LeBron and Nike have officially released our first look at the new LEBRON XVII kicks. The kicks feature the highest level of performance upgrades for The King. The new shoes feature the Highest-Volume Heel Max Air Unit in a LeBron Shoe to help absorb the shock of his explosive play. The LEBRON XVII combines lightweight Flyknit construction with heat-molded yarns that adds structure and color, which results in a durable, supportive and resists stretching material.
From a visual side the LEBRON XVII shifts his lion crest and the silhouette of him dunking from the heel onto the tongue, combining phrases and symbols like “I’m King,” “LJ” and “23.”
“We had ‘the blueprint’ in mind for the 17, and we started from the ground up on everything, whether that was the construction of the knit or the way we could protect him underfoot with Air bags. The silhouette was a way to reset the mark for LeBron, and futuristically explore how we could help his game with the best that Nike offers.”- Nike's Jason Petrie, designer of the LEBRON XVII
