The 10th signature shoe of LeBron James is fast approaching retail. Nike officially unveils the LeBron X here, and on the feet of LeBron during Team USA’s gold medal Olympics victory.
As a signature ride and statement level product, there’s a lot to take in. Nike LeBron X reveals the first production use of a full-length, entirely visible Nike Zoom unit, Dynamic Flywire upper support, Hyperfuse body construction, and the premiere of Nike+ Basketball technology in a namesake shoe.
Here’s a little backstory on LeBron X from Nike:
Forged by time, heat and pressure, the diamond is a precious and unbreakable gemstone that provides design and metaphoric inspiration for the new LEBRON X. Worn by James in the final matchup on August 12, the LEBRON X is constructed for dynamic containment, impact protection, and responsiveness to assist one of the game’s most explosive players.

These are definitely the best LBJ sigs aesthetically. I didn’t think they would top the 7. When the 8s came out, it just felt like a step backwards to me. But these? These look incredible.
