What’s more, the most attractive part is the silver-toned swooshes on the lateral sides of these low-cut pieces. Furthermore, the laces, eyelets, and tongue flaps are constructed with akin tints of pink. Ultimately, the thick-soled footwear is wrapped with solid pink sole units.

Explaining the evolution of cushioning in the LeBron shoe line, the official Nike website mentions,

“The evolution of cushioning in the LeBron line is testament to a long-term partnership that has spearheaded game-changing innovations in two formats of Nike Air: Zoom and Max. Together, these two facets of Air have worked either singularly or in tandem to support James's design and performance goals, and fundamentally shift how we consider basketball shoes.”
