Nike LeBron X P.S. Elite “Superhero” – New Photos »

Turns out the initial colorway of the Nike LeBron X Elite is not influenced by the New York Knicks or the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Hardwood Classic theme, but a fictional Superhero character. Putting the marketing aside, I’m still interested the most in the the technical improvements. Building off the innovative advances already built into the LeBron X, Nike added a number of performance enhancements: Carbon Fiber reinforced mid-foot wings for excellent lateral stability, Kevlar aramid reinforced Nike Flywire, stretch-resistant Kevlar laces, and articulated foam tongue for impact protection and lace pressure minimization. Is it enough to to take the shoe to the next level? We’ll find out very soon. The Nike LeBron X P.S. Elite drops next month.
