Nike Zoom LBJ Ambasssador in Classic White-Red-Gold

Here’s another look at one of the upcoming LeBron James kicks. This year’s summer shoe was the Soldier II, which with all the launched Team colorways and soon-to-be discovered the usual High School PEs, has still some life left. Consider this one – Zoom LBJ Ambassador – a bonus. Designed for outdoor basketball with China ballplayers, the Ambassador will join the 20-5-5s and the Soldiers as one of the most durable sneakers in the game. Nowadays, most of the shoes are designed for indoors only and can’t survive a beating on the blacktop. For example, don’t imagine the Hyperdunk lasting the whole summer of everyday balling, especially with the Lunar Foam inside. But, there is no one thing for everything, cause if it’s good for everything than it’s good for nothing. Gladly, Nike and LeBron are constantly developing the outdoor shoes, that with all the usual tech inside (front and back Zoom Air) and a very durable outsole (this time it’s XDR – Xtra Durable Rubber), are almost indestructible and a good performer as well. With only one colorway profiled so far we give you a look at this Cleveland Cavaliers inspired White/Red-Gold colorway. Pics via pudeng.com, thanks to abt for the heads up.

  • ^Agree! It's got great casual street appeal. Don't know about balling in it though... that really doesn't look like why this shoe was designed. Real court shoes tend to have design that sets them apart from street... this doesn't have that.

  • they alright....will cop em only because they ahve " lebron" on the tongue....its been a while since nike done that...since they will mostly use the logo or kingjames

  • Already have, for daily use, I pick a whole black one, very comfortable. but as my air Jordan X, just after one days' wear, left one makes noise(GaZi,Gazi...) at each step, does each front-zoom shoes appears like that-_-!. you know when I walk in office this afternoon, all the guys knows me have a new shoes by that soundful GaZi~~~~ ?rz...

    btw, could anyone please tell me does this shoes has both front & back Zoom, I have been told it only has front-zoom & Cushlon, thanks.
