Great!

The retro version of the Nike Air Max LeBron 7 performs just as well, if not, a little better than the original. Owners love the feel and comfort of the leather upper and full-length Max Air cushion. The shoe's Flywire technology also provides excellent lateral support and containment. All in all, the Air Max LeBron VII Retro is a good pick!
