They’re not durable? can you post a pic of them after they were tested?

Kobe IV’s-I stick to the court, sometimes too well, and are so light and cushy I forget that I have them on.
Brons VII-Look cool, but feel like I’m wearing boots when compared to the Kobe IV’s.

had a slide into this coz no doubt this is the best design yet on the LeBron series after the III but again the zoom air to airmax was the big difference.unfortunately, if you’re less than 200lbs,you won’t get the best out of em airmax cushion bags unlike the zoom air whose response is for all positions.profile is a bit stiff and off the ground and very remarkable si the breathability.i have a hyperize and the comfort and breathability is way to top the 7. i wonder why the designer failed to add vents if not added perforations to the shoe maybe incorporating it with the segmented diamonds of the flywire.what’s best with this shoe is the ankle lockdown.it went close by par with the jordan series when it comes to this aspect with just a lacing system without needing straps whatsoever.traction is good most on hardwood but i think this would be eaten on the blacktop.that has always been the downside when you cushion with airmax coz you have to use gumlike compound with it.moving forward, maybe Nike can incorporate adding lunarlite and xdr in one shoe to answer both comfort and durability.i’d still give it 8 out of 10.2pts more for breathability and durability and these could have been perfect

Ive got the LJ VII two months ago..
Bought it based on the reviews of websites like this one…
I have to confess that at first it felt awesome…
But after a few wears it feels a bit funny, not so stable and not confortable….
It feels tight around my toes, and a bit loose closer to the ankle… it is pretty hard to get a good fit, and I do not feel stable wearing it…
Around the ankle the metal brackets that make it look so cool, can hurt the protuberant ankle bone… Not to say that the leverage from those etals is different from the leverage of the other holes, producing imbalances…
The Grip is good oinly when the court is perfectly clean.. any sign of dust and it becomes slippery, more than the Air Jordans or adidas… maybe the lack of grooves…
Another aspect of the soles, at times, on full flight, it feels like I am stepping more with the middle of the feet, and not with the whole feet…
Right now I feel ripped off, and sad that Nike has overpromised and underdelivered…
Maybe its the best shoes for a top athlete like Lebron, but on my case, not a lot of benefits…
I can only go back to Air Jordans, or pray that one day ASICS can produce basketball shoes…

Ah..
Need to add… Yes they are heavy…

i got em and the leather is nicer then most nike’s but the quality in some places is bad. like the swoosh on mine is already peeling. also had to remove the v shaped eyelets cuz they rubbed on my ankle. not worth the $160.

I always used to wear zoom flight jason kidd since i'm pretty fast pointguard. Since I have to buy them through e bay or customized stuff in nike I wanted try little heavier shoe this time and protect my ankle more.
Boy I was wrong… I sprained my ankle severly with lebron 7 and it's so stiff and slow for me. My feet became more flat after that sprain(lost arch) and I really really regret spending 160 dolloar… It might be great shoe for some center or powerforward.

I pick up the white and varsity red ones a week ago and I was so excited to play them. When I put them on I was like hell yeah these are the S%!T, but when i got on the court the grip was horrible I was sliding every i could barely sprint I had to play flat footed most of the time so i would fall are look like an idiot. But the floor i was playing on wasnt the best i was pretty dusty. I will try them out on a better floor but for know im wearing my Hyperrize on that floor.

I bought the shoe when it came out after reading this performance review…… And I must say these are not good shoes for basketball . I don't know if it is because the air soles sit your foot so high off the ground(and the shoe base under feels so narrow) but the these shoes are prone to ankle sprains. I literally rolled my ankle (sometimes slight) almost every time i stepped on the court. Good thing the black in leather is a good looking shoe that I can wear casually, because I won't play ball in them anymore.
I ended up buying the Kobe V's as a result of the VII's failures and have been absolutely happy with them. In comparison: the VII's feel like wearing a boot compared to the light kobes. The Kobe V grip is X10 better on wood. The low cut shoe that people rave has no ankle support blew lebrons out. I havent rolled my ankle since.
In all, not a good bball shoe. At my gym I ask the few people who wear them and they say similar things…..but the court is def dominated by kobes and the hyperize. I wish I would have read a review like this before I thought this shoe would help my feet and not hurt them.

The rating says it all 91/100. This is an indication of how good a quality these shoes are. No matter the model, color, shape or if its a boot or shoe they are all of a standard that is comfortable and reasonably healthy for your feet.
