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 Zoom Air 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. This special design celebrates the Tahitian pearl, with its natural colors, highly coveted nature and wide range of spectacular hues. 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. 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. Tahitian Flair Velvet-like synthetic on the upper has a distinctive sheen and luster. The iridescent finish on the heel pulls from the Tahitian pearl’s remarkable color range. Soften the Rise A Zoom Air unit in the heel and forefoot supports landing and gives you a propulsive feeling. Stay Refreshed Dimensional mesh on the upper is durable and contained. Zonal perforations in the sandwich mesh and ventilation on both sides provide breathability. Steady and Sturdy A top-loaded, strong plastic plate helps keep you steady and gives you more snap when taking off.
