LeBron James’ signature shoe line has been pretty hit-or-miss throughout his career.
We’ve seen it so many times before. At certain points, he’s had the best looking signature basketball line out there. Other times, Bron’s shoes have looked like space boots with how big and bulky they are.
The LeBron 20 was good, though. Really good. So, with the next NBA season slowly but surely creeping up on us, everyone was waiting to see what James’ 21st signature shoe would look like.
Luckily for us, James was kind enough to give the internet a sneak preview of his sneaker on Instagram. And I’m pleased to report that, yes, these look pretty good.

There’s definitely a bit of a Kobe 4 vibe to these sneakers. For those of you who don’t know, here’s what that looks like.

The resemblance is there. While that can be bad if done incorrectly, these seem to be solid. While we haven’t seen more colorways or official pictures, people were still quick to give their opinion on these sneakers.
Luckily for James and Nike, the feedback was mostly positive. Though, many people also pointed out the Kobe thing.
