Masterpiece

Grabbed The Dreams & Nightmares Colorway To Complete The Collection. These Are A Work Of Art.

Good

I got the masked menace colorway, 🔥. The cushion is a little underwhelming considering it is a drop in. Overall pretty good

Squeak

The shoe looks great and feels good but, they squeak.

Wasn’t Durable For Play

First time playing in the shoes and the bottom sole started falling apart on me. Glue was coming undone causing tread to fall off.

I love the shoes they feel amazing on the court. Appreciate you guys

Love These They Run A Half Size Big

Played ball in these multiple times great court feel. Cushion is almost as good as the Jordan 40s traction is better though. The sock helps a lot. THEY RUN A HALF SIZE BIG!!!

Comfort, Style , Swag

“ shut up dribble”. Love unpacking this purchase, lots swag . Most comfortable shoes

Very Wide

At the getting them, I wanted to return them immediately I like more slimmer footwear packaging was better than the sneaker

Great looking shoe but overall not a good basketball shoe

Great Soes

I'm excited to get all the LeBron 23 shoes to add to my colle5

Disappointed

Did not live up to the hype. Had to return 2 pairs of the masked menace because the sole kept coming unglued. Both pairs were worn for only 2 practices each before the sole came unglued. Not what I’d expect for a shoe at this price point.

Lebron's

After having the Witness VI that fit great, I thought I'd try these. They were too tight so I exchanged for AE's

Amazing Detail, Gorgeous Shoe….but…

I bought these to play basketball. Been eyeing a pair to try for a while but didn’t love the colorways. These are probably the nicest looking one of the bunch. My only problem with these is the unnecessarily bulky tongue with a stiff tubing around the edge. I wore them once to play and it cut open my ankle and haven’t been able to wear them since. Very disappointing for such an expensive purchase

Fits But Squeaks

Love the shoes when i first got it. They fit my feet perfectly but as i wore them through the day became very comfortable and they squeak when i walked in them. Super disappointed

Trashed!

Got these Bubble Boys for my daughter. After one use they were no longer shiny “chrome” looking. We got them in January, it’s now April and they are broken down. Threads busted, ripping, laces are all messed up. My daughter is 11, she’s not super hard on shoes so it’s shocking these are as trashed as they are.
