Lebron 15 Battlemax Battleknit

A first look at the Nike LeBron 15 is here, revealing some brand new technology and performance innovation never before seen on a Nike shoe – ever. The upper is a textured knit material called BattleKnit as it features a textured weave that adds depth in design, while the cushioning unit is called BattleMax and features compartments of visibile Zoom Air. An aggressive heel counter is the only external piece on the upper, so it’s clear that designer Jason Petrie went super minimal for the LeBron 15 shoes, the ninth LeBron signature shoe he’s helmed (not to mention the Low, Soldier, and other takedown iterations).

LeBron James himself gave the shoe an unofficial debut during a scrimmage run at UCLA; that black/white colorway first gave us hints that the shoe would be a foot-hugging knit construction, and these first clear images of the shoes solidifies that notion. Stay tuned for release info as these are likely to drop early in the 2017-2018 NBA season.
