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.”

a real craft.
Is all this Lebron Chicago stuff a tool to recruit him to the Bulls?
Don’t wonna knock dude, obviously an amazing artist, top of the game,…..
BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!?
Sure, put it on a wall, its Art, but even still I’m like WTF?!?!
Fidel Twenty??
Lotta Chicago dick sucking going on here too? Lebron cant go to the city MJ built!?!?
Knicks fine, but the Bulls??
I don’t get the whole bigger market BS we always hear anyways, why not stay in Cleveland??
Dudes already made like a half BILLION, is going to NY or a bigger market really going to make that big a difference?????
The World knows who he is, the sneaker game knows who he is, he’s got the cake, all thats left is a championship, is he really going to get that in New York or Chicago??
Its not like baseball and going to the Yankees, the only team in the league that even matters. The Knicks ain’t shit, the Bulls ain’t shit!
Do it for the game Lebron!!
The only reason I could see him going to a bigger market, is because it would be bigger and better for the whole league.
Having the marquee Christmas game be the 2 largest markets in the country in NY/LA, big time cake!
Maybe theres some underlying force, like David Stern, or ofcourse Nike telling him not to re-sign with the Cavs. Its better for more people for him in a big market than just himself, but still!
Don’t be a douche Lebron!
Hippo upchuck!
puff…yuck…pass…
GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Come on boyz…………..This shizz has nothin to do with Lebron comin to da Bulls. He’s out gettin paid by Nike. This is all about puttin the greatest Athlete on the planet, out there for the world to see all while Nike flys him and his boyz around the world. Who don’t want to be part of dat. Count me in…….
As far as the shoes go, they all about art.
It ain’t Fidel Twenty, the twenty is part of the shoe…………it’s Fidel Itas which means loyalty.
I think they fresh and they fly, and its a cool art piece. Gotta love the gold soles too………..cause you know that’s how LJ does it.
I be fixin to get me a chicago hotdog right now…………..I’m out!
