Lebron 15

Featured last night for the first time, the LEBRON 15 is the most technically advanced shoe of LeBron James' career. The shoe, designed by Jason Petrie, features evolved Flyknit construction and an advanced cushioning system — both articulated for the greatest player in the world.

“This is my favorite shoe to date,” says James. “The performance benefits and sophisticated look make this shoe a force on and off the court.”

The Nike LeBron 15 is LeBron James' fifteenth signature basketball shoe. It was designed by Jason Petrie and features sock-like construction with a mix of new Flyknit upper with a cushioning unit that combines Max Air and Zoom Air.

Though the specific technology hasn’t been announced yet, the LeBron 15 sits on top of a Zoom midsole with visible Air units, a constant for James’ previous kicks. The new joints also have leather stripes on both the heel and the tongue and a knit upper.

The former captures our attention today as official images of the gracefully constructed Flyknit shoe are revealed. It’s clear that care and detail are among the shoe’s strongest qualities, apparent throughout the BattleKnit fabrication and the bolstered cushioning system that features not only Air Max but Zoom Air, too. There’s also the leather details at the tongue and heel, the properly placed Swoosh at the heel, and the speckled midsole tooling – all standing on their own in sartorial and nuanced capacity.
