Nike Lebron XV detailed review

Huge, thick and expensive cushioning is probably the “signature” of the signature shoe line called Lebron. The most recent version – Lebron XV still carries all of those features but with a fully restored look with the latest technologies: Battleknit and Zoom.

I. Design, Material

Imagine taking the upper part of a Lebron pair like XIII, XIV for example and minimizing it as much as possible, then knitting it with knit, we will get the shape of Lebron XV. But unlike KD’s slim line of shoes, Lebron 15’s knit line is divided into at least three regions:

1, Soft, elastic tongue with a very small scaly layer. If you pay attention, once you fully stretch this area, the “scales” will be flattened.

2, The knit section is flat, firmly around the shoe body and toes

3, Larger scales are inelastic around heels and outer margins

Next is the Phylon layer with the Zoom buffer and the huge Air Max.

And finally, to perfect the “dragon scales” design, at the bottom of Lebron 15 was also made into scales.

Evaluate:

• Right size
• Hugging extremely close, comfortable
• The heel and ankle lockdown is very good

Lebron XV is one of those pairs that just needs to know its fit is 10/10. There is absolutely no extra space in the shoe, every layer of material fulfills its function. The soft, stretchy blade software makes entry fairly easy and smooth in all cases. The remaining two knit parts are solid, stable in every step.

There are shoes I don’t mind evaluating and Lebron 15 is one of them. When I go true size, I sometimes get pain in my legs, the rest is mostly fine. Many of you still go up half the size because the shoes are so good.

III. Adhesion

Evaluate:

• Average grip
• Less abrasion is required to reach 100% grip
• When at 100% it’s pretty much the same

Whenever the shoe designer decides to tell a story on the outsole of a basketball shoe, the first feeling is always “shiver.” Shivering not because the story is monumental, touching but shivering with fear. Up until now, the stylized cleats have not really had the typical effect like Kobe VI and Lebron XV are also a bit too much.

The sole right after beating the box, many pieces of “scales” are precipitated upwards with very little friction. If you play dusty wood floors, bringing a new pair of Lebron XV on is a little risky.

After “turning” the soleplate into almost flat, the feeling of peace of mind returns. However, Lebron XV never gives a tight feeling when braking or changing direction.

In general, the grip of this base is quite a size after being worn off, also do not plow outdoor too much to damage the Zoom.

IV. Buffer / Cushioning

Evaluate:

Before on Lebron XV, I thought it had to be very soft but in fact its Zoom bags are very solid. With “firm” foam will usually be “stiff” but Zoom is different, once you press down while running, it immediately compresses and rebounds immediately when you lift your foot. An entire fiber system in the Zoom bag offers an unprecedented bounce and sensitivity. Compared with KD IX and Lebron X, Lebron XV’s nose part is higher and tighter.

The Zoom at the heel is still sensitive when needed but less compression, bouncing because of the presence of the Air Max columns. This design is quite similar to the Lebron VIII v2, the Lebron IX with the Air Max 180 bag at the heel.

In addition to the a bit high buffering given that Nike’s inability to completely trim the Phylon layer, it’s a great set-up for players with a Lebron-like gameplay.

V. Support

Evaluate:

• Fit well
• Solid material
• Containment is poor
• High sole, no outrigger

Accompanied by the sense of lightheadedness that Lebron XV brings, it also comes with a slightly high feeling as mentioned above. Fortunately, the ability to embrace the legs as well as the ruggedness of the Battleknit makes you just a little surprised at first.

However, Lebron XV is really only designed for a less dexterous attack and a more straight line. The base is thick and has no edge of the base, making me quite confused about turning my ankle, especially after seeing some people including Lebron. If you notice, even the cleats just go up and down.

Another problem I noticed was that the large “scales” part of Lebron XV was also not much more certain than the middle knit layer. In addition, your feet are only horizontal with the upper part, not blocked by Phylon so every time you jab step or brake horizontally, you will find your feet slip off a little.

Personally, I think the level of support for Lebron XV’s straight movements is very good, but with other movements, it will be a bit “precarious”.

BECAUSE. Conclusion – Nike Lebron XV

Pros:

• Material plush, sure for a double knit
• Buffer “divine”
• Fit very well, no gaps, no creases

Cons:

• The soles are a bit bad, need to play outdoor first to increase the contact area
• The nose pad is a bit high
• Without sole edge, knit is not strong enough

Suitable for those who are large, need a lot of cushion, and less direction. Fit the right size.

Although it has many disadvantages, Lebron XV is still a very popular and best-selling shoe at Kicks Geeks thanks to hugging upper and Zoom. For those who are still wondering, just remember to sharpen the Lebron XV pair to stick more than enough. If Lebron goes with this pair, he can carry the Cavaliers into the final, at least not bad for you.

If you are expecting a pair of Lebron XV’s divine-padded shoes while at the same time more secure, then look forward to Lebron XVI. Currently, the pre-order price for the Fresh Bred at KicksGeeks is 4750k. What The Lebron and Ashes versions are priced at VND 9500k and VND4750k, respectively.
