Nike LeBron 23

[pharaohrache]

Oh yeah, I see it. Another winner in my eyes while switching up the design language and tech. I’m really feeling this model, color ways will improve for sure, we’ll get at least 3-4 GOOD ones.

Lucky for us we’re long past the era of only having 4 color ways looking forward to any Lakers colors (if any), Miami, and Cleveland. This seems to the the fourth color way in that scan sheet that was leaked earlier, funny how of the five colorways, they show us the “crazy” one whereas the other four look solid. I like the swoosh placement though and the fact that it’ll change depending on the colorway.

Edit: Very curious on the tech aspect, I’ve enjoyed both LeBron’s prior with drop-in’s so I’m hoping these are a step forward. Maybe ZoomX drop-in with top/bottom loaded Zoom? Or Cushlon? Anything but React honestly.

Drop in midsole basically eliminates the folks who wear orthotics pretty much correct?

Essentially. Like a drop in for a drop in

That hideous color scheme will undoubtedly be the first limited drop in some hair brain marketed oatmeal campaign

I wonder what happened to that elaborate heal portion they were supposed to have

 

[ventureblake]

My goodness I love them

I can get down with them just hope they bring some good materials and good colors.

I confirmed again that this pair is a prototype, instead of actual Bron 23

I noticed that was out the window when they first posted those blacked out samples

I'm right there with you

I need these yesterday. That gold color way..... Yeah, what's the date? That needs to be the first launch. Gold Medal vibes. Wish he would do some Elite IX/X color like combos on his sigs (Red Miami Finals pairs), it's too perfect for a Laker color up (Purple with Gold Swoosh).

Gold Medal 23's?

The best part of the crown logo built into the shoe is the opportunity for contrast. It should look good on tv and like a Lebron shoe.

idk about all the weird patterns and materials on the upper but the silhouette overall looks incredible

 

[Dr.BlasterCombo]

Looks slightly better without the swoosh in the back but the shape just looks odd. 20’s are still the best shoe of this new Bron era

 

[karatekickz23]

I think this is the Lux pair that's $250

 

[g-time]

These are solid. Just need good colorways.

Just watched the actual vid Bron posted. The different color hues off that gold pair are crazy

I'll agree... For now. Still don't know what these have in store and with it being the 23 alone I have faith in this model. Possibilities are CRAZY. What will definitely shoot my hopes/expectations down is if these fail the court test. Then I don't care what color way they release.

XX is a classic IMO. Perfectly blended aesthetics and performance. Number 1 Bron hands down.
