It has always come across my mind whether the era of leather signature shoes has come to an end or not, especially with the Lebron. It has been since the Lebron 8 that we have seen a majority of the releases come with leather uppers. With the lebron 9-12 all being made out of mesh or other leather alternatives (excluding EXTs), do you think there will ever be another Lebron primarily out of leather? Let me know down below.

I think about this a lot too. Which is a bummer for real. Cause I don't think leather shoes will ever come back. My hope is leather can be mixed with knits or synthetics at least.

agreed but i doubt it will be possible. leather is just such a heavy material compared to flyknit and hyperfuse. plus the other bad thing is that with the more and more we use knits and other **** to make the uppers, the uglier and more basic uppers start to look. just look at the kd 8
