LeBron’s carried the game for two decades. But what if we could help lighten the load? Enter the LeBron XXIII. It offers peak lightweight responsiveness thanks to springy, full-length ReactX 3.0 foam—perfect for the high speed demands of the modern game. “Grand Opening” takes its inspiration from LeBron’s highly publicized professional debut—and his first signature shoe that launched a long line of greatness.
