The Lebron II takes a whole new direction from the Hummer H2 inspired Air Zoom Generation. The shoe has both a modern and retro feel to design and technology. Full length blow molded air cushioning system now gives the shoe an ultra plush ride. A removable strap (with a huge swoosh) is bound to make those Air Force 1 fans happy. For those not feeling the large strap, laser etched design featuring a lion’s head (King James) and LBJ 23 is carved on to the leather. This is also Nike’s way of responding to the counterfeit shoes on the market. The design of the sole causes the shoe to slip when doing hard cutting and planting. The box has the laser etched design and is one of the best designed shoe boxes ever by Nike. Comfort is excellent with the exception of the tongue being a little too short and slides down during play. Finally, beware of cushioning softness over a long period of time. The Zoom Max Air seems to lose steam after prolonged wears even though it is excellent when brand new. Overall, $125 retail is actually quite reasonable and certainly recommended for any serious baller or Lebron fan.
