Whether you're a dunk contest-like leaper or a below-the-rim wonder roaming the baseline, feel fast, low to the court and assured in the LeBron NXXT Gen. We specifically tailored it to meet the demands of today's fast-paced game, so that you can stay ahead of the opposition with your speed in all directions. Akron-Inspired Sole - The multidirectional traction pattern is a map of Akron-an ode to LeBron's roots and the city he continues to pour into. Smooth and Responsive - The large forefoot Air Zoom unit is curved to bend in multiple directions. It provides energy return for fast and responsive cornering and offers a flexible court feel that moves naturally with your foot. A top-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel adds cushioning. Enhanced Sensation - The foam in the midsole feels soft and smooth while helping keep you low to the ground and enhancing the sensation of court feel.
