The Collection 3.0: Air Max LeBron VII Artist Series Chicago

07 October 2009

Tags: lebron james, more than a game, the collection


The LeBron James More Than A Game Tour hit the ground running in Chicago. Two jam-packed days in a city with a summer like none other set the tone for a worldwide athlete tour unlike anything the world had ever seen before.

And beyond the movie premiere, interviews with the director, cast and crew and the Seward Park basketball-on-blacktop/music/food/NikeID-design-a-tee extravaganza set to the Chicago skyline, one intricate display marked a special place in the middle of the mob scene: Chicago native Jeff Zimmerman’s Artist Series Air Max LeBron VII trophy case.

Carrying a cache of large-scale murals backed by worldwide acclaim, Zimmerman lent his artistic brilliance to the next generation of The King’s signature shoe. Balancing his contemporary pop-culture design eye with the eloquence of Chicago’s ebb and flow, he took the art of accentuating everything LeBron brings to the table to an entirely different level.

The result: an expression of No. 23’s positive energy through color and motion.

Experience. Practice. Hard work. Chicago. From the city flag to its world-famous hot dog stands, Zimmerman certainly put his stamp on the Air Max LeBron VII.

Those are dope for real. It's so much meaning in the artwork. You probably would have to be a true Chicago native to understand everything on these shoes. Nike should release these! They would sell out easy!

No, unfortunatly you can't by the shoes now or ever. On the More than a game tour Lebron visited cities such as Chicago, Akron, Washington, New York, Beijing, Shanghai, Shengyang, London, Los Angeles, and Paris. And an artist from each country customized, and painted a lebron (like above) and then gave it to lebron for his own personal collection so unfortunatly they will never release. Maybe someday on ebay though...
