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.
It is scheduled for August 7, 2026 at $210, in a size run spanning men's and women's from 3.5. Nike tags the shoe for basketball rather than lifestyle, so this is a performance model. At $210 it sits at the top of Nike's basketball pricing, which the ZoomX and carbon plate combination accounts for. The LeBron line has run for more than two decades as the brand's longest-standing basketball signature.
