Breaking Down the Zoom LBJ Ambassador. Summit Lake Hornets Showcase.

LeBron is sporting the Ambassador II in China so we thought it’s a good moment to remind our readers about the first installment breaking down some of its specifics. We chose the commemorative colorway representing the Summit Lake Hornets – LeBron’s childhood basketball team. First of all it’s a LeBron James signature shoe. Let’s not forget about that. The number of featured LeBron logos is the best proof. Second of all it’s cheap (it’s a $90 basketball shoe), which doesn’t happen a lot when we’re talking Nike signature sneakers. Finally, it was designed with China ballers in mind so don’t be surprised to see LBJ promoting it in the Far East instead of U.S.A. In general the Zoom LBJ Ambassador is a very nice looking shoe. All released colorways were nicely executed and you can wear them on and off the court. It has Zoom Air, so it should be okay to play basketball, right? Technically… yes, but the Low ST also had Zoom Air cushioning and still I wouldn’t like to play in them the whole season. For casual balling with your friends and random pick up games on the blacktop… you’re good to go. The Ambassador is fairly comfortable, but the only major downside is lack of any inner bootie and there are a lot of sharp edges inside of the shoe. The shoes are triple-stiched, which is nice, cause it makes them very durable, but without any taping or really thick socks you can feel there’s just not enough padding inside. If you have a chance try them on and let’s wait and see if the mentioned issues have been resolved in the upcoming Zoom LBJ Ambassador II. Enjoy the pics below. Thanks to KIX-FILES.com.
