The Nike LeBron XXII athletic basketball shoes features saddle wings that offer midfoot stability and heel and forefoot Air Zoom units. The forefoot Air Zoom unit is curved to bend in multiple directions, which provides energy return for fast and responsive cornering and offers a flexible court feel that moves naturally with your foot. A bottom-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel adds cushioning and support. It also features a plastic plate in the midsole and wing-shaped pieces on both sides. The responsive foam in the midsole feels soft and smooth while keeping you low to the ground and enhancing the sensation of court feel. It has a multidirectional traction pattern and lace up fastening.
