And the shoe today is LeBron 23 PVD. Colorway is multi- color, multicolor, and black. That is a size eight. All right. So, this shoe is kind of tricky. As you see, the box is just ginormous. It is huge.

The Nike LeBron 23 are safe, stable shoes that suit big players who value security over court feel. Cushioning handles impact but feels too soft. Traction is good on clean courts and poor on dusty ones.

But as far as this particular shoe goes, traction was pretty good. Um, you know, on clean courts, you do have very, very good traction. It's stop on a dime type traction and the traction is just very, very nice.

It seems both the LeBron Witness 9 and the flagship LeBron 23 are built on the same (or very similar) lasts, as we experienced an accommodating fit in both shoes.

I like the gold one the most so far and I think this one right here is my second f favorite. And then I think it's the heatwave. And like I said, there are a number of good colors. But anyway, look at this. This box is gigantic. It doesn't even fit on my camera. Anyway, here's the side. Goodness gracious. I stay true to size in this shoe. You can stay true to size in this shoe.

A pretty cool design on this Nike LeBron 23 with this crown logo on the side. As far as the traction goes on this model, you do have this modified wave kind of herring bone traction pattern and it is in the shape of a two and a three for 23 for his number and his 23rd signature shoe.

I love that chrome touch to it. I love the overall like blue, like kind of like a denim blue, but not really denim blue cuz it's like teal. And then along the tongue, it's like yellow, as you guys can kind of see right here on the tongue. And I just like just like the variation of colors.

I will say the packaging was pretty slick. It was, you know, it came with a bunch of stuff. It felt very premium. So, I mean, that's cool, I guess. But we're not here to talk about all that extra stuff. Okay. How do these perform on the court? That's exactly what we're going to talk about. Let's break it down.

So, I wish they would have just made it a one-piece outsole. Like why did you have to make it open like this, you know what I mean? But uh with Nike, I feel like it's not going to be a huge issue because I I feel like they make good quality shoes, and hopefully the glue is nice, and it doesn't happen to me.

This translucent sole, especially on a dustier court, tends not to grip very well because the rubber is stickier. So, because there's dirt, you end up slipping. I played on a slightly dirty court, right? I had no problem.

I'm happy I have my hands on them, and I didn't like every color. I ain't going to lie, but at a certain point, I had so many of them I was like, I might as well try to complete the set. And with every number having a meaning, it's super cool to kind of travel through time with his career. I've been watching him since I was a kid. He's damn near been in the league the whole time I've been alive.

The LeBrontos. Pretty dope. Um, but there's the book. And here is the charm. Every shoe comes with a specific uh theme charm. Um, and basically this is going to be uh the redeem team charm. Um, of course uh these shoes were nicknamed out for redemption and it is going back to the uh time where LeBron and a bunch of other players were on the Olympic team in Beijing in 2008. Okay.

Um, overall, the traction on these is pretty nice. On dirty floors, they do struggle just a little bit. You will have to wipe the bottom of this shoe or you will slide out to a stop. Um, nothing crazy. Um, like I said, you can see that 23 right here. Overall, it is a pretty reliable setup. If you're only playing on like university floors or very clean floors, this is an elite traction pattern.

It does a fantastic job. It has a loud squeak, a very hard bite, but where these struggle is dirty floors. They collect a ton of dust to the point where you will slide to a stop on lateral crossovers or just movements in general. and that was a bit problematic for me.

Cushioning is really nice, but it does have its issues here or there. Materials are pretty nice, but it has its flaws. Lockdown was decent and the support was pretty decent on top of it.

These are the LeBron 23 and they are actually a pretty messy shoe. Let's find out why. Early in the hype cycle for the LeBron 23, I was incredibly excited for this shoe, more so because of what it promised to the buyers. Um, what you had was a drop-in midsole for the first time since the LeBron 11. And that drop-in midsole had ZoomX foam in there.

But once you tie it up, you should be good to go for the most part. You will feel a little a little bit of heel slip a little bit, but after you break after that break-in period, it will start to feel more contained. It just I think they made this shoe to maybe conform to your foot some kind of way. But yeah, I would highly recommend when you first try these shoes on to tighten the laces as possib

And today we're going to be doing an initial comparison between the Nike LeBron 22 and the Nike LeBron 23. So, of course, these are LeBron James' shoes. And in terms of pricing, it kind of sucks how they increased the price so dang much, right? So, the LeBron 22, they actually reduced the price from the LeBron 21, right? So, this shoe was 180 bucks.

M MARKCHES MARKCHES · 37.3K subscribers · Oct 2025

So guys, the LeBron 23, if you haven't seen other reviewers, this is of course the crown that they incorporate with the shoe, which I really like. So they veered away from the traditional just watch detail on the lateral side. And it's not just for design. It's also uh like a lateral support. So when you're doing lateral wolves, you're not sliding off the footed whatsoever.
