Nike Lebron VII PS

Nike basketball will soon launch the Lebron VII PS, well ahead of the mid April start of the NBA playoffs, does this say something about the performance of the original LBJ VII, or is this a further example of Nike basketball's aggressive push to make Lebron the face of the brand. Personally I think the Lebron VII is a great performance shoe and aesthetically pleasing as well, the thing I would change is the overall weight of the shoe, without having exact specs just yet, I would guess replacing the air bag, with a more embedded unit similar to the air zoom we have seen in past signature shoes will lower the weight of the shoe. Light weight sneakers are the dominant trend for basketball shoes these days, even big fellas are leaning toward lightweight performance shoes. The Playoff edition looks good but will it reach icon status, I think that has more to do with what Lebron James does in the shoe, if Cleveland bring home the chip, I'll go out on the limb and say this shoe will soar to new height and be coveted for years to come.
