For the LeBron 17, LeBron James asked Nike designer Jason Petrie and his team to create a product that would provide power and eliminate fear. Based on this directive, Petrie designed a shoe that features Air technology to protect LeBron's feet, allowing him to move faster.
LeBron 17: Unmatched Air technology
The Air technology takes a step further. The LeBron 17 combines a new Max Air unit in the heel with two Zoom Air pods in the forefoot for comfort and responsiveness. Additionally, the LeBron 17 features an innovative, ultra-lightweight Knitposite upper for unrestricted movement and maximum flexibility.
The Creation of LeBron 17
Absolute Power Without Compromises
The LeBron 17 are designed with LeBron's power and speed in mind, offering foot restraint and support for absolute dominance on the court. They feature a lightweight combination of knitted and thermally molded yarns that ensure a durable look and feel. The combined cushioning provides LeBron with impact support and high-response energy return needed for dynamic performance throughout the season.
Style and Functionality
Designed specifically for LeBron, the largest Max Air unit in the heel ever created by Nike Basketball absorbs more impact compared to previous designs. It offers unprecedented cushioning without sacrificing stability or comfort.
Take off and soar
Two large 15 mm Zoom Air units in the forefoot under the metatarsal provide fast, continuous high responsiveness for fast-paced action.
Flexible protection
Combining the customizable fit of Flyknit with the soft cushioning of Foamposite, the new Knitposite construction features a lightweight and snug upper with a hard shell in the right places, so you have nothing to fear. The wide collar with the classic tongue makes it easy to put on and take off the shoe, while also providing a comfortable and stable feel.
