Nike LeBron X: As precious as diamond
The tenth Lebron James basketball shoes made quite a stir when it was released in 2012. Equipped with groundbreaking technologies, it satisfactorily delivers the following:
Maximum cushioning. A full length Zoom Air unit makes sure of a soft and uniformly responsive feel underfoot.
Seamless fit. A more streamlined fit is ensured by Flywire and the upper’s Hyperfuse construction.
Nike LeBron X Aesthetics
The 10th LeBron generally has the streamlined look of many Nike basketball shoes. It is set apart from the rest by the upper’s diamond-inspired detailing, which references the tenth anniversary of the Nike-LeBron James partnership. There are also embossed diamond shapes on the tongue.
Special Colorways of the LeBron X
LeBron James’s shoes have always referenced important elements or milestones in the star player’s life and career. Here are some of the most notable colorways of the LeBron 10:
USA Gold Medal, which is the same black-and-white iteration that LeBron wore during the 2012 Olympics. The Swoosh logo is bathed in gold (it was previously red) upon the colorway’s re-release after the Olympic win.
Floridians, which pays tribute to the Miami Heat.
Crown Jewel, which pays tribute to LeBron’s first NBA championship at the end of the 2011-2012 season.
