To clear this upfront, these are not pictures of an upcoming new colorway of New Air Max LeBron VII.
They were handed to LeBron as a gift by Jeff Zimmerman in Chicago. Jeff Zimmerman, is a Chicago based artist known for his large scale murals and portraits.
With this re-worked Nike Air Max LeBron VII, he captured several things like LeBrons positive energy, the city of Chicago and the idea of “experience, plus practice and hard work, make us who we are” into one piece of Sneaker-Art.
The kicks feature an eclectic mix of details: stars on the toe box, LeBron's arm holding a ball on the right and a hot dog on the left toe box and black and white combined laces just to name a few.
