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.


Athlete Inspired Details:

  • "The Decision” was a seminal moment in LeBron’s career, eventually leading to the ultimate goal—a title. Gold hits throughout speak to that captured prize. The upper pattern comes equipped with split-in-half crowns, the symbol of a King undecided.

Lebron Xxiii Elite Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The attention to detail and quality of the Lebron Xxiii Elite is truly impressive. The packaging and intended experience of opening the shoes was unique, and the added pieces of the book and #6 charm further improved the experience. The shoes themselves are really neat. My favorite thing about them is all the small details that honor Lebron's legacy: the #6 embroidered on the inner edge of the shoe with the flames representing his time with the Miami Heat, his signature on the back of the shoe, and the small, gold pieces on either side of his signature noting "23 Best Ever." The overall design of the shoes is clean, and I enjoy the two-tone vibe. The quality of the Lebron Xxiii Elite is great as each stitch is in place, the soles provide great grip, and strong structure gives me good ankle support. I enjoy wearing them to play pickup and shoot around, but I do wish they were more comfortable. I have a difficult time getting them on due to the small foot opening. Additionally, there isn't much give from the midsole or insole causing me some discomfort in the arch of both my feet. I anticipate that with more use, I will wear them in, and they will become more comfortable. These shoes are the perfect collectible for any Lebron fan, but if you're looking for a comfortable and performance driven shoe to hoop in, I would try a different Nike basketball shoe.

Xxiii Elite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LeBron XXIII Elites are impressive from the time you open the box all the way to when you’re wearing the shoes. They are displayed well and opening the box was an experience in itself! You know you’re getting ready to put on a great choice for basketball shoes. They fit true to size and aren't overly heavy. I've been wearing them for a few weeks playing at least two games a weekend, and they're comfortable for the whole time. I only wear these basketball shoes during basketball games and from a comfort standpoint they're right on par with other basketball shoes I've worn. The thing I love most is that they fit well AND they look cool.

Way Too Big

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try these with the eye-catching, vibrant colorway. After putting them on, the first thing I realized is how big these run - a whole size bigger. I usually wear a 10.5 but I probably couldn’t used a 9.5. Not only do they run long, but also very wide. Aside from the sizing issue, they provided a lot of comfort and weren’t too heavy. They aren’t the lightest basketball shoe, but they also aren’t the heaviest. Just a heads up, these definitely come in with a break-in period. Pictured below for comparison are my P-6000s, also 10.5.

Lebron Xxiii Elite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For starters, this shoe is a visual show stopper. The bright pink immediately catches your eye and the way it works with the yellow is stunning. The gold details throughout the shoes truly make these an immediate favorite in my closet. The longer you look the more you notice. As for performance, they are durable, light and comfortable. The traction is great whether on brand new courts or worn in floors. I refuse to wear them out of the gym so I can’t speak for outdoor surfaces. They feel light on my feet but still supportive and durable. They have a nice bounce to them and the cushion really does absorb the shock better than most shoes I play in. While the flyknit upper is stylish, I do prefer a traditional tongue. The upper is a little tight around my ankle. I would love a little more give in the band but the material itself is comfortable.

Flashy Style With Solid Support

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes supported my ankle and foot really well and felt sturdy with good cushioning, so I was able to play comfortably. The fit felt secure and stable, which I liked a lot. Design-wise they look clean and a little flashy, so they definitely stand out on the court. The fabric and materials feel durable and built to last. My only downsides are that they’re a bit heavy, so I’m not sure I could sprint at my full potential in them, and they squeak a little when I walk. That might just mean they need to be broken in more especially because I feel like I have a narrow foot but it’s a tight fit, possibly because of the sock liner. Overall though, the support and comfort were the best parts for me.
