NIKE ZOOM LEBRON VII First Pic – Grade School Sample »

Take this for what it’s worth. This is the first pic of the Zoom Lebron VII, in GS size. The adult version will say Max Lebron VII. Now I know this design might get scrapped, because we all remember what happened with the VI. I was the one to post the actual pic of the VI, but then was redesigned. So we’ll see what happens with this design which I like alot! Enjoy!! Color: 375793-001, Retail: $100 (adults will cost $160), Release date: 12/1.

Sneak Peek at the Nike Air Phantom – LeBron’s 7th Sig Shoe »

We have already mentioned the Air Phantom… which is supposed to be LeBron James’ seventh signature sneaker. Earlier this month we published a rendered image presenting the so called Nike Air Phantom. Let’s hope this is like last year’s Zoom Power and there will be an actual ZL7. Anyway this new image is somewhat coherent with the previous picture. All components, for example giant swoosh, ankle collar and Zoom-Power-esque midsole, are there too. Do you like the direction Nike is heading with this new L23 design? Courtesy of HoopChina.

Nike Air Phantom – LeBron’s Next Sig Shoe – Possible Image »

With news like this there’s not much to say, really. Here’s the first image showing the upcoming Air Phantom. There are a lot of similarities between these and Nike’s previous basketball sneakers. For example… Nike Zoom BB 2 (collar) and even the Zoom Power (bottom). Of course, there’s a huge Swoosh present, which seems to be a standard in Nike shoes recently. Here are the specs. What do you think? Do you like this design? Please let us know. Photo provided by NT member fresh83.

Nike Zoom LeBron VII (7) = Nike Air Phantom? First Update. »

There’s a big change coming with the seventh LeBron sneaker from Nike (sorry, no pics just yet). Fans will have to adjust to a completely new approach as the design doesn’t even mention the Zoom Air at this point! Just like last year there was the Zoom Power, which has transformed into the Zoom LeBron VI… this year the codename for LeBron James’ 7th installment is Air Phantom. The biggest change is the use of Flywire, and a new cushioning system called “Max 360″, which is going to be embedded in Phylon midsole. It is supposed to be an improved Max Air with a possible use of an additional Zoom Air unit somewhere inside. Of course everything is super-low, and super-light. Who knows… maybe they will be named Nike Zoom LeBron Max VII. Oh, by the way the MSRP will be $160, which would make it the most expensive LeBron sneaker ever. So far the closest was the ZLIV with the $150 price tag. The ZLV and the ZLVI were both $140. According to our sources, who have seen the shoe in person… it’s very VERY good. With The Six Nike played things safe, but the new design will be much more progressive. After all it might be the decision maker for The King whether to stay with Nike or not. His current contract expires next year. More info below, including a list of announced colorways…

• UPPER: Combination of full-grain leather and synthetic leathers. Ultra-lightweight Flywire technology for support and strength.
• MIDSOLE: Basketball specific 360 Air Max cushioning embedded in Phylon midsole.
• OUTSOLE: Solid rubber outsole with maximum traction herringbone pattern.
