In November 2009, the highly acclaimed NBA player, LeBron James, unveiled his latest basketball shoe, the Nike Air Max LeBron 7 NFW 'Red Carpet', in a memorable event held at Madison Square Garden. This momentous occasion coincided with the Cleveland Cavaliers' triumphant win against the New York Knicks, adding to the excitement surrounding the sneaker's debut. Unlike its predecessors, the Red Carpet model introduced striking design changes, such as woven textile overlays and an intricately embroidered Nike Swoosh, forsaking the Flywire upper. Additionally, to ensure optimal comfort during games, a visible Air unit was ingeniously incorporated into the shoe, offering a cushioned and supportive experience for players stepping onto the court.
