Designed in collaboration with "The Shop," the community-connecting brand and conversation series, this special-edition LeBron XXI brings a fresh take to the King's signature shoe lineup. Everybody knows that fresh out-of-the-shop feeling after a clean-cut. When you put these on, that’s exactly how you’ll feel — a cut above. The smooth velour feel of the Metallic Gold upper, pairs well with its subtle ripple design, creating a visual nod to the velour durag. It’s important to always have the right kicks on your feet, and this shoe bridges the on-court and off-court gap with ease. It's loaded up with Zoom Air units in a low profile design. The Shop's logo graces the heel cradle, with custom insoles for a special homage to LeBron's community-first ambitions, beyond the game of basketball.
