Deion's legendary swagger inspired a young LeBron to strive for his own greatness. So as the King celebrates his 21st season, it's only right the legends link up in this prime-time design. Inspired by the Nike Air Diamond Turf '96, this LeBron 21 combines the iconic midfoot strap and claw marks that Deion wore during his heyday with court-ready Air Zoom cushioning. And, of course, the colours nod to Coach Prime's programme. Strap up A midfoot strap, which Deion himself requested when his signature line launched back in 1993, provides extra lockdown and increases stability. Cloaked and contained We reinforced the lightweight mesh with a 360-degree zonal cabling system for optimal containment. We disguised it all with a premium, lightweight drapery for a cloaked finishing touch. Soften the rise An Air Zoom unit in the heel and forefoot supports landing and gives you a propulsive feeling. We paired them with a soft, springy foam to help ensure a pillowy feel. Stay refreshed Dimensional mesh on the upper is durable and contained. Using lightweight materials, we striated the upper's venting to look like the veining of a shell, helping contain you during explosive movements. Zonal perforations in the sandwich mesh and ventilation on both sides provide breathability. Steady and sturdy A top-loaded, strong plastic plate helps keep you steady and gives you more snap when taking off.
