OFFICIAL: NIKE AIR MAX LEBRON VII & PS (Post Season) CONGRATS TO LBJ AS 2010 MVP! AM7, PS, Low MVP!

[gottabdashoes]

Honestly, the only thing I'd jump hurdles for are those bred VII's and the near concord POP's. The rest of these are ehh.

 

[brandon3000]

If he wins the MVP.... If he wins the championship.... lol that'd all be nice being a cavs fan but as an avid sneakerhead... Did they celebrate Kobe's championship with a shoe release? I can't recall...

Good looks! Just bought a pair using bing cashbacck, free shipping, and no tax. I got them off of ST for 120 too..They don't ship em until 4-30 though.

 

[bryscooplaygrifhold]

So certain Niketowns have started putting the first GR release of the 7 on sale, but they are still full price with only an 8 and 18 available on NDC?  Am not sure I am following how that is specific to only select Niketowns.  Any further info would be appreciated.

In case you havent noticed the Air Max version is still widely available in every GR colorway and models are hitting outlets too. I dont think the PS will go this route mainly because I think it will appeal to the Hyper/Kobe crowd too.

Man, everyone caught up with those air max'.  It JUST looks good.  Doesn't do too well on the court compared to Zoom.  There really isn't a comparison there performance wise.  I don't understand either.  I guess people now days don't really appreciate a good basketball shoe because they're more concerned on what looks "fly".  With the PS/POP, people are getting a better performing, lighter, cheaper shoe but they HATE it just because it doesn't look as good without the air max bubbles at the bottom, smh.  There's a reason they're BASKETBALL shoes.  Maybe you guys should try and ball out in your shoes every once in awhile. 

These are definite cops for me, and for the other ballers out there.  These are GREAT shoes...

it doesn't just look good.  it's a good performance shoe too.  it doesn't stop lebron from leading the NBA in scoring.  also, i don't want to hear that not everyone is lebron's size.  they perform well for me too and i'm 6 foot, 190.  besides, it's the player, not the shoes.  hell, back in the day people balled in air jordan 1's.  some people make it sound like your putting cars on your feet.  THEY ARE SHOES.  i think today people are just spoiled with this whole performace thing.  these shoes aren't heavy, and people keep talking about lightness.  how light do you need your d@mn shoes.  it's not like they feel like you have ankle weights on.  if you want zoom, there are other shoes with zoom.  i just thought i was a nice change of pace to have an air max 7.....and i love the look AND performance.  that's just my 2 cents.  besides, the PS's are coming out with zoom so people who want them can have them and enjoy them.  i just know i won't be buying them.  like they say, it is what it is.  i'm happy for the people who want them.  i just know i'm done until the lebron VIII(unless some miracle happens and we get more air max 7's)comes out with air max...and i think zoom too. 

  

cosign some yall actin like the air max 7 is not in fact a basketball shoe lebron would probably win mvp playing in some cot damn griffeys the its his skills is what wins him mvp awards and games the shoes is a minor part of it

You might get your pair from ST sooner cause I ordered a pair of dunkmans from them which wasn't suppose to ship till the 3/30 but I got them a couple of weeks ago.

[yurcoffinormine]

HWC's, Kentucky's, CavFanatic's, Black/Pink's, SVSM aways, Black/Red's....WHERE ARE YOU?!?!  i need to switch to being a kobe fan and i won't have this problem.

THIS

it cant be overstated that the kobe line currently TRUMPS the lebron line... in terms of price, performance, colorways available, and just the overall execution of the releases for 2009's signature sneaks.  i know youre reading this Jason Petrie, you and nike need to step your freakn game up.  you have a lot to learn from the kobe line. almost every colorway sells out for the kobe V, and mmost lebrons sit...... Why??? give us the HOTTEST colorways, not the second tier colorways. i think Rock mentioned it a while ago, i hate going into the kobe thread with all those joyess m.f's... always anticipating an upcoming colorway, while we lebron heads anxiously wait for confirmation on the best colorways.  kobe V on the otherhand? they have a good 3-5 more c.w's lined up for after the season....... C.D/ that smurf color, etc etc... complete BS. We dont get no love???? 

unless there are going to be some big surprises for the end of the year, the lebron VII-- which looked so promising before will just end up like the rest of the lebron I-VI,
"Disappointing" and "Unmemorable"

i understand where your coming from... but what about the general public that is not so much into sneakers as your typical NT'er. I think thats the reason why they limit those bright colored shoes to HOH/limited numbers because they fear it wont do well with the general buyer. Im pretty sure the chaos Vs are sitting in footlockers everywhere because who outside of the sneaker culture/LA would buy that shoe? And i wonder if they hold back on some of these ideas in case of a retroing of the lebron line so they would have our generation who wanted them, and the next generation buyer.

but with that said they need to release cavfanatics and hwcs fassst.

you make some good points, but from following the kobe thread, it sounds like the Chaos are pretty much sold out, or will be so very soon.
i agree with you about the possible saving some colorways for "retro+" releases in the future, but you can only look so far into the future, when the general public outside of the sneaker enthusiasts community's overall sentiment is that the Lebron Vii is an average sneaker (nothing special). 

imo there are only 5: chinas, redcarpets, Ctks, akrons, dunkmans = hot colorways. as you can see there are more unreleased "HOT" colorways then there are released.........
bet, not only would we sneaker enthusiasts, but the general public would be in LOVE wiht the L.B VII if all those colorways were released in place of the actual c.ws...

imagine if these colorways released...........
1. Primetimes
2. Cavfantics
3. HWCs blue
4. 7/11
5. SVSM aways
6. Bret Hart VII (breast cancer)
7. UK's

instead of these.......
1. Navys
2. Christmas
3. Cool Grey
4. Grey Pack
5. Black outs
6. NFW white/red
7. Allstars

nuff said.

 

[93snakedfox]

1. Primetimes
2. Cavfantics
3. HWCs blue
4. 7/11
5. SVSM aways
6. Bret Hart VII (breast cancer)
7. UK's


Bet bread that if those (besides HWCs - GR or 1 of 1, they're hot) were general releases, they wouldn't be nearly as desirable.

 

[93snakedfox]

I can also see a huge uproar if the grey pack and the ASGs weren't released. It's also kinda wierd not to release a black-based shoe.

Long story, short...you can't please everyone.

 

[hotbutter]

you may be right, certain colorways are apart of the "release line" like blackouts and allstars but
im just trying to highlight the point that all the mentioned colorways are hotter IMO then all the released

and your wrong!! i could care less if they were "limited" or not. no beast

Thanks for the heads up. I hope I luck out like you and get them early. I cant wait to wear these.. I'm more hyped about them than I've been over any lebron shoe, so far.

   I dont know about the Air max Lebron VII being a GREAT performance shoe. I love the looks and love them for casual wear

The problem with the Air Max Lebron VII isnt weight, its's the responsiveness in the forefoot.

I kinda like the 360 Air Max cushioning in the heel but in the forefoot I 'd rather have Zoom. I feel like when I'm playing man to man defense against guys who trying to crossover etc, I feel a tad slower and uneasy reacting then in a Zoom based shoe like AJ XII or 2K4s because I dont get the springy response that Zoom gives you plus the LBJ VII air unit is a bit high off the ground too.

I hope for the VIII they release a Air Max Heel and Zoom Forefoot setup with a Flywire based upper.

I think the PS  version will be an improvement in the VIIs performance to most Basketball players.

Try NT Boston.....I called Chicago and it was like pulling teeth to get in touch with someone....I tried Boston and John Carlos (SA) was really helpful. I picked up a pair of blackouts...

I have a pair of the PS and will try them out this week. I still give the nod to the AM version for out of box comfort.
