LeBron’s carried the game for two decades. But what if we could help lighten the load? Enter the LeBron XXIII. It offers peak lightweight responsiveness thanks to springy, full-length ZoomX foam—perfect for the high speed demands of the modern game. This asymmetrical colorway celebrates when LeBron and Bronny suited up together not just at the same time—but as teammates with individual designs that honor The Chosen One and the 1 Who Chose. The Chosen One and The One That Chose The right shoe is all about LeBron, complete with his signature gold, as well as his “Chosen 1” icon on the heel, a nod to his storied career. The black-and-purple left shoe honors Bronny with his own "1 Who Chose" heel decal, symbolizing his individual path in the game. The upper pattern on both shoes is a mix of large crowns (saluting LeBron’s long-standing reign) and small crowns (signifying Bronny’s promise). Unreal Bounce The LeBron XXIII is the ultimate in lightweight responsiveness thanks to some of our best basketball technology. A full-length ZoomX drop-in midsole offers optimal bounce.
