Akron-Inspired Sole The multidirectional traction pattern is a map of Akron—an ode to LeBron's roots and the city he continues to pour into.

It provides energy return for fast and responsive cornering and offers a flexible court feel that moves naturally with your foot. A top-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel adds cushioning.
