LeBron’s carried the game for two decades. But what if we could help lighten the load? Enter the LeBron XXIII. It offers peak lightweight responsiveness thanks to springy, full-length ZoomX foam—perfect for the high speed demands of the modern game. “Best in Class” takes you back to Draft Night 2003, when LeBron heard his name called first in the city that never sleeps.

New York, New York

In a superstar-filled draft class it was LeBron who shook the commissioner’s hand first, kickstarting a 23-year run of sovereignty. This rich red design is regal from heel to toe and takes its cues from the wine-colored cap Bron donned as he walked across the stage. The upper sports a graffiti-like graphic of New York’s unmistakable skyline with crowns throughout. And, naturally, there is an apple decal on the heel with a crown-shaped bite taken out of it.

Unreal Bounce

The LeBron XXIII is the ultimate in lightweight responsiveness thanks to some of our best basketball technology. A full-length ZoomX drop-in midsole offers optimal bounce. And, a carbon fiber plate helps keep your foot stable when making sudden movements while helping add a bit of speed.

Stay Sturdy

Whether you're attacking the paint or applying perimeter pressure, the innovative, crown-shaped containment system will help you stay locked in when on the move and holding your ground.

Light Work

With an engineered jacquard and premium bootie lining, the LeBron XXIII is the ultimate in lightweight luxury, so you can get to your spots and keep your cuts razor sharp.

Quick Moves

A sticky, squeaky multi-directional traction pattern offers you regal court feel, you’ll stay a step ahead of all pretenders to the throne.

    Love these kicks they are very comfortable and hug your feet just right i own 20 pairs of Lebron shoes but these are my favorite.

    They look good, I get a lot of compliments from friends and strangers. I joke that I’ll click my heels together 3 times and get to where I’m going right away. They do need to get broken in. After about 5-7 days of wearing them, I’m still doing that but they are getting better.

    The presentation to this years LeBrons was superb. I’ve been buying LeBron’s since the 13s and this shoe by far tops them all in presentation and style. Overall great shoe I just think you need to go up a half size in order to get the right fit.

LeBron XXIII ‘Best In Class’

Draft night is rife with intrigue, rumors, and surprises. But there was no drama at the top of the 2003 NBA Draft — it was a foregone conclusion that the Cleveland Cavaliers would use the number one pick on the local teenager who had become the most anticipated prospect in modern basketball history. The deal was sealed when commissioner David Stern made the announcement from the podium in New York City, calling LeBron to the stage in an iconic all-white suit. The first five picks of the stacked 2003 NBA Draft unearthed four future Hall of Famers, but only one king.

Fit For A King

The ultimate in lightweight containment and twitchy responsiveness, the LeBron XXIII is built to shift the balance of power.

King Shift

Designed for the King himself, the LeBron XXIII matches the modern game’s demands for versatility, twitchiness, and playing with pace. With full-length ZoomX and a carbon fiber shank for torsional support, the shoe is constructed for peak responsiveness. Stay one step ahead.

Move In Lockstep

The LeBron XXIII features an innovative containment system that includes a curved midfoot crown to maintain stability on the move and when holding your ground. Keep your regal bearing.
