LeBron James’ first ever Retro release is coming soon, and prior to the launch we ge one last official look at the shoe.
The overall look is nearly identical to the OG model. Hopefully they will be identical as both Nike and Jordan Brand have been putting in little to no effort with the recent Retro releases. With these being “The King’s” first Retro, and production being limited, we assume these will be properly re-released and true to original form.
The original featured a leather upper, a Phylon midsole, heel Max Air, and forefoot Zoom Air. Fingers crossed that they feel the way they originally had so fans of the shoe aren’t disappointed.
If you were going to try and test your luck with the upcoming Nike Zoom Generation Retro then make sure you mark your calanders for January 25 and have $175 (plus tax depending where you live) handy.

It looks like Nike didn’t include their Nike Sphere technology in the liner like the original had. Nike stay skimping on tech.
Are you sure? The lining looks very similar, I don’t see how we could discern that from the pic but maybe you see something I do not.
Without the lining and the carbon fiber plate in the midfoot, these shoes are nothing. The leather was nothing special and neither was the cushioning. What made the shoe was the midfoot support and the plush feel around the ankle
Deconstruct them first then I’ll believe. Let me witness….
lol.
Do you think these will sit to clearance/outlet prices? I heard when it first released it sat on shelves (except the Wheats). In my humble opinion (Rich)..this silo looks great and durable for casual wear. So do you think it hit clearance price or should I jump on it for $175….
What do you mean by (Rich)?
Its hard to say since this is the first time we’re getting LeBron retros. But considering his main line hasn’t sold all that well despite the success he’s had I would bet on these hitting clearance shelves.
The wheats sat, too, I got mine for $80 at Foot Action. The First Game blew out (limited) and the white/black/red did decent since it was the first color.
It depends how many they make this time but given the recent production standards I wouldn’t pay retail for much of anything.
175……
People aren’t buying the current stuff. They think we’re going to buy the old stuff missing pieces for $175???
Bruh, I stay clear of drugs but the Nike execs…maybe not so much.
175 is a joke. The Lebron 14 will be around the same price. Also I thought these had double stacked zoom in the heal, not air? I never owned a pair so I might be wrong.
Heel Air (encapsulated), forefoot Zoom. That was the setup. The question here is carbon fiber or not.
So what’s the over/under that Nike screws up this shoe as well? Nightwing, ever consider a betting line? lolololol
Man $175 smh
LMFAO!
That is all.
I have a bad feeling that the Zoom LeBron 2 will have smaller air bags and cost at least $180.
