Nike Air Zoom Generation Prototype – Black & White Wear Test »

The Nike Air Zoom Generation was LeBron James’ first signature shoe. Every time somebody asks LBJ about his favorite sneaker the answer is this “I think the first ones will always be my favorite,” Bron says. “Those are going to be classics, of course, because they’re my first shoe-just because it was the beginning of the whole thing, and something I always dreamed of when I was a kid-having a shoe with my name and initials on it. So the first one will always be the best.” With that said only a few of us know the AZG as we know and love it had [a different look] during the development period. While shots like [this] and [this] where the only source for this information several real photos have finally surfaced the Internet. What you see below is a prototype version of the Air Zoom Generation. It’s one of the Wear Test Samples. Notice how everything is different here… suede upper, the placement of the swoosh, the tongue and the outsole too. Check out all the photos after the break.
