As his legend keeps growing, each one of his new signature models pushes the boundaries of technology and delivers great performance.

Before getting into details of the LeBron 19, we must first look at some interesting facts from the life and career of the King.

So, these impressive 19 editions of his sneakers are accompanied by 19 seasons in the NBA league, and as of recently LeBron spent more than half of his life as a professional basketball player, which also surprised him:

His list of achievements and records is too long to focus on all of them, but a new one from a few days ago has special significance as it is for the most points scored in NBA games played on Christmas. NBA fans know that these games are reserved only for the best teams so this is a truly special record that will be difficult to break. The list of the best Christmas scorers now looks like this:

1. LeBron James | 422 points (16 games)
2. Kobe Bryant | 395 points (16 games)
3. Oscar Robertson | 377 points (12 games)
4. Dwyane Wade | 314 points (13 games)
5. Kevin Durant | 299 points (10 games)

Another recognition from this year (which did not happen on the court) was the official opening of the LeBron James Innovation Center building within the Nike campus/headquarters, which houses the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL). This was his comment: “Over the course of my career and my time here at Nike, for all of this to come together is surreal. Sometimes it doesnā€™t make sense to me, but Iā€™m definitely honored. Having my name on the Innovation building feels very fitting because Iā€™m always trying to figure out ways I can continue to innovate and continue to break the timeline of what they say is your prime.ā€ Without writing too much about this, we suggest you go on a virtual tour:

Right now, when we are writing about technological innovations and achievements, we can start with the story about the sneakers. The sole has a very interesting pattern with miniature crown replicas and the first test results in our stores were very satisfactory. As part of the sole or just above it, an amazing combination of Air Max under the heel and Air Zoom under the toes is used. It is particularly interesting that these two airbags are connected by ā€œair ductsā€ below the middle part of the foot. If you think this looks and sounds spectacular, get ready for even more excitement when you put the sneakers on and feel all of this under your feet. This is perhaps one of the greatest achievements in terms of sneaker comfort and it is further improved with Cushlon foam, which has proven its virtues countless times.

Then there is the upper where we can highlight a departure from what we saw on LeBron 16, 17 and 18 models which all used modified Flyknit (more precisely, it was Battleknit and Knitposite) in order to return to Flywire made famous by the legendary Hyperdunk sneakers. Specifically, as the sneakerā€™s weight is increased due to the technology of its bottom part, this light and durable upper served as an ideal balance for the total weight of the sneaker.

Since LBJ loves Air so much, it is again used in the tongue just like last year, while this time it was also added around the ankles. This may be less important for functionality, but it certainly looks phenomenal. All fans of hightop sneakers will be delighted by this part around the ankle, as with optimal lacing it will provide great ankle stability while at the same time it does not restrict movement at all. Additional stability is provided by TPU parts on the medial and lateral sides of the foot, which is of course another big plus.

Lastly, the sneaker is full of great details that you can check out in our video review:

Long live the King!
