In the midst of LeBron free agency talks, Playoffs predictions and discussion about the dismal recent history of the New York Knicks, a third colorway of the Air Max Lebron VII “Hardwood Classics” has surfaced online. Sure, we know that the blue, orange and white colorways were created to match the throwback Cavs uniforms, but it does seem as though Nike really enjoys the discussion and controversy these instantly generate. For now though, we’ll consider only this amazing pair of sneakers.
Nubuck wraps around the mudguard on these, immediately separating them from every AMLVII we’ve seen, save for Clark Kent’s “112” version. The whole upper is royal blue, and the panels surrounding the Flywire are also nubuck. The white Swoosh is outlined in orange and has been treated to the splatter treatment, which coincides nicely with the Max Air unit’s orange bubble and white splatters. Sadly, these will probably be only ever seen on the feet of LeBron, his friends or Nike employees, but for the moment we can enjoy this lone picture.
