Nike LeBron 18 *First Look*

Yup no 18s. I think he’s having the same issue he had with previous models with the instability of these and lack of a true outrigger. I bet he will get his own PE version soon enough with more stability, but I’ve heard of friends who played in these and won’t again because of how bottom heavy and unstable they are in terms of rollover protection. I haven’t been able to actually play a game in them but for workouts on court they’re amazing - kinda sad if he shies away from yet another sig but we shall see!

Sometimes he's just marketing his product. If the Ambassador 13's need a boost in the Asia market, give em a game, move the needle a bit.

If this was an actual issue wouldn't he have dropped the shoe in the finals?

They are def bottom heavy. Comfortable yes. I’ve trained in them also and I love them.

FUGLY and now unstable/uncomfortable LMAO
 
So many similar features in the Lebron line since the 15’s (Knit, max cushion, height, no/small outrigger, etc) I think it’s safe to say this is the kind of shoe he prefers to play in.

I can see him wearing these once or twice again, of course the 8’s/18’s, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the 7’s make an occasional appearance as well.
 
I've heard of hate-watching someone on Youtube, or hate-listening to a podcast so the person can add more fuel to their hatred of the channel/pod, but who tf hate-views a forum thread?

Say your piece and move on.

that’s because he’s a Stan.

True, but each model has been tinkered with for him in some way, aside from maybe the 16s. The 17s had a lower volume air unit in the heel for his PEs, and I definitely remember him having issues with the 15s. The 16s were far more stable and I don’t think he had any alterations to any pairs. He’s already rolled his ankle what 2x and granted both seemed like they were unavoidable situations but maybe he’s superstitious haha? Idk just something to watch going forward. Someone brought up the point about the finals and it’s valid, but I think the past couple ankle issues might have him wanting to switch it up, or just marketing like previously mentioned as well. Did I hedge all possible takes haha?

There's a few of them in this thread. Everything is ugly. Everything is wack. They can't wait for the next model. But, they post in here all the time.
