POWERED UP. LeBron thrives when stakes are high and the pressure’s on. The LeBron 19 harnesses that energy with a locked-in fit and an updated cushioning system. The snug inner sleeve is pulled together by a sculpted overlay that the laces feed through to help prevent the foot from moving inside the shoe. Cushioned pods around the collar and tongue add comfort while reducing weight, giving players the secure feel and confidence to go all out when the game is on the line. Impact Absorption The retooled cushioning system combines 360o visible Max Air unit with a thick, responsive Zoom Air unit under the forefoot. The Max Air helps to dissipate impact forces, while the Zoom Air helps drive you down the court. The bottom of the shoe is designed to look like valves and tubes that form its inner workings. Lightweight Containment A full inner sleeve conforms to the foot for a snug, secure feel. The thin, transparent exterior layer is highly durable and lightweight to help reduce in-shoe movement. King of Control Inspired by LeBron's crown logo, a micro-engineered blade pattern on the rubber outsole adds multidirectional traction. Cushioned Comfort Pods embedded in the tongue and collar provide lightweight cushioning around the ankle and over the top of the foot.
