Even 15 years into his career, LeBron James keeps refreshing his tool set. Nike designer Jason Petrie reflects that in every new edition of the King's signature sneaker, and the Nike LeBron 16 keeps that tradition alive. Nike evolved the upper with Battle Knit 2.0, an update to the scalloped knit that debuted on the LeBron 15. It's designed to reduce layers, increase tensile strength, and contain the force generated by the most dominant player in the game. Lower collar allows you and LBJ more free movement. Gusseted leather tongue allows easy entry and off-court style options. Refined Max Air unit in the outsole adds stability to cushioning. LeBron logo on the tongue for visible branding.
