The shoe pays tribute to James' historic career but was designed with the future generation in mind. The synthetic-wrapped lateral guardrail helps secure the foot over the footbed. A carbon fiber midfoot shank provides energy return and torsional rigidity. Traction is provided by a multidirectional outsole pattern that grips the floor.
According to Nike, the LeBron 20 is the lightest edition of James' signature sneaker yet. It was designed with a sleek, luxury-inspired low-top silhouette. The collar lining includes a Nike technology called "Nike Sphere" that originally appeared in the Air Zoom Generation
