Last time around, LeBron flipped the script on his shoe game as only the King can. The encore is even better. The LeBron XXI has a cabling system that works with Zoom Air cushioning and a light, low-to-the-ground design, giving you agile fluidity and explosiveness without excess weight. Created for your ascent and the next generation of hoopers, it’s ideal for Bron-like open-floor attacks and rising toward the rim when the game’s pace turns up. Daughter Driven LeBron is the shield for his daughter, who helped the King grow as a man and softened him as a dad. He feels the need to protect her always, the same way an oyster shelters a pearl to reach its full potential. Exposed construction on the side of the heel gives a shell-like appearance. The perforated foam tongue is quilted, also imitating a shell’s appearance and providing a plush feel. Fresh Look Freshwater pearls are bright, rich in tone and alluring to the naked eye. The leather exterior speaks to the freshwater's glamour and protective nature of the pearl. Soften the Rise A Zoom Air unit in the heel and forefoot supports landing and gives you a propulsive feeling. Stay Refreshed Dimensional mesh on the upper is durable and contained. Zonal perforations in the sandwich mesh and ventilation on both sides provide breathability. Steady and Sturdy A top-loaded, strong plastic plate helps keep you steady and gives you more snap when taking off.

Traction was the best feature of the shoe, it was amazing. The fit was an improvement from my point of view compared to the Lebron XX, I didn’t have cramping in my feet when trying to break them in. Cushioning is amazing as well, felt very bouncy.

Fit is exceptional and the shoe still breathes. Great cushion and not excessively rigid. Size is slightly roomier than other Nikes, mostly in the toe, but I still got a half size up over my normal shoe size and it’s perfect for me.

Over all comfort and materials are definitely better than LeBron that last few LeBron models. (11-20) However, they do run a little small so I had to exchange them for a size 11.5. Hopefully they don’t mess these up with bad colorways like they’ve done with the last few models (18-20) I’ll definitely be buying at least 2 more pairs!

I love how these new shoes perform. Raising the lace holes higher on the top of the shoes seems to give the shoe a better lockdown on your foot. However, my only issue with this shoe is the tongue. It is heavily padded but the stitching around it is very rigid and smashes into the top of my ankle. So, if my shoe is laced tight, it causes my ankles to get sore very quickly. Then your only option is to loosen the laces to keep the tongue off your upper ankle, which then results in the shoe laces constantly untying themselves since they are so thick. These laces constantly untie easliy.
The shoe is very comfortable. It’s got good cushion, good support, good grip. My only complaint is the tongue is very hard and kind of digs into the ankle area. I’m sure it’ll get better has they get broken in and a thicker sock will probably fix the issue. Other than that, I love the look of these shoes and love the feel of them.
My son wears these to play club volleyball. He has them on all day during tournaments and his feet still feel great. Other shoes he's worn caused his fit to hurt after half a day.
Absolutely beautiful. Glad they maintained the same shoe technology but reinvented the look. It also goes with the Laker colorway, I'm also aiming for the Melon colorway.
My son had recently gotten into Basketball. He's been doing REALLY good in school and being good so I decided to do something nice for him and get him these Lebron James shoes. He messaged me half way through the day that people were asking him if they were fake, asking him how'd he get them?, and other kids were SOOOOO jealous. I felt like a GOD, like a KING... Like LEBRON !!!My son was ON TOP OF THE WORLD ! He said he had better jump and such swifter movement he was so impressed. He told me he'd saved $650 from working hard at his job and said, "Dad, can you get me another pair of shoes?" to which I asked why. He said, "These shoes are amazing Dad. Thank You SO much! If these shoes tear or something I'm going to need another pair."We shared a laugh and I told ... MoreMy son had recently gotten into Basketball.

Like most LeBrons, these are super comfortable. Colorway looks even better in person. Make sure you go up a half size, as they run a little bit tight.
