LeBron 21

Melon tint

 

[Public Enemy]

Nah

The wires look very pronounced here. Curious if they are there purely for aesthetics

Oh **** didn't realize that was flywire in the forefoot. Hard to tell if it's flywire too up by the ankle - maybe not if there's a metal eyelet?

I think it’s the same just looped around a stronger eyelet.

Ribbed for who’s pleasure?

Who was it that told me these wouldn’t get dirty?

 

[vettez06]

A liar

 

[g-time]

I said they can be cleaned if that counts

 

[Cladyclad]

Nice and the 21's look like an updated Kobe to me, and not just because they're low tops.

Maybe it's just me.

Now if this is the color I’m 1000000% in

But every time I see these they look light as hell

 

[hennessy beach]

Saw them in person at the nike wbf

They look good. A nice evolution from the 20 and I think people would like them much more if these were the 20.

Materials are the best part to me. The blk/green pair is called “Tahitian”, not a dunkman.

Looks like they come standard with zoom cushioning and a severe ankle sprain.

No way should Nike have Lebron playing in lows.

 

[g-time]

Wut?? He played in lows all last year. This idea that lows are more prone to ankle injuries is false.

 

[hitman243]

I believe the severity of ankle sprains to be higher with lows based on the sprains I’ve had over the years. Can’t use nba players as a good example since they get taped up.

 

[Public Enemy]

But the poster referenced an NBA player playing in lows like that was a problem, so that indeed is our population for the purposes of this particiular discussion.

 

[g-time]

NBA players and plenty younger have been playing in lows for years. If they were truly a hazard, they wouldn’t be produced the way they are. Look at the number of lows out there for sale now.

 

[vettez06]

When was the last time an actual hightop was made and worn?

Hyperdunks, GT Jump 1, Lebron 19?

Most in the NBA don’t wear hightop shoes.

This makes me sad I can't believe LeBrons era in the NBA is coming to an end soon

 

[hitman243]

Who is nike gonna bank on going forward? Doesn’t seem like there is an heir apparent. Just more and more retros

I guess a combination of Vic, Book, KD, Sabrina, Ja, Luka, Giannis, Tatum, Zion, etc. The times themselves have produced decentralized networks and locuses of control. Kinda figures there would be a bunch of different stars

 

[Confessions of Fire]

This makes me sad I can't believe LeBrons era in the NBA is coming to an end soon

I feel like he's still got 3-4 more years left in him.

off topic but i remember playing in sheed air force 1's the first ones that were released and it felt like both my feet were in cast

So are all the colorways gonna have a pleather or plasticky upper? I’m hoping we get some woven uppers like the 20s…
