About the Nike LeBron XXIII "Hardwood Classics"

The 23rd shoe in Nike's LeBron James signature line, and the cushioning setup is the headline: a full-length ZoomX midsole, dropped in rather than fixed in place, which Nike credits for the shoe's bounce. Beneath it sits a carbon fiber plate, there for stability through hard cuts and to add a little propulsion. The containment system is shaped like a crown and wraps the foot to hold it in position. The upper is engineered jacquard over a padded bootie lining, perforated at the toes and sides for airflow, and the rubber outsole carries a multi-directional traction pattern. This colorway pairs Game Royal with Safety Orange and white.

Nike tags the shoe for basketball rather than lifestyle, so this is a performance model. The LeBron line has run for more than two decades as the brand's longest-standing basketball signature.
