Nike LeBron 7 ‘Fairfax’ colorway expected to release for first time later this year

The Nike LeBron 7 “Fairfax” PE that was originally created in 2009 for Los Angeles’ Fairfax High School and never released to the public is expected to drop later this year according to a report.

The Nike LeBron 7 “Fairfax” PE that was originally created in 2009 for Los Angeles’ Fairfax High School and never released to the public is expected to drop later this year according to a report from Sneaker Files. Fairfax is one of the few high schools that are sponsored by LeBron throughout the country.

The black version of this sneaker is known as the Fairfax “Away” while a white “Home” version was also created. The “Away” features a black colorway with red and yellow accents surrounding a red Swoosh. Red also fills the full-length Air unit and laces. Sole Collector notes that the image provided in the tweet below is of the original sneaker from 2009. Images of the retro version have not been made available as of yet.

The news of the previously unreleased “Fairfax” dropping comes on the heels of rumors surrounding another LeBron 7 sneaker hitting retail later this year as well. The “Hardwood Classic” Nike LeBron 7’s could also be available on a retro release later in 2020, although nothing has been officially confirmed by Nike at this point. As more news develops we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

P.J. Tucker pays homage to LeBron’s hometown by rocking Nike Zoom III ‘SVSM Aways’ against Cavs

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker rocks the Nike Zoom LeBron III ‘SVSM Away’ sneakers in Cleveland against Cavs.

P.J. Tucker is the NBA’s undisputed sneaker king. Part of the reason he earned that title is because of the method to his sneaker madness. Tonight, for example, he’s in Northeast Ohio to play the Cleveland Cavaliers. So, he’s paying homage to the birthplace of LeBron James by rocking Nike’s Zoom LeBron III SVSM Away’s.

Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School (SVSM) is located roughly 30 minutes south of where Tucker and his Houston Rockets will collide with the Cavs. The Zoom III’s he’s wearing are one of LeBron’s most sought-after shoes of all-time and feature the colorway of his alma mater.

This particular LeBron sneaker was originally released by Nike in 2005. The Zoom LeBron III was worn by James during his first season as an NBA All-Star with the Cavaliers. It has dropped in a number of other iconic colorways as well but for my money the SVSM design is the cleanest.

Tucker enters tonight’s matchup averaging 10 points and seven rebounds while shooting 43% from beyond the arc. The Rockets are 15-8 and currently fourth in the Western Conference. Cleveland, meanwhile, has a record of 5-18 and is the worst team in the NBA not named the Knicks.
