Molded external heel stabilizers improve landing alignment
The Nike LeBron 17 Black/White is a stealthy take on Jamess seventeenth signature performance basketball shoe with Nike Basketball. Evolved from the Battleknit 2.0 upper used on the LeBron 16, the seventeenth model features Nikes Knitposite material, a revolutionary spin-off of Flyknit fabric that uses heat-molded yarns for improved mobility. The fabric covers the shadowy black and white woven upper including the smoky design on the heel. A lion-sketched throat continues a common theme found in the Nike LeBron series. Below, a forefoot-to-heel visible Max Air cushioning unit, the largest ever placed on a LeBron signature shoe, provides shock absorption for King Jamess full-steam-ahead playing style. The Nike LeBron 17 Black/White was released on September 27th, 2019. Black/WhiteBiomechanical flex zones correspond to foot joint locations
