Everyone gets out of King James' way when he blitzes down court. The Nike LeBron 18 was designed to channel that force into defense-breaking power and provide the support necessary to minimize body stress. Nike's KnitPosite 2.0 technology is used in the upper, which keeps it light and breathable.

To ensure a secure, locked-in fit, the laces are connected through channels in the knit. The Max Air unit below the heel provides cushioning and absorbs impact. Below the Max Air unit is a full-length Zoom Air unit that runs from the forefoot up to the heel. This converts every step into an explosion of energy, which optimizes speed and responsiveness.

Nike LeBron 18 features:

• A padded, moldable collar protects the ankle during sharp turns and cuts.
• TPU mold heel counter for greater stability and on-court force
• Rubber outsole with multidirectional pattern for better traction and grip.
