LeBron 19 Basketball Shoes LeBron thrives when stakes are high and the pressure’s on. The LeBron 19 harnesses that energy with a locked-in fit and an updated cushioning system that you can see, giving players the secure feel and confidence to go all out when the game is on the line. This design celebrates his 18th straight NBA All-Star Game appearance, this time in the land he still calls home. Impact Absorption The retooled cushioning system combines visible Max Air with a thick, responsive Zoom Air unit under the forefoot. The Max Air helps to dissipate impact forces, while the Zoom Air helps drive you down the court. The bottom of the shoe is designed to look like valves and tubes that form its inner workings. Lightweight Containment A full inner sleeve conforms to the foot for a snug, secure feel. The thin, transparent exterior layer is highly durable and lightweight to keep you contained and help reduce in-shoe movement. King of Control The rubber outsole uses a micro-engineered blade pattern inspired by LeBron's crown logo to provide multidirectional traction. Cushioned Upper Pods embedded in the tongue and collar provide lightweight cushioning around the ankle and over the top of the foot. More Details Cushlon foam midsole is soft, stable and responsive. Flywire cables work with the laces to provide more support as you tighten them. LeBron's logo is visible through the bottom of the shoe.
