 win over the undermanned Sacramento Kings. As LeBron James joked, “It was the second-most anticipated comeback besides Michael Jordan.” Four Cavaliers notched double-figures, led by LeBron’s 34 points. The reigning MVP went 13-for-22 from the floor, adding eight assists, seven boards and three steals. James netted 23 of his game-high 34 in the second half. Cleveland currently holds league’s best W-L record with 58-16, three games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers. Thier next four foes are Eastern Conference playoff teams, beginning with Wednesday’s night battle with the Bucks.

Nike LeBron VII (7) Low “Rumor Pack” – Cleveland Browns »

The Lows have been released a little earlier this year, but if you’re still on the fence we are here to help. It’s hard to tell anything based on catalog pictures, but fortunately providing nice photos is our specialty. For today, let’s take a closer look at the of the the shoes from the Rumor Pack. This Nike LeBron VII Low colorway represents the idea of LeBron James going professional football and playing for the Cleveland Browns. You might remember State Farm’s TV ad, which aired during last year’s Super Bowl, presenting LBJ on a gridiron. I must admit the Browns inspired shoes look very nice. It’s not something we usually get. Featuring Orange, Khaki and Brown they really stand out and it’s a very refreshing combo. They are available at nikestore.com. Shout out to RaNdZ4937.

Nike LeBron VII P.S. – Release Dates – 2x April, 1x May, 1x June »

Very soon the newest LeBron James shoe will hit the streets. Possibly as soon as tomorrow. While there are no exact release dates specified, the Nike LeBron VII P.S. (Post Season) is expected to drop on 3/27 at selected locations. The first colorway (Black/White/Red) is slated for April along with the POP version later that month. In May, the Black/Varsity Purple-Orion Blue will come out to public and while there are no photos available, it sounds like a Summit Lake Hornets version. Last but not least the White and Navy colorway is scheduled for June. I’ve been testing the PS’s on court and I must admit I haven’t been this excited since the Zoom LeBron V. It’s a pure performer. Although I am a little biased being a Zoom Air guy (yeah, Nike’s spoiled me), I think it’s one of those shoes that are suited for everybody. Just like the V. Enjoy the new batch of pics after the break.

• Black/White-Sport Red-Metallic Gold 407639-002 (April)
• White/Black-Sport Red 408758-101 (April)
• Black/Varsity Purple-Orion Blue 407639-001 (May)

Heroes Pack – Air Max LeBron VII Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway »

Apparently, LeBron James is a huge Anfernee Hardaway fan. He’s made that clear in one of his recent interviews. He’s even been seen sporting Penny’s kicks. I was very surprised hearing this for the first time, because I was like the biggest Penny fan growing up… constantly arguing with my brother about him being better than MJ. Too bad injuries had ended his career before he reached his prime. Now, it’s all about King James. Anyway, one of three (that we know of) shoes from LBJ’s Heroes Pack is an Air Max LeBron VII colorway inspired by the Air Max Penny I in classic Orlando Magic colors. After seeing all these hot kicks… all I can say is… please, Nike, release the shoes!!!
