Same here I love black shoes. My favorites are the all black or like black with red. But those are for the lebron 15. The best color way for shoes in my opinion is all black, black and gum, or black with a low profile color crossover
Bro I feel like some times they are more bias towards some shoes and I mean yeah the white pair does look like the traction does work hella good but idk I dont trust the shoes enought cuz air max has never been stable so for guards idk man its tuff
I got lebron 17s and they were my first pair of lebrons ever. I kept tripping up on them Because they were so high and laterally unstable. I ended up almost rolling my ankle multiple times and just bought new shoes
The translucent rubber just grips better for some reason. I noticed this too. It was a big enough difference to make me grab another colorway. Had the Lakers colorway the first go around.
When Donny boy says that’s it’s the best traction I was like wait wait wait isn’t this the most expensive shoe he has reviewed because he usually reviews all the budget shoes lol 😂
@@lilliampumpernickle4655 Now here in the Philippines these colorways go on 50% sale!!! But unfortunately I bought mine 1 month before the sale😭. Now waiting for the 18's to go on sale and those "Reflection" colorway was dope🔥🔥🔥
I like the shoe a lot. I bought the black/white colorway in a size 10. I’m hoping to buy another colorway at some point on sale in a 9.5. I think they do run a tiny bit long. $200 is hard to drop, but I did have a $20 gift card to make it $180 like you guys were saying.
These are his best model ever. Just got done playing about 3 hours in mine and they're very comfortable and responsive. I'm about 5"9 250lbs and could never hit a step back in his previous models especially the 16's because landing felt wobbly until I played in these bad boys. Being 250lbs lateral movement was extremely good. The outrigger was a good decision to add. Cushioning was a beast. Look wise is like the 10s so I appreciate that and the exoskeleton construction of the shoe is keeping your feet on lock down. No one is breaking your ankles and Zion could never break these. Love them. Next pair for me will be More Than An Athlete on Christmas Day. I highly recommend anyone getting these, even guards.
@@1dazaraza1 Exactly, man, I'll be 38 in a few months. No way in hell can I wear Kyries. The 4 maybe for a light run but none of the other models. I can't even wear the 3s and 5s casually without discomfort.
They should of put some shark gills on the side toe box where the laces start lebron is not a cross over A.I. type of guy so that explains the lateral stability. They look like they are meet to take off and jam! It looks heavy to with so much lower thickness but if it was all cussion im all for it.
Sole Brothers, i was wondering if you guys have this problem also. I know the shoe came out awhile now but i bought mine during Christmas time and have been my main shoes for some time now only playing indoors but ive noticed that the sole is peeling in some areas so i decided to look on goat on the used lebron 17 and i also saw that some of the lebron 17s also had this problem! is anyone else experiencing this problem? *note that i dont have translucent sole
I think the traction is just average. I don't find myself slipping but I don't think they have much bite and stopping power is adequate at best. This is not a guard's shoe AT ALL so I don't see any reason to obsess over traction. It's fine for power wings and bigs.
@@bigdipper1346 maybe. But a shoe should be able to be used by every position on the floor. The jordan 34 is being worn by players like kemba to heavy players like blake and zion thats the definition of great bball shoe.
I think versatility can be an asset (Hyperdunk series, Clutch Drive, etc) but it's not essential. If a shoe shoots for something very specific or at least a specific range, then it should be evaluated on how well it serves its target audience. I won't say a Kyrie is a bad shoe for a seven-foot post player or the Hyperposite isn't a good shoe for a point guard. That goes without saying and is pointless. Yes, some shoes work well for all positions but a shoe that's specifically targeted at a player like you or me might be better for you or me than that more versatile shoe. Also this is a signature shoe so naturally it's engineered for its signature athlete. You don't see many signature shoes falling into the versatile category for that reason.
a little late but would u suggest these for people looking for ankle support? i know former lebron shoes were terrible for support but are these different?
The way his foot was protruding off over the midsole does not look good, & does not look like it would contain the foot. How could they say it's a great performer yet air max felt unstable on the lateral side. These guys are bias towards certain shoes. Any other shoe they would say it's unplayable for something like that.
Nice review, guys. I got my pair in the mail the day before they dropped. IMO the highlight is the upper, VERY supportive. The C-Unit is nice especially for someone like me that grew up playing in stuff like the Aggress Force, Battle Max and Big Flyer. I wasn't expecting court feel with these hahaha. My gripe is the forefoot. WAY too big of a drop from the C-unit to the Zoom, which seems to be the same Zoom unit as the Zoom Witness (yuck). I feel this on the court, too. Through the midfoot I feel zero discomfort, stays cushy even through a four-hour run. But the forefoot is too thin for me and the drop is too damn abrupt! I like the width, I like the traction, I just wish they'd have had a more gradual transition from the C-Unit to the forefoot Zoom. Much like the Bron 15, this shoe could have been perfect for what it was shooting for if not for one fatal flaw (in that case it was a lack of stability).
I got the black pair and they are a really good performer for me, but I am a center/power forward so you may be smaller but I like them because I get all the impact protection I need and the traction I need to make defensive transitions and keep stable while running for a floater or layup. If you are smaller you can still get it but you won't feel the cushion as much as I do but you will be protected no matter what. To me, it is a overall good shoe.
I just got these and haven't tried them.on the court yet but I walked with them around the house and they felt amazing, I went tts btw Edit: They also feel amazing on the court
Sole Brothers: Comes in around $200
Me: Yeah ima wait till these come out in 2k
Been 2 months and still not in game lol

Am I the only one who thinks that the 15 is still super dope
I think the 15s are the best LeBron of all time aesthetically.
Gabriel Inman yeah the 15’s go hard for sure
The colorway options were goat if you ask me
I have the black gums and it Is my go to shoe cuz i always wear black.

that "triangle in the heel" forms a
Crown symbol.
Don't know why, but I love whenever Donny boy drops a "despicable"
4:30 "you don't feel anything.." I was about to lose my mind lol good video tho!
He can’t feel the zoom again, dude you’re 80lbs of course you’re not gonna feel the zoom!
I wear 235 and I can barely feel it. It's a pretty wimpy Zoom.
BigDipper13 Come on man....unless you’re Zion or lebron nobody will feel em pods!
How do y’all not feel it? The max I don’t feel as much but the zoom in the front is nice
Tristan Hicks imagine playing ball with them and the air max kept depressing on you?
BLACK NOY it’s be sick. To me air max would be nice if it didn’t have a pillar things in it
Damn, nightwing said completely opposite about traction 🤷🏽♂️😅
Ikr
Nightwing had a different colorway on his performance test but he has a doper review on these.
Jan Gutierrez Nightwing tested play in the grey (oreo) colorway right? The one Sammy has, and Sammy still said traction is incredible.
Trust the Nightwing review. This traction has issues in the forefoot. Tried the Lakers colorway. Just not good enough. Plenty of slips in 2 hours.
Bro I feel like some times they are more bias towards some shoes and I mean yeah the white pair does look like the traction does work hella good but idk I dont trust the shoes enought cuz air max has never been stable so for guards idk man its tuff

I have the "remove before launch" lebron 17s as well and I just tie the laces and placed them behind the tongue. It looks cleaner imo
Y’all need to shoot some game footage in the shoes
Yeah wanna see some bricks and blocks
i have the shoes and love them. wear them all the time and am watching this video just to see if i should buy them again or get some others

Got these today in James Gang colorway and these was so very dope.

Is it good? I wanna buy it too

I just copped Lebron17. Retail price in Thailand is THB7,000 or equivalent to USD230.
Do they fit really snug? I know for Kyrie 6 go half a size up as well with PG4 but what about Lebron 17?

I prefer wearing Kyrie 4, Kyrie 5, KD 12 & Dame 5 cause I want responsive cushion with some impact protection
Nightcore Is My Life Kyrie 4 my fav shoe of all time
Big guys like lebron don’t need that so their shoes are much less minimal and responsive

We do really miss the sole brothers!

One of your best reviews yet
Surely there will be a versus video with the 16's
15/16 is a tidy comparison. These are very different.
I think imma just wait for the lows
Where can i get this colorway? I have never seen this one. I want it!!!

Fam me too my mom will buy those for me
a little late but would u suggest these for people looking for ankle support? i know former lebron shoes were terrible for support but are these different?
Is the Currency colorway a good choice
Is it just me or does the different colorway affect the traction? Just watched nightwing's review and he said the traction wasn't really that great
Jordan jumpman diamond low Performance Review!!!
Which one are better lebron 17 or jordan 34. Pls answer.
Nothing is messing with that future air colorway right now.
Tika Taka ur gae
I played in the Lebron currency and the front is to much cushion should be wider like the lebron 10 Hey did youll weight these ??
Are all the translucent colorways as good as the one reviewed in here?
Nightwings pair had bad traction. I don't know what to believe...
*pairs..he tested 2 colorways
Please Do more shoe outlet vlogs + does it basketball reebok answer 5..thanks snap guys😁✌
Waiting to hear them say the traction was too good that it was actually bad, they be hatin on these Brons.

Which lebron's are the best to play in?
10 or 7
Which one will be better? 16 low or 17?
I bought a pair and the arch area hurts any suggestions.. thank
neogeneva01 then the shoes probably to small
The difference in traction performance maybe was due to your difference in weight not the color way, don’t you think?
They molded the knitposite with heat molded yarns
Its the shoe size believe it or not i tried my normal size 13
And tried on 14 for shits and giggles and it was slightly better
Guys do lebron16 vs lebron17
Will this be in your rotation?
so surprised. everyone else says traction sucks and the guys who normally says traction are are bad thinks these are good
The best one from they made a shoe for him but i still would buy because i were nothing but jordas retro 242 btc
Can you please do Kobe ad nxt ff vs Lebron17
Finally🔥
LeBron James is wearing the LeBron 16 Agimat colorway in his pre season games. He does not debut the 17 yet
Kyle Maynard He wore the 17s in both games in China vs the Nets
I took the laces out from going through the tongue and just having them go over top of the tongue. Much more comfortable.
Look up (T.G.K TV) review of the Lebron 17, he said the same thing.
Does the traction will be bad in outdoor court?
The orange and white ones are around $450 now😳
I got mine for 180 on goat there god tier traction for me
Very nice sneaker
Guys what is the purpose of the hole in heal tab

Bitch hush

Are these literally better than Leborn 16s????
The sole is a lot softer and the knitposit is firmer on the 17. 16 were my favorites but they do feel sock like imo.

180...200. Hopefully a PE will come out with improvements

Lamar Usher Lebron weighs like 260, and he plays extremely hard. You’re good to go.
Roled my ankle on these 💀
Do these run hot? I would want to use this casually and sometimes even a full day and I would like to know if it is really hot.
Yes
I always knew that this shoe was gonna be good, even when everyone was shitting on it
Lebron is buff as hell so he probably wouldn't notice these on his feet
Is ur buff then u would feel it . If ur light then you won't feel it
I loved the shoe but traction was miss for me. LeBron 16 I think performed better.
What model is the white
Are these good for gym?
Do 16s vs 17s
Do LeBron 17 FP
