1 month after wearing Pros / Cons of Nike Lebron 15
news.nike.com/...
“The LeBron 15 has a brand new air unit, a combination of Air Max and Zoom, formed for incredible transition, really great impact protection and a lightweight ride. It’s all the things you would expect out of Zoom Air with the comfort and protection of Air Max.”
“We always want the overall vibe of LeBron’s shoe to be aggressive, stylish, modern and classic. Flyknit, with its texture and dimension, defined the aesthetic from the get-go. We let that organic nature of the knit take us to that really aggressive diamond chainmail type of look.”
This new iteration of Flyknit, Nike BattleKnit, is built specifically for LeBron. He needed something more than what knit uppers, to date, could provide for him structurally and also in the way that he wanted it to come to life. The main benefits we were looking for were containment and strength, but we also needed the things that are great about Flyknit: fit, a dialed design and less waste.
With the knit in one material, one basically fabric part, we’re able to engineer the protection, stretch and performance specifications we want to have for each area of the shoe. It’s an all-in-one package that allows LeBron to feel locked down, feel protected and also be able to move freely to dictate the action on court and to respond and react when he needs.”
FOR THE UNBREAKABLE
The LeBron 15 Basketball Shoe features a new kind of Flyknit and a powerful combination of cushioning designed to meet the demands of explosive players like LeBron.
Locked-in Support
Brand-new BattleKnit-a type of Flyknit material designed specifically for LeBron-delivers stretchy support, ultra-lightweight flexibility, and a locked-in feel.
Exceptionally Responsive Cushioning
This is the first time both Nike Zoom Air and Max Air have been used in a basketball shoe. The combination helps soften hard landings and enable quick moves for powerful players.
Seamless Fit
A full inner-sleeve offers a secure, sock-like fit. And a high-stretch collar provides flexible support around your ankle. The collar also lets you get the shoe on and off easily.
More Details
· Ultralight, strong Flywire cables add support
· Foam midsole provides lightweight, resilient cushioning
· Rubber outsole offers durable, multi-surface traction
· Shown: Dark Atomic Teal/Team Red/Muted Bronze/Ale Brown
· Style: 897648-300
Pros
Battleknit + Zoom Air + Air Max = Oh yeah
Comfort
Cushion is legit.
Similar to the Adidas Boost ATR, more support
Looks good on / off court
Price is $185 for great build and Tech
Fit tts
Cons
Maybe too snug for some
No detached tongue if you prefer that style
Not as many options for upper colors and theme with knit upper
Lebron still seen switching to older models or soldiers.
Lack of collabs / hype / Limited colorways
Nike Basketball needs to make a full recovery, very down market.
No Xmas lebron, themed packs are dead
forced themes are not easily able to see the story, feels more of a gimmick.
Open Questions:
Will Nike have an Elite version?
What would you want next on this model?
Do you like the Lebron 15?

[@CroutonsRawk]

I absolutely love these shoes, as a pediatric nurse working in a surgical step down, these things have been a godsend and are comfortable through all 12+ hours of work. Totally agree with all the points!

[@rabarberellum1017]

What I like about the shoe is that they stoped putting a big/huge swoosh on it. Gives the shoe more style.

[@spiarilwitedinofox6250]

The 16’s have it sadly

[@BubbaJoe0018]

Is it me or is this color of these LeBron's starting to look 🔥

[@silentbutdeadly3466]

I hate lebrons but when I put my feet in these I was sold. Got two pair already. Super comfortable for a basketball shoe. I got a lot of Jordans but none are more comfortable than these lebrons. Honestly I been wearing them casually all day an they feel good

[@matttheknicksfan]

nike needs to retro the LBJ 8s, 9s and 10s already

[@dagakage]

Yes! I need a pair of non used, somewhat cheap LeBron 9 China’s

[@matttheknicksfan]

Me me Big boy i dont know what it is but i just dont like these "knit" shoes in comparison to whatever you call the old shoes material. these 15s are fire BUT i would take any and every LBJ 8-11 over them. same for KD's, the 10s are nice but the kd4 is 100× better

[@dagakage]

I want to see a Jordan melo m1.5 retro

[@matttheknicksfan]

Me me Big boy speaking of melo, did his line get discontinued? the new melos always drop on Christmas

[@smartguy9579]

Matt The Knicks Fan Yea Melo's line got discontinued

[@Farwellmp3]

1 year after wearing crocs

[@matthewtorkian9142]

the Lebron 15s are definitely one of the most comfortable basketball shoes out I have to agree with you but performance wise they are very high off the ground and the cushion is OD, overall amazing shoe to rock

[@kingwise8072]

best shoes I have. wear them everyday without taking care of them and there still new. I play basketball in them everyday. very comfortable and awesome style. I got the 15 BHM limited edition. there better than any of my Jordans by far

[@TranquilAura77]

For sure bro

[@kanye_stan9708]

This man said, "the combination between the battle knit, the ZOOM KNIT" 🤦🏼‍♂️😂. Still a great video tho, keep it up 🔥

[@heskicks]

hahaha oops, edit fail

[@ryantristani5091]

Hes Kicks lmao yeah. I was like "what the fuck" when you said that. So confused lol

[@55pillsbury]

Love ❤️ the lebron 15’s so comfortable I always walk outta work with these because I hate my work shoes 👞

[@zz-uq2ow]

Demon Samurai Hanzo lebron 15s are not for regular wear its for basketball

[@Walter2466]

n.w.a.g fool you can use it also to walk there isn"t a problem

[@konrad6995]

Will they wear out quickly if you walk with them outside?

[@nicholaspolen3418]

Konrad My Avoid Grass and running on concrete and they should be fine

[@b-matic1157]

Demon Samurai Hanzo how do they fit

[@J.LuxeInstallations]

So all the pros are related to the shoe and all the cons are related to the shoe line as a whole? You don't always need to talk about the shoe's place in sneaker history. Just say it's a nice shoe.

[@KevinTruong24]

Jay King well said. These cons are trash.

[@omgitsme435]

Don't watch then?

[@spankthatshank7568]

W-_-T Criticism is illegal now?

[@k33p1t100]

Got 3 pair of 15’s great shoe

[@shamusmurphy1031]

The Oreo colorway is 🔥

[@Michael-H23]

I loved the 15's definitely agree witht the lockdown con. I find i am changing my sneakers after 3 or 4 tames because the lockdown starts to hurt

[@AvengeBasketball]

Still my Fav LBJ shoes in 2023, wore it casually for 5 years until the airbag bloated for some reason and the middle sole dropped off.

[@itsmeValdo]

Best LeBron model yet! Compared to the LeBron 11s and 13s..wearing these sneakers feels like walking on clouds!

[@flxd_]

I love Boost! Its so comfortable and the sneakers look fire too imo. Eventhough theyre not hyped anymore I still love them. BUT these and especially the Kith collab look FIRE AF and if theyre as comfortable as everybody says I think I gotta try them out 🔥

[@rewade70]

I've had mine for 2 years Ashes & Black n Metallic Gold, Definitely worth buying.

[@alexmotts]

Lebron 12s were and still are the best ones of all his shoes

[@rickyyosua1662]

Hes, I reckon you should do Q&A videos!

[@slickeddy2000]

LeBron switches to the Solider Models because it proves that those shoes are a great cheaper alternative to the 180 plus models. Also there are no team LeBron athlete's. Also when retro new colorways of older models he puts his stamp of approval that the tech is still good. And turns new colorways into an of colorway because he played in them

[@sneakersxsosa1492]

I tried wearing my KD9 elite casually and my feet were hurting around the midway point of the laces. It seems that all modern basketball kicks are similar in that respect.

[@Tainomontana]

These are my favorite design since the 8’s

[@pjeung23]

"and yes i'll wash my hands after" lmaooo!!

[@heskicks]

pj eung lol

[@joaquinmendoza8561]

Best of 2017 brrr! Nike had the best 2years new innovation!

[@kidnazty]

Good vid again and as always very informative. BTW just watched a 5-minute ad just for you man! 😅

[@heskicks]

Kidnazty thanks! And you don’t need to do that ha ha, but sometimes I do find some of the ads pretty good actually LOL

[@saltyliciousss]

It`s slippery when using casually on most surfaces and dangerous when raining tho

[@rccharger21]

I normally wear a 10 but went with a 9.5 and they break in very well. I wear them casually in the Ghost colorway

[@SimplyLeah313]

king_ryan_james how long did it take to break them in? I just got mine today in my normal size but they're so narrow. I'm disappointed. I'm wondering if I should send them back and half size up.

[@hernanc940]

SimplyLeah I’ve got same thing right now, yours break out well ??

[@DaveTheRonin]

That's exactly what I bought them for is casual use. I should have waited but this will be my only pair unless I find them on sale in different colorways. Too many other shoes with adequate comfort for great deals. Everything I buy now is for comfort I don't buy anything bulky anymore, hardly any basketball shoes. Great overview video.

[@Tiger24kicks]

just picked up the blue and red color way, looking to pick up the wine colorway next

[@benmac4675]

Wanted to say great vid... thanks for helping the community out

[@TheYendor24]

Dude I agree I bought the BMG colorway that they dropped and I am not disappointed very dope shoe, these are my first lebrons since the 1s (I wasn’t a fan of the other models) so these really caught my eye. But I am surprised how comfy they are do casual use. Good video man.

[@01stum]

Always buy Nike/Jordan but have never brought Lebrons. But will be getting a pair of 15's love the look

[@Fureddo28]

Hes, you should have copped the Kith collab’. Man, these are fire! Definitely agreed that they should hype ‘em up. Great review!

[@jmsflora279]

Love that you do this!

[@echln3209]

Just ordered these 30 minutes ago in the Wolf Grey colourway. Its good to see that I made the right choice. It was these or the VaporMax MOC's

[@dongleek9856]

I love mine. . . All black with the gold swoop & shoe string with gold tip💪💪💪💪

[@sirkirb711]

This is fire.. wore only a few times. Still in the box.

[@Sain065]

These r designed for me coz i have a flat feet .. they just so comfortable

[@chrisl5324]

I'm not no hypebeast or anything so idc if it's hyped because to me the point of collecting sneakers is to buy what you like and not what others like. But I coped their fire I got the black and gold color way

[@felix_remmie6048]

Great video 👍

[@TheDundeal]

These will be super hyped

[@ghosty4140]

Hes: You can only do so many on this pattern of this shoe... Ronnie Fieg: Hold my beer.

[@Bertzcommodities]

Couldn’t find a pair of these in a size 12 anywhere in Orlando or Tampa malls , ended up buying the last size 12 of the new heights colorway

[@danimalman3]

They're releasing too many colorways nowadays. I'm starting to miss the small amount of colorways like having a: home colorway, away colorway, alternate colorway, and a limited tribute colorway like a high school/dunkman.

[@kdilla_2332]

Bro I like wearing these kicks casually too but how did you lace yours?

[@richardmiquel6779]

I personally can’t feel anything in the heel

[@peewee3030]

Been wanting those white and gold LBJ 12 elites, for a while. I want the pigalle elite 12's too

[@a.ffirmative]

damn look at him compresing that air unit

[@guccidonbuzzflightyear4440]

I wanna see hes kicks pull out a spin move one day

[@Maurice-il3sb]

I got the black and gold pair along with the four horsemen pair and they have that battle ready feel to them lol. Like u actually feel and think you’re a nba player imo

[@flxd_]

Did you wear only these for one month to make this Video? Instant like! Thinking about buying a pair and this video really helped me. Thank you 💪

[@owensimmons3882]

Love the shoe hopeful for new nike basketball shoes.Also they look dope!

[@jadenayala1281]

I love my lebron 15s. All black

[@Mmjacksom]

9's are the best lebrons hands down. Got 7 pairs

[@zentrocity7209]

Is the rubber durable for outdoor? And can you do a video like this on the kd 9 or 10 thanks :)

[@TaiWoodz]

I’ve noticed squeaking on my black and gold pair at the forefoot and toe box area and my BHM pair there’s squeaking around the midsole and heel. My Ashes colorway as seen here are quiet as kept.

[@lvst_nghtlonnie1877]

Your cons were deplorable SMH

[@LIFEWITHTHEJONESES1]

I got the same pair! Good buy my guy!

[@heskicks]

i ended up donating mine to my wifes coworkers son... great shoe tho!

[@AnonyMous-jl9zu]

Curry 4 or LeBron 15. ?

[@simonesguerra7043]

That max zoom technology is not new. We’ve seen it in the lebron 10’s years back although not segmented. Also this flavor of max zoom is used on the kd9 and kd10. Con you could have mentioned is that the max zoom unit makes your feet sit quite high and the lack of an outrigger makes the shoe unstable. Icymi, nike added an outrigger to lebron’s pairs to counter the instability. So another con would have been lebron’s PE are different from what the consumers get. Price is definitely a con. $185 is still too much. “Battleknit” is relabeled flyknit so am not buying that it’s new. Also the kd9 and kd10 also have flyknit, same max zoom tooling and priced at $150, and you can buy other colorways on sale as well.

[@arcausx7575]

You can actually rock these off the court

[@HotSpot51787]

Hey man I absolutely hate the extremely OD tight fit of these. I'm actually scared that this will cut my circulation and having to get both of my feet amputated. Yes it's that tight. If I wasn't strong enough I wouldn't even be able to put them on. I have a huge problem tho, because 1 of my arms and hands is messed up. Once I get them on I really don't want to take them back off. It's seriously an uncomfortable shoe!!!!!

[@joshuagray17]

Such a beautiful shoe

[@ishmaelgraham164]

The all black ones are for me

[@jasonyen123]

I thought LBJ 15 is collaborating with a bunch of designers and doing loads of throwback colourways?

[@adrieljiroful]

Yo Hes, your pants are always so sick. Where can I get some?

[@RaizoKira]

Looks like Yeezys if Kanye still with Nike. Wishing for a Fear of God x Yeezy Adidas collab though. Then Nike will do a Travis Scott x Off White Jordan collab. LOL

[@nicholasrobertson3105]

Got 6 pairs of soldier 11s and one pair of 15s by far the most comfortable shoes in this price range by far can'tget any other shoes they ruined all of them for me.

[@itsplaylex4444]

I have that exact colorway too I agree the LeBron 15 are good on the court and I wear them sometimes with normal clothes, if you see this comment @Hes Kicks what size shoe you wear or at least with those LeBrons I wear size 9

[@rpandocchi]

I got the hardwood classics (blue uppers & orange in the sole in the air unit) Lebron 15’s about a month ago. I have worn them 4 times so far and I have to say they are pretty comfortable at first. Because that tongue is attached and the fact that the whole upper is one piece. They are very tight fitting weather you tie the laces or not. What has been happening the past 2 out of the 4 times I’ve worn these. My toes start burning with pain after wearing them casually for about 3-5hrs straight. The only way I get relief after this sensation occurs is by taking them off for about 5-10mins wherever I’m currently at. This pain has even came on while at the mall, and I had to find somewhere to sit and take them off! This has never happened while wearing any other pairs of shoes. It has happened though while wearing rollerblades and ice skates. After it is all said and done I am willing to go through the pain just to wear these sick shoes for a few hours!! Has anyone else ever had this problem with the Lebron 15’s?

[@SimplyLeah313]

One Man Band I just got mine today but haven't worn them out yet. Only tried them on after working 12 hours and they're really tight. I'm thinking about going up a half size.

[@jb5398]

Wait I don't do performance reviews I am out

[@alial-zubaidi4701]

Is there any toe damage after few months? it seams that the toe section is soft and it will tear with time.

[@nick183ful]

Are going to do a jordan 32 review?

[@georgetown2180]

3:38 ZOOM KNIT?!?!

[@Rio-musictopic]

I got a blister on my foot from the lows

[@nouahlevi]

any of yall had problems with the zoom unit popping like the KD9? I want to pull the trigger and get these, but KD9s had me scarred so now i'm unsure.

[@NoShortage12]

Kinda looks like kd 10 but the heel is just different

[@OwenCasarella]

Doesn't the KD 6 Elite have the same cushion set up? Before these?

[@Goblinstar]

reminds me of the kd 9 elite

[@VaughnCamacho]

Tbh ill cop if they somehow make a miami colourway

[@killyndorio7718]

LeBron has been switching the the Soldier because he hurt his ankle prior to the season. The XV lacks ankle support

[@killyndorio7718]

He tweaked it early in the season too in the XV

[@krakapoww]

Yeah, flyknit is cool and all, but i wouldnt play ball with it. No structural integrity. Bet you a lot of kids are ruining theyre feet with dumb cloth shoes *cough* (yeezys) *cough*

[@LordeSwaggy]

Killyn Dorio it lacks lateral containment u mean

[@rabarberellum1017]

I also saw photo's of lebron's personal XV with a reinforced forefoot so he won't roll over

[@josipvrandecic8188]

In last 2 years i thorn ligamneta in both of my ankles and since then i where those ankle braces, it should be a good shoe to play in with that "additional" ankle support

[@lukalr9569]

Idk why people buy performance sneakers and then use it casually.

[@byrne5948]

LUKA LR because they look cool that's the only reason

[@DariousK1NG1]

That’s like saying ppl who aren’t serious runners shouldn’t wear running shoes.

[@alejandrocastroiv5352]

I wear it for comfort due to my flat foot

[@bread6235]

so by that logic, you should only wear slides if you don't run, play basketball, play tennis, play soccer, or skateboard?

[@b-matic1157]

how do they fit?

[@2300leakedtunez]

I got those

[@shenronvillanueva5655]

Can i wear it for cassual?

[@sonicsonic8172]

How is the sizing tho? Thx

[@airzone2332]

Lebron swaps his shoes a lot he sometimes does it during games when he isn't playing well.

[@basicdose.9872]

Fly. Knit. !!! Oh. Yaaaaaaaaah. !!!

[@dmdanmarvargas9563]

Giveaway LB15 please i can't afford to buy one of that💔

[@barrisoden]

I want those colors in a size 15. Is it possible??

[@adamborland8302]

Always early

[@lastshotjumpers7824]

Would you go a hafe size up for comfort?.

[@oliviahayman8905]

Y is there a “6” on the pull tag

[@jokerzai105]

u forgot to mention one more CON, its pretty slippery.

[@weesebowski8651]

What's the review for a 6'1" 260 guy. And is it wide foot ok?

[@robertk7569]

go up a half size

[@max2icyy746]

Jeans don’t look good with lebrons just in my opinion

[@chasemoreau2142]

I guess they proved ur styling/coloring critique wrong...

[@calemkaa2111]

185 😭😭 one thing I hate about my country currency is a bitch. A normal pair of lebron 15 goes for 350 Mann and we don’t have no Jordan’s anywhere

[@kinga9206]

These are cool

[@ariestv6806]

Im new at this channel
