Introduced in 2013, the Nike LeBron 11 was yet another breakthrough in LeBron's signature line. Known for its ultra-modern, angular design, the LeBron 11 was created with the aim of producing a lighter and lower sneaker without compromising on the premium features expected in a LeBron shoe. Jason Petrie led the design, featuring Nike's Hyperposite technology, which fused Foamposite and Hyperfuse to deliver lightweight lock-down, dynamic fit, and excellent protection.
The LeBron 11 also introduced the Lunarlon and Zoom Air cushioning combination in the LeBron line for the first time, offering enhanced responsiveness and impact absorption. Furthermore, the design incorporated an inner sleeve that offered seamless comfort and signature details on the tongue and Swoosh reflecting LeBron's personality.
Key colorways included the futuristic 'King's Pride' with a unique graphic inner lining and the bold red 'Miami Heat' edition. Noteworthy was the "What the LeBron" edition that blended 28 different elements from past LeBron's signature models. The LeBron 11 truly pushed the envelope in terms of design and technology, emphasizing LeBron's evolution both on and off the court.
