I am totally swagger jacking ijapino on his weekly jordan appreciation threads he did on the jordan 1-23 line. I enjoyed reading the posts, seeing the pics and all the info on the shoes as it braught back memories.
I know this may be very premature as lebron is only on his 8th signature shoe but I wanted to test this out to bring some of the lebron heads out and post some of their heat.

I will do a thread for each sig shoe each week and after the 7th week aka lebron 7 appreciation I will make 1 last thread for "other" lebrons such as soldiers, ambassadors, af1 lebrons and any other lebrons not numbered 1-7

Please help contribute by posting any pictures/videos news or information that pertains to the shoe topic that we are on.

Hope this thread is a success.


Intro: thanks to nikelebron.net

To be honest, who cares? I suppose a sizeable contingent at a certain Beaverton address does, but to the everyday baller it’s about hoop, not hype. If that’s your perspective you’re in the right place, because this review is firmly focused on the performance of the Air Zoom Generation. If you want to know about fashion go look at Vogue. If you want to know about financial implications go read the Wall Street Journal. If you want to know about on-court aptitude, keep your eyeballs rolling on down this page.

Before getting started, though, I want to send out my sincere thanks to Asad for the hookup on the extremely hard to find white/white – midnight navy – varsity crimson (aka 1st Game) colorway of the Air Zoom Generation. We wouldn’t have been able to bring you the photos you see here without him, so much love Asad!

Moving on to the review – all the hype around the Air Zoom Generation, including the overblown and over-reported tidbit that its design was inspired in part by James’ infamous Hummer H2, has overshadowed the fact that it is, on its own merits, an interesting shoe. It harks back to the old school to a degree I’ve never seen in an individually endorsed product from Nike. Historically, Nike’s endorsed (aka signature) shoes have been technological tours de force, embodying the state of the art in athletic footwear for their day. The shoes in the Air Jordan line are a great example of this, as are Penny Hardaway’s signature shoes from back in the day (including the wildly innovative Air Foamposite One), and Vince Carter’s current line of Shox-based shoes.
here are a few vids, I dont know how to embed sorry. somebody help!!














Here are my lebron azg. My 2nd favorite lebron shoe out of the line. Looking to obtain a pair of glorias and white all stars. I have svsm on the way!

Good post. I have trimmed down a bit, but I'll try to dig them out and take some pics. Still one of my favorite pairs out there. If I see any ROY's posted, I'm going to be pissed. That's "one of those pairs" that has just never come around for me.

NICE pic dannmann.

My story about these shoes, I was 16 years old and I believe it was december 20th, I was working at finish line and didn't think the shoes would sell fast, I came into work at 2 til 9 so I figured I could buy them then. I get in and my store was sold out in all sizes but 8-9.5. I was a size 11 at that time and ended up going to footlocker and paying retail since I slipped up at my store and culdnt get a discount. But I got a size 12 and wore them to work and for basketball season at my high school year for jv since those were our colors. After that I didnt wear no lebrons unless I had doubles lol I beat them pretty bac
