If you recall, just a few days ago we showed you an all black Air Max Lebron VII. At the time the post was published no official release date was available. We have no been informed that the sneakers will officially be releasing in December. Do to the entirely black finish on the Lebron 7 many have dubbed this version the Phantom, a nod to the all black Rolls-Royce Phantom Lebron James has. To added a little bit of depth to the all black shoes the leather toebox gives way to black suede trim surrounding the panels of flywire on the upper. The gold lace holders and Lebron 23 medallion seen in previous pictures are no longer displayed in these updated photos. Instead the gold has been swapped for bare metal.

Watch for the all black Nike Air Max Lebron VII ‘Phantom’ to hit FootLocker, House of Hoops and other select retailers on December 17th, 2009. Click here to check out more detailed photos of the sneakers.
