THE FIRST EVER LEBRON SHOE IS BACK! Nike Zoom Generation “First Game” (2023)

#nike #lebronjames #sneakers
In this video we talk about the Nike Zoom Generation “First Game” (2023), LeBron James’ first signature shoe with Nike.
This shoe was first released back in 2003, in LeBron’s NBA debut. 20 years later, the traction and cushioning are still decent for its age compared to many modern basketball shoes today. A good amount of heel compression, excellent stability and good comfort. Just keep in mind that they’re going to be a little bit heavy and not as breathable given the leather upper, if you do plan on playing in these.
Let me know your thoughts on this year’s Nike Zoom Generation in the comments! Is this one of the best LeBron shoes ever?

Is this one of the most iconic LeBron’s ever?

[@amp.Cimbom]

Definitelyyy

[@GMC115]

It is 👌

[@shoeit6357]

naw! soldier 10 fr the reverse sweep2016! just iconic tho. . . .performance wise, shitty

[@jonasmalabonga6559]

I owned two pairs of these way back 2003. One is the white/black colorway and the other one was the black/white colorway. I was not able to cop this white/red colorway as they were released with limited quantities here in the Philippines. I find these great performers although by today’s sneaker standards they’re a bit on the heavy side. For me performance wise they were great. Even the retro pair I bought back in 2017 was great. I plan to cop this colorway as I was no able to get one back then.

[@heat_collector8698]

Recently added the Grey colorway to the collection - so happy that they brought these back!

I bought purple joint, so clean look great.

Damn. Dope.🔥🔥🔥

[@JC-se8mi]

Good memories when they first came out. I think the design was inspired by the Hummer H2 that was gifted to him by his mom while he was in HA. As a poor student, I couldn’t afford these. I’d like to try to get my hands on these nowadays!

[@TommyLiu4]

Oh interesting! I didn’t know that. Yup good thing that they brought these classics back, so I got to own my first pair too 😃

[@samlee458]

aesthetically, i was never a fan of earlier lebrons. started liking them from lebron 7s 😅. still only like a few models like 7, 8, 9, 10.

[@darbyclark14]

Are these true to size? I wear a 10.5 so what size should I get if I order online? I'm 0-2 work buying shoes online and them both being too big even when buying my size.

[@jchung1506]

I just got a pair this afternoon. Gonna hoop in them on Monday. Looking forward to it.

[@TommyLiu4]

Nice 👍👍

[@francoalvarez8710]

how's the traction?

[@davidrinmawia2959]

Nice 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@Platelunchexpress]

Wish it was full length zoom strobe or turbo

[@eazymoney6158]

I just want these , the Kobe 1 and the KD 12 once I get those three my sneaker addiction might finally meet its end

[@gabrielveloro]

What’s up Tommy can we get a vid of your top 5 or 10 fav hoop shoes of all-time

[@TommyLiu4]

Sup! I’ll keep that in mind, thanks 🙏😃

[@seouleshoes]

You expected the grip to not perform well? Haha na, I'm biased personally but feel the Mid 2000s, through probably 2013 were some of best overall hoop shoes out (full length cushion, solid support, good materials, durable traction for indoor/outdoor, etc.) I know these were from 03, but if these weren't a solid performer I doubt they would've retroed them haha.

[@timl998]

Lebron 10s look the best

[@amanda29941]

Where do you get this

[@CoachMax12]

Genuine leather upper or substitute?

[@siddhvikmittal6806]

Pls do the review of Adidas own the game 2.0

[@youtubeshorts0346]

👍🏻

[@kidwithakube2886]

When are these releasing? I can’t find them on the Nike website anywhere

[@TommyLiu4]

This colorway was supposed to release on Mar.21 I think. But depending on where you are each retailer might have a different release schedule so dates can vary by a lot.

[@grandpanda2791]

Hey Tommy what’s the cushion set up? You didn’t mention it

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey 😃 It’s a Phylon midsole, with a forefoot Zoom unit and an airbag in the heel basically. No difference from the original release I believe and a pretty good setup in the standard of that period.

[@rymace2261]

Lebrooon Jamess

[@edsonrodriguez4475]

Are they comfortable as the Lebron 3?

[@TommyLiu4]

Oh I never had a pair of LeBron 3’s, not sure sorry.

[@Wladislav]

I'm starting to fear these won't come out in Europe at all.

[@stephenlamley541]

Kinda a grail for me they have been reduced so I'm in finally. I have limits money wise 145uk is the most I've spent 110 is my limit nowadays so no hype stuff for me, plenty of low heat about for good money. Gorge green (colour not for everyone) decon dunk high pro 80 uk i love those shoes classics 90s terrascapes 145 95 ultras 102 big blazer fan suade only for me

[@darrylbobo]

Does it need to size up for wide foot?

[@TommyLiu4]

I personally wouldn’t risk it since it’s already on the heavier side, if length or heel slippage becomes an issue that is definitely not good. These are right about average width.

[@TommyLiu4]

So going true to size is best in my opinion.

[@marcuslewis7888]

lol “mini tank” these were designed after the Hummer H2

[@keatonranger5016]

I feel like the Lebron nxt run pretty snug.. did you get the same size on those as you did on these?

[@TommyLiu4]

I went half size up in the LeBron NXXT Gen.

[@myretroworld1121]

​@@TommyLiu4I normally wear a 10 in most shoes. I went 10.5 in nxxt gen do you recommend the same with these? I'm a slightly wide foot with a bunion. Like a little room so no friction

[@TommyLiu4]

@@myretroworld1121 These fit true to size for me.

[@myretroworld1121]

@@TommyLiu4 I know trying on would be best but I haven't seen these. I seen it just dropped on the Nike app. Is there any comparison between them and the Jordan 13? To me those are the most comfortable and that's in a 10

[@TommyLiu4]

@@myretroworld1121 I see I see, they have the same fit so I think you can safely go with a size 10. But these won’t be as comfy as the 13s, just from my personal experience.

I didn't know the harden 7s were 500g ☠️ Would add a whole kilo to your weight I'm defo no buying em

[@TommyLiu4]

Yeah same with the Harden Vol. 6, but on feet they’re okay, pretty agile for that number on the scale 😂

[@melvinabuevaramos5090]

Look so heavy

[@DaneIbsen]

They’re actually lighter than most of the other Lebrons haha

Lost some weight bro?
