Daughter Driven 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. The shoe has other qualities inspired by an oyster shell. 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. Soften the Rise A Zoom Air unit in the heel and forefoot supports landing and gives you a propulsive feeling. Stay Refreshed The fabric on the upper is made of a dimensional mesh that’s durable and contained. Using lightweight materials, the upper’s venting is striated to look like the veining of a shell, helping contain you during explosive movements. Zonal perforations in the sandwich mesh and ventilation on both medial and lateral sides provide plenty of needed breathability. Steady and Sturdy A top-loaded strong plastic plate helps keep you steady and gives you a better snap when changing direction.
