The LeBron 20 is Built for the Next Generation

• The LeBron 20 is the lightest edition of his signature sneaker yet, designed with a sleek, luxury-inspired low-top silhouette.
• The shoe celebrates LeBron's 20th year with Nike and his 20th year in the NBA.
• While it celebrates LeBron's historic career, the technical build of the LeBron 20 was created to serve the next generation of players.
• Now available in new colorways.

The LeBron 20 is the first performance shoe in LeBron’s signature line to debut as a low-top. Debuting in the "Time Machine" colorway, the shoe’s intricate designs on the lateral guardrail call out special moments in LeBron’s career. While the shoe celebrates the past, LeBron says the LeBron 20 was designed with the next generation in mind.

The shoe’s main features include a lower profile, Zoom Air in the forefoot and the heel, and a carbon fiber midfoot shank. For underfoot cushioning, the forefoot has a top-loaded Air Zoom Turbo unit and the heel features a larger Zoom Air unit, measuring at 13 mm thickness, to help with impact protection. The synthetic-wrapped lateral guardrail helps secure the foot over the footbed. A multidirectional outsole pattern grips the floor.

The heritage details throughout the shoe are nods to the past, but make no mistake: The performance build of the LeBron 20 has its sights set on the next 20 years.

The LeBron 20 pays tribute to your favorite teams with new colorways added to this signature sneaker line, including the Lebron XX "Trinity" and the the LeBron XX "Purple and Gold."

The "Trinity" honors the King's time on the throne in Miami in a Black and University Red colorway with Metallic Gold flashes nodding to LeBron's two championship seasons in South Beach.

The LeBron 20 "Purple and Gold" comes in Purple Pulse and Violet Frost, providing a canvas for the game-winning Metallic Gold accents and royal-themed graphics on the midsole.

“We saw the 20 as a chance to celebrate the next 20 years for LeBron,” says Jason Petrie, Senior Footwear Designer for Men’s Basketball and lead designer of the LeBron line since the Zoom LeBron VII. “The stitched tag inside the tongue says, ‘Designed and Engineered to the Exact Specifications of the Next Generation.’ We took that line seriously as we designed the shoe. We had players like LeBron’s sons Bronny and Bryce in mind. We wanted to get in their heads and learn about what young players were looking for.”

Petrie says he had memories of designing the Soldier 10 while making the shoe: lower profile, tight court feel, but built to withstand the force of his game. While much of the signature franchise has been built around LeBron’s love for Air, he trusted the Nike Basketball team to design a lightweight low top with Zoom Air — the lightest of his signature sneakers yet — and still create something that could hold up to LeBron’s style of play.
