Light, lean and explosive are three words to define the LeBron XIII Men's Basketball sneaker features sock-like comfort plus larger-than-ever Nike Zoom Air cushioning units for maximum explosiveness on the court. Rock em’ with basketball shorts with a matching tank for the ultimate athletic look.
• One-piece sleeve made of breathable mesh

The LEBRON 13 combines lockdown fit and dynamic cushioning to match LeBron James’s power and speed.

The shoe's top three performance features include:

1. BREATHABLE, SOCK-LIKE FIT FOR FLEXIBILITY AND LOCKDOWN
The breathable mesh upper hugs the foot, while Flywire technology cables provide an adaptive, natural fit and excellent lockdown.

2. HYPERPOSITE MATERIAL PROVIDES ZONED IMPACT PROTECTION

Hyperposite on the midfoot and collar adapts to the forceful torque exerted by James at top speed. Wrapping the top of the foot, it also enhances durability and support while maintaining flexibility and providing protection. An asymmetrical lacing system finishes the upper and supplements lockdown and foot containment.

3. NIKE ZOOM AIR CUSHIONING UNITS MAXIMIZE EXPLOSIVENESS
Since its debut on the basketball court in the Nike Air Go LWP in 1995, Zoom Air has provided superior cushioning and explosiveness for the movement and impact of the game. For an athlete like LeBron James, the journey up and down the court can equal 12 marathons over the course of a season. Superior cushioning and comfort are a must.
The LEBRON 13 evolves the size and placement of the hexagonal Nike Zoom Air units that debuted in the LEBRON 12.

Four Zoom Air units in the outsole provide maximum response and cushioning on impact. Two of the units are 13 millimeters thick – larger than those in the LEBRON 12 in total volume; one in the heel and one in the ball of the foot. Two additional hexagonal Nike Zoom units are placed in the forefoot at peak pressure points.

INNOVATION FOR ALL AGES
The LEBRON 13 has also been engineered to address the specific needs of young athletes as they grow through infant, toddler, pre-school and grade school sizes for both on and off the basketball court. Each of the models features performance design unique to age range and physical development.
