NIKE Boy's Lebron 18 Nrg Basketball Shoe

Product Information

The best thing I can say about the traction is that it’s much more durable than last year [the Nike LeBron 17]. You’ve placed them on an unrealistic pedestal that they can’t actually live up to; meeting them will diminish them, and rob you of something special in your life.

With impact protection and grip being the shoe's strongest points, it is still not a complete performance beast. Obvious defects and imperfections are flagged and intercepted, while professional authenticators determine the legitimacy of each product and have their evaluations reviewed by a team before final approval. Heavy and highly cushioned, we definitely consider it a big boy shoe that narrows down its target audience. We found that the shoe's upper material feels very premium, has decent breathability, and flexes just fine.

I thought for sure when I put them on that they ran big, but was surprised that they actually fit pretty well and run true to size. There’s a TON of cushioning in the LeBron 18 – not only is there a full-length Zoom Air bag unit, there’s also a heel max air unit stacked on top of that.

The upper on the LeBron 18 mixes knitting from the 15 Battleknit, high-tenacity yarns from the 16 and TPU yarns from the 17. The shoe's impact protection is on another level and remains that way no matter how heavy the player is. If only there was an outrigger to make the base a little bit wider, the shoe would feel much more steady.On so many occasions I would make a hard cut, pick my foot up, and notice the side of my foot in the middle of the foot bed — and the other side of my shoe on the upper. Like Manu Ginobili, he’s a left-hander whose moves led him to a better career-shooting percentage than the Argentine himself.
