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 Air Zoom 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.

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.

This special design is inspired by the bond between LeBron and his daughter, the apple of his eye. The upper is made of a luxurious textile with flowers and special LeBron details incorporated throughout.

We reinforced the lightweight mesh with a 360-degree zonal cabling system for optimal containment. We disguised it all by a premium, lightweight drapery for a cloaked finishing touch.

An Air Zoom unit in the heel and forefoot supports landing and gives you a propulsive feeling. We paired them with a soft, springy foam to help ensure a pillowy feel.

The dimensional mesh on the upper is durable and contained. Using lightweight materials, we striated the upper's venting to look like the veining of a shell, helping contain you during explosive movements. Zonal perforations in the sandwich mesh and ventilation on both sides provide breathability.

A top-loaded, strong plastic plate helps keep you steady and gives you more snap when taking off.
