That trend officially changes this year with the launch of the Nike LeBron VII Post Season model. The shoe sports a similarly shaped upper design to the Air Max LeBron VII with Flywire panels and patent leather rand support and packages it all with brand new tooling including the bring back of Zoom Air cushioning. Look for LeBron to wear these as the Cleveland Cavaliers enter the Playoffs. The Nike LeBron VII Post Season hits retail on March 27th. Continue reading for more detailed images of the shoe.

As we originally mentioned in this post, the new Air Jordan 2010 shoe will come furnished with a full-length, bottom-loaded Zoom Air unit. Typically, cushioning membranes are encased within a foam midsole. On Jordan Brand’s latest flagship shoe, the buffer is instead transfered below the midsole and directly above the outsole. In this case, using a translucent solid rubber base, the entire Zoom Air component can be visibly seen. Also added to this particular Black/University Blue colorway is the inclusion of a patent leather toe, as we’ve seen previous pairs using only tumbled leather. Check our past Air Jordan 2010 coverage. Continue reading for more detailed photos of the shoe.
