Looking at the Upcoming LeBron VII

LeBron James’ signature kicks is getting a new look with its seventh stanza. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII departs the heavy combat boot build of previous LeBrons and goes a little lighter with some FlyWire.

In some aspects the LeBron VII reminds me of Vince Carter’s Nike Shox VC line (the VC 2 and VC 3), but instead of the Shox pillars, the new LeBrons features full length Air Max.

I always wondered why LeBron wanted such heavy sneakers throughout the season but changed to the lighter Soldiers during the Playoffs. Let’s see how starting a season with lighter kicks impacts James’ game.
