Nike Lebron 21

Traction
The outsole pattern has been changed, just like the previous model, but the grip is high and there is a sense of stopping firmly forward, backward, left and right. It performs great, especially when playing in a clean gymnasium. However, it is easy to get dusty, so you need to wipe the sole frequently. The outsole is flat overall, and it is less likely to go out when turning, which is also an improvement from the previous model.

Running
The cushioning is as resilient as the previous model, and it is smooth to wear. In particular, the stability of the heel has been improved by changing the material of the midsole. The softness and stability of the cushioning are well balanced, making jump shots and stepping in easier and more stable.

Fit
The fit is narrow for an EP model, so caution is required for those with wide feet. The upper material has been thickened, giving it a luxurious feel, but the breathability is slightly inferior. The shoelaces are thick and easy to tie, and the shoes are easy to put on. You may feel pain on the sides at first, but by finding the right way to tie them, you will be able to wear them comfortably.

Overall 8.7/10
I think the LeBron 21 is a pair of shoes that combines luxury and performance that is well worth the 30,000 yen price. There have been significant improvements from the previous model, especially in terms of traction, cushioning, and fit, making it a reliable shoe for those looking for stability and support. Although the design has received mixed reviews, the functionality is almost flawless.
