The Nike LeBron 17 University Red is a basketball shoe designed in collaboration with NBA star LeBron James. It is part of Nike's ongoing signature line, known for its innovative technology and performance features. The shoes have a predominantly red upper made from a unique material called Knitposite, which combines Flyknit construction with heat-molded yarns. The red hue extends to the midsole, featuring Zoom Air units and Max Air cushioning for a responsive and comfortable ride. The outsole has an exaggerated traction pattern for better grip on the court. Our favorite feature is the Knitposite material on the upper, reinforcing durability while maintaining a flexible and supportive fit necessary for dynamic court movements. The grade-school sized shoes were first released at a retail price of $160 on November 15, 2019.
