Nike LeBron 23

I know not everyone can do this BUT I threw my old LBJ 11 drop-in midsole and let me tell you…

GAME CHANGER

- No lace pressure near my ankle
- No weird crunching sounds when I walk
- Heel doesn’t feel as clunky
- Shoe just feels way more smoother on foot (maybe a lower heel to toe drop?)

Of course this is all just from me walking around the house, but honestly I’ve gone from not really looking forward to wearing them while breaking in the shoe TO can’t wait to try them out on court. Maybe the ZoomX just needs to be compressed and broken in? IDK but if you guys have these and have any other drop-ins laying around you might want to try em and see how they feel…

Yes I know you shouldn’t HAVE to do this for any shoe but if you’re able give it a shot
 
The Elites fit great a half size down. Totally eliminates the heel slipping.

I'd be tempted to try a full size down, because there's still so much room in the toebox, but half size down is plenty snug for casual wear.
 
I’m gonna pass. I wore Miami twice yesterday and it ate my medial. I put on my ATC 2s and my ankle was yelling at me. I’m selling my Miami twice. I’ll admire HTK from a far. Way far.
 
I reckon the exchange rate plus delivery costs then possible customs taxes would mean these would cost $400+

People having trouble with ankle irritation should try the Elites. The collar seems like it was intentionally redesigned to resolve that issue.
