A second chicago shoe by LeBron. This kid might as well just sign up and rock the red and black..regardless, here's what the post says:
As a gift, this pair of Nike Air Max LeBron 7 customized by a Chicago artist named Jeff Zimmerman was presented to Lebron James at Nike’s grassroots activities in Chicago. Zimmermann has achieved national and international recognition for his large-scale murals featuring painted images of contemporary pop-culture and sensitively rendered portraits. His pop-culture references range from innocuous consumer products such as beer cans, hard candy rings, and high heeled shoes, to more symbolically-charged images like portraits of political figures. The artist’s background as a graphic designer explains his shrewd use of flashy and graphic forms. Zimmerman was inspired by James’ achievements on and off the court. He wanted the shoes to express LeBron’s positive energy through color and motion. To represent Chicago, Zimmerman wove in the Chicago city flag. For a bit of levity, Zimmerman added "a Chicago-style hot dog symbolizing the fun that amateurs have trying to be a ‘hot dog’ on the court." He included a worn-in Nike swoosh to represent the idea that "experience, plus practice and hard work, make us who we are."

Now that's hot.
And on a side note, all this talk on here about Lebron over the last few days and no one mentioned he was going to be at a park event in river north that I literally drove right by yesterday afternoon. Bron and Daley were there to promote this Nike Grassroots effort. Yeah, he was just shooting the shit and playing ball with anyone in the hood that showed up. How does this shit always happen without anyone knowing about it?
you're lucky it's August.
