I won’t be able to look at myself in the mirror if I keep these “basketball shoes” these are not basketball shoes. This is essentially a driving moccasins. A shell with an insole, really? When an upper is going to be glued to an outsole, there is a good reason. The upper has no containment so they spread out and look like slippers, gluing tread directly to the upper, and providing a dead feeling insole must have the bean counters laughing with every order. The pictures sell the shoes, I have the ‘This Point Forward’ they’re gaudy, and NEED a proper outsole.

Bron’s 2020 title in The Bubble might have been the toughest of the four, considering the circumstances. But LeBron led as only he could and came out with another crown.

Packaging is a bit much. But the shoe is solid. Feels good and comfortable.

LeBron XXIII "Bubble Boy"
LeBron XXIII ‘Bubble Boy’
When the pandemic put the world on pause, the NBA’s ambitious solution was to create a closed ecosystem where the 2019-2020 season could be safely completed. The Bubble hosted some of the most uniquely pure basketball we’ve ever seen: no fans, no home-court advantage, no traditional distractions. With LeBron embracing leadership roles for the Lakers and as a public figure in a moment of uncertainty, he averaged 29.8 points, 11.8 boards, and 8.5 assists in a Finals victory over Miami. The unprecedented experience created another historical first: LeBron became the only player voted Finals MVP for three different teams.
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
