Nike officially unveils the Nike LeBron 20 in celebration of LeBron’s 20th year with Nike and his 20th year in the NBA. The Nike LeBron 20 is the lightest edition of his signature sneaker yet. The LeBron 20 is the first performance shoe in LeBron’s signature line to debut as a low-top. While the shoe is embellished to celebrate James’ historic career, the LeBron 20 was designed to support basketball’s ever-changing pace and serve the next generation of hoopers. Intricate designs visually call out special moments in LeBron’s career while some of the most beloved features throughout his signature line integrated into the shoes technology.
The shoe’s main features include a lower profile, Zoom Air in the forefoot and the heel, and a carbon fiber midfoot shank. For underfoot cushioning, the forefoot has a top-loaded Air Zoom Turbo unit and the heel features a larger Zoom Air unit, measuring at 13 mm thickness, to help with impact protection. The synthetic-wrapped lateral guardrail helps secure the foot over the footbed. A multidirectional outsole pattern grips the floor. The heritage details throughout the shoe are nods to the past, but make no mistake: The performance build of the LeBron XX has its sights set on the next twenty years.
