Torsional groove enhances smooth transition from heel strike to toe off

LeBron James LeBron XXII EP
Basketball Shoes
LeBron isn't slowing down anytime soon. The open-court nightmare is as fast and spry as ever. But even Bron needs support when he's at full throttle. That's why we leveled up the LeBron 22. Newly implemented saddle wings offer optimal midfoot stability. They complement the heel and forefoot Air Zoom units, so the King can keep pushing the sport forward. With its extra-durable rubber outsole, this version gives you traction for outdoor courts.

Support and Speed
The large forefoot Air Zoom unit is curved to bend in multiple directions. It provides energy return for fast and responsive cornering and offers a flexible court feel that moves naturally with your foot. A bottom-loaded Air Zoom unit in the heel adds cushioning and support.
Stay Steady
A tough plastic plate in the midsole and sturdy, wing-shaped pieces on both sides of the shoe help keep you stable.
Soft and Smooth
The responsive foam in the midsole feels soft and smooth while keeping you low to the ground and enhancing the sensation of court feel.
