I'm basing it on first wear and walking around in them at the store. I like cushioning that I could feel right off the bat. I'm assumingthese VII's definitely need a break-period, which isn't acceptable to me if I were to pay $160 for them.Originally Posted by andfattoo
^Is that from the first wear or after several wears??

Relax and fall back dude. I know shoes. I didn't bash the VII but Full length zoom air > Air max anyday. Just go ask any serious hoopersthat know about shoes. Even Lebron said he like Zoom Air during the VI interview with Kicks magazine. Nike decided to take a new route with the Lebron linethis time and introduce the Air max because their Air Max technology for their basketball line is not as popular as before. Lebron is a versatile player thatcan play from the 1 to 5 spot so that give Nike a lot of designing option for his shoes. They can get him Lunar foam if they want to. But Bringing back Air Maxonto a flagship line like the Lebron line is definitely a marketing strategy. If the Air Max Lebron VII sells then most likely the Lebron VIII will have AirMax again. If the VII flop , then i can guarantee you that Zoom Air will return on the next model. As far as Lebron, Zoom air is good enough for his body type,weight and style of playOriginally Posted by ZombieJesus12

... how the in the hell do you think you know what's perfect for Bron? This maybe one of the stupidest things I've ever read about a signature shoe. I'm pretty sure he's involved in the development process and the switch to a max air cushioning is probably something he at the very least agreed on at some point. So why you think YOU know what's perfect for another man's feet is beyond me. Bonus point: Just go buy another Nike shoe. If you're so desperate for a zoom shoe with a Bron logo, get out the scissors.
@KenJi714 - see? Nice work backpedaling and making it about serious hoopers, but that wasn't what you said. What you said was Zoom is perfectfor Bron. And seeing as how you've never met the man, let alone designed a shoe for him, I called you out. Then ALPHAPROJECT came and said the exact samething. That makes you completely wrong.Originally Posted by ALPHAPROJECT
Well, actually, to clear all of this up, Max IS better for LeBron right now for one main reason- protection. The new airbag offers a level of engineered protection over the entire footstrike that zoom in its current configuration cannot offer. LeBron most definitely loves the new setup, otherwise he wouldn't wear it. Zoom has its place, and will be used when necessary, it is a great technology, but the cushioning it provides is vastly different than air max. Zoom has benefits max does not, and max has benefits that zoom does not, so they should be utilized in ways that serve the athlete's needs best in any given situation. Nike always innovates and looks for better solutions for its athletes, no way it would be on the floor if it wasnt player tested and approved...

Do I even play basketball?Fall back your own self, thinking I'm some collector. Here's how IN I'm trying to be - I've never bought a Jordan shoe or a Bron shoe. I didn't get any pairs of Kobe IV. I don't wear AF1s or Dunks. That sound like a collector to you?
Word, LeBron tears up his shoes, even with the double stacked VIs.Originally Posted by andfattoo
^bruh, im sorry but your opinion doesnt make any sense affter Alpha just came in and told us that Lebron agreed to wear air max AND he loves it. Why would you still think double stacked is perfect for him, on top of that....... hes looking for protection (sounds like impact protection) as of now. Dont get me wrong double stacked is great, but it doesnt offer as much impact protection as air max. And as a 260+ guy that frequently has his head rim-level, hes going to need all the impact protection hes gonna need cause that requires alot of force into the ground to be able to do that. Your joints will definitely take a toll during a 80+ game season, plus the playoffs. So i wouldnt say its too much cushioning for that man.
