The History of LeBron James Basketball Shoes

 Nike Zoom Generation | 2003

---

Not many players have been able to come in the league with a shoe from Nike ready and waiting for them. With the Nike Zoom Generation, Nike used all the technology they had at hand to deliver the ultimate shoe for the “chosen one.”

Mainly inspired by the Hummer H2 LeBron’s mom got him in high school, the Zoom Generation represented the physical phenomenon that was LeBron perfectly. With unique features such as the molded mesh in the heel and midfoot to the large air ducts in the midfoot area for ventilation and weight reduction, the Zoom Generation also provided amazing cushioning. To help compliment Lebron’s freakish athleticism, Nike also equipped the shoe with an external heel counter and composite plate.

Nike Zoom LeBron II | 2004

Following the success of the Nike Air Zoom Generation and along with the proof that LeBron was the real thing, Nike decided to give the King a true signature shoe with the LeBron II. Starting with a ballistic mesh with leather overlays and a big thick strap for ankle support, the LeBron II made a statement that only the strong and tough should be wearing this shoe. Nike used the LeBron II to feature a new double stacked Zoom to make cushioning the 260lb monster that is LeBron and anyone else wearing these kicks, feel like their walking on air. Another fun fact was that since LeBron was too big and fast for regular herringbone designs, Nike created a special pattern made up of L’s and J’s to allow LeBron to leave his print on the game.
