And I don’t mean on the basketball court. The LeBron 19 was revealed earlier this week and will debut when James’ new movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy, premieres.
I must say, man, I do not like this shoe very much. Granted, we’re only seeing pictures now. And the on-foot look might be different. But this design feels…boring.
I’ll have more of my own thoughts in Monday’s newsletter, but what do you think of these joints, family? And are we calling them the Space Jams? Because I’m absolutely not.
I wonder what "success" looks like for those sneakers, or any pair of LeBrons. Nike's market share is so giant that they can chuck bricks up left and right, so do they give the athlete more creative control in the process? This is definitely a bad look (and shoe) but is it a black eye like those Curry 2's a couple years back?
Don't think the Space Jam name should be utilized for these .
But Sneakers just aren't the same now.
The amount of data and analysis that goes into Performance sneakers along with cutting edge technology makes it hard for sneakers to be viable on court yet fashionable/wearable off-court .
The timing for Jordan brand was perfect in regards to meeting the needs of the player and lifestyle materials to make a shoe that performs on court and is versatile off court.
Nowadays, I think its safe to say all performance basketball footwear is barely worn off court.
Finally! A shoe that might get Jokic out of those hyperdunks. After 2 years of complete ass (I know everyone hates the 16s too, but they’re my most comfortable gym shoe ever), boring seems like a big win.
Dude, they're awful. I've honestly never been much of a fan of the LeBron's but these are... next level bad. It doesn't help that the AJ 11 Space Jams are an all time banger of a shoe, but even if they weren't I'd still have all the negative feels about these Brons.
The tech looks very cool, but as you said the design is very boring. Aside from the cushion setup, nothing screams it's a premium signature shoe.
That's the thing about a LeBron shoe. The tech is always going to be there, but I wonder if that's why they seem to have so many design limitations.

I like the CW and that the silhouette looks like 8s & 9s which were great shoes but yeah otherwise it's $190 for zero premium materials on the midsole
