Nike LeBron 23 basketball shoes "Miami Twice"

LeBron James became a Nike athlete before playing in the NBA, so he was already wearing his first signature silhouette, the Air Zoom Generation, when he took to the court for his professional debut in 2003. Since then, the Nike LeBron has become one of the brand’s longest-running basketball shoe series and has accompanied The Chosen One throughout his record-breaking career. From NBA titles and Olympic gold medals to exhilarating All-Star performances and memorable MVP awards, the LeBron signature series has been there at every key landmark, providing King James with the most cutting-edge footwear innovations to support his powerful athleticism and incredible all-round skillset.

ZoomX foam: Nike’s premier, Pebax-based midsole foam is lightweight and high in energy return, offering elite-level responsiveness, shock absorption and comfort.

Cushlon 3.0 foam: Supercritical EVA foam that is lightweight, durable, well-cushioned and responsive. It is also created using an eco-friendly process for greater sustainability.

Nike Sphere: 3D-textured, lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric that effectively controls body temperature to maximise athletic performance during intense activity.

Crown Containment System: 360-degree footframe with an innovative shape based on LeBron’s iconic Crown logo that contains and stabilises the foot for firm support during high-force lateral movement.

Lightweight engineered jacquard textile upper incorporates high-quality, durable performance materials including mesh and premium leather.

Soft Nike Sphere fabric lines the interior, regulating temperature and contouring to the foot for increased comfort.

Sturdy lacing system incorporates internal midfoot webbing alongside a partially gusseted tongue to provide a snug, secure, locked-in fit.

360-degree Crown Containment System creates a high-sided, durable frame around the entire foot, offering outstanding lockdown alongside multi-directional stability and control without inhibiting flexibility.

Hard-wearing material of the Crown Containment System drops along the sides of the forefoot to allow natural flexion to occur.

Wide shape offers an accommodating fit.

Stiff, sturdy heel counter holds the back of the foot firmly in place, contributing to excellent all-round lockdown.

Decent collar padding provides soft comfort around the heel and ankle.

Dual layer of tongue padding eliminates lace pressure.

Full-length, drop-in ZoomX foam midsole is lightweight, plush and highly responsive, facilitating powerful jump shots and delivering excellent shock absorption on landing, particularly in the heel.

Cushlon 3.0 carrier increases durability while also smoothing out transitions and ensuring high levels of comfort and court-feel.

Firm carbon fibre midfoot plate improves torsional rigidity, stability and energy return for fast, high-intensity play.

Moderate heel-to-toe drop slightly elevates the heel for better comfort, support and Achilles protection while keeping the forefoot low for court feel and flexibility.

Dynamic wavebone tread pattern features wavy grip lines that bite into the court during quick cuts and sudden changes of speed, facilitating fast-paced, agile movement.

Tacky, durable rubber provides multi-directional traction and reliable longevity on hardwood surfaces.

Large cutout sections reduce weight and increase flexibility without sacrificing grip.

Forefoot outrigger enhances stability, especially when pushing off.

Drop-in midsole replaces traditional insole, allowing the foot to interact directly with the ZoomX foam for outstanding bounce and court feel.

Textured footbed prevents internal slippage.

Footbed shape is curved upwards at the edges to cradle and contain the foot.
