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 ZoomX foam—perfect for the high speed demands of the modern game. This asymmetrical colorway celebrates when LeBron and Bronny suited up together not just at the same time—but as teammates with individual designs that honor The Chosen One and the 1 Who Chose.

The black-and-purple left shoe honors Bronny with his own "1 Who Chose" heel decal, symbolizing his individual path in the game. The upper pattern on both shoes is a mix of large crowns (saluting LeBron’s long-standing reign) and small crowns (signifying Bronny’s promise).

Love The Look…. But…

Been wanting a pair of these but was hesitant. Decided to try the “Grand Opening” colorway. Absolutely love the look as it’s a beautiful shoe with amazing detail. But I buy basketball shoes for one reason. To play in. I’m a Kobe guy, but the new protro versions are not like the originals, and the best one is the 6 and Nike makes them impossible to buy, so I’m exploring different options. These have potential but my biggest issue is with the ridiculously bulky tongue with a rigid tubing around the top. It actually cut open my ankle and I haven’t been able to wear them since. I’m waiting for the scab to heal and I’ll try again with 2 pairs of socks and a looser snug on the laces. I’m curious to try the new release that has no tongue and a flyknit upper but they’re too pricey to risk being disappointed again and I don’t love the colors. I’ve found that Lebrons need some breaking in before they soften up so that’s what I’m hoping for.

Shoe Size

This review is based on the people who said the shoe hurt or felt stiff. This shoes are great for basketball and should be worn in a basketball court. Also, what I found helpful is sizing up. Go to fleet feet or any places that will measure your feet size and this will eliminate the pain you feel wearing a shoe two sizes smaller than you. My final advice is that our feet expand when we do a lot of movement like jumping, running or exercising in general, so the shoe that fit you snagged when you started are now hurting your feet. The solution is to always size up your activity shoes and wear your normal size on your everyday shoes.

Easily Scratched

As New, they look great, but two issues were found after wearing them a few times. For context, I use them only to play volleyball. After wearing them twice: 1) The purple material in the base of the shoes scratched very easily, 2) The green fabric got stained by the purple part when the shoes are stored together

Loos great, size fits perfect. They're just so stiff, & makes noise when I walk.
