In 2010, to celebrate LeBron James’ second consecutive regular season MVP award, Nike unveiled the LEBRON 7 « MVP ». A sneaker true to the King’s technical requirements and presented in a colorway remininiscent of the club that propelled him to the rank of great NBA player : the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Today, 10 years after the release of this shoe, its return is announced. At the time this pair was distributed in a limited edition, not allowing many fans to cop it. The latter should be delighted because according to the latest information, this new LEBRON 7 « MVP » would strongly look like the pair of 2010.
The upper would be made of white leather with grey fleece side panels. We should find a Swoosh made of gold chenille fabric with burgundy embroidered edges, a nod to the Cavs’ logo and colours. In terms of detail, the words « Witness » and « History » would appear in gold yellow embroidery on the heel tab and the inscription MVP would stand out on the back of the shoe. Other elements in the same colours, such as the L23 crest on the heel or the laces, would complete the pair’s neat and harmonious style. The whole would be based on the classic midsole of LeBron’s 7th signature model : in foam with the Air unit present along the entire length of the sole, here appearing in red. To finalize the matching, the traditional rubber outsole, providing grip and resistance, would be two-tone gold and burgundy.
The NIKE LEBRON 7 « MVP » is expected to be available in June 2020 at selected retailers and on the Nike.com website, for a price of 200€.
