Black Dunkman Nike Air Max LeBron VII (7) First Close Up »

There are some shoes that need no introduction. When you’re thinking LeBron James shoes… the Dunkman theme seems to be the most significant since it’s inspired by LBJ’s first slam dunk in the NBA. Even without any good photographs, the Black/Alt Green aka Black Dunkman AMLVII has been voted the second best colorway in our current AMLVII poll. Featuring a Mean Green outsole with a big Dunkman logo (similar to the ZLIV PE), a Patent Leather upper and 3M laces… the Dunkman Air Max LeBron VII is scheduled to drop in March. UPDATE Message from Jason Petrie about the change of the color for the Dunkman theme (via SC):

Sometimes you just gotta change the status quo guys… We were tired of grey/green, it was time for a fresh take!!! haha the dunkman is about the green, not the gray, and the story and reason behind using black made much more sense than just using gray for the sake of it being a real “dunkman” colorway… dunkman is about an attitude, the gray may be back at some point, but now is your chance to own something that is different from every other lebron shoe… And once you hear the story of why the shoe is black, you will see that grey would have made no sense… be happy you even got a dunkman color at all, it was a fight to get them in the line!
