On eo fthe issues the 20 had was when it was fully broken in and wore more your foot drops into the midsole and the lacing lockdown becomes lackluster - the 21 added a high lacing structure to combat that issue as well.
YOOOO what you said from 6:50 -7 min mark is completely on point i have the LeBron 20 and that's exactly how i felt it was a good/amazing shoe but i did feel a little delayed on plays
I feel like the cushion benefits from the plastic shank over the carbon fiber. The only think I like more in last years is the top of the tongue. The leather lining is kinda rough but it’s really the smallest of gripes.
@everyone if you wants these go get them rn I just got ever color out rn they’re on a new year sale on Nike for 150 and just about every size except a 13.5 is available and if you make or have a Nike profile you get an extra it’s like 23-26% depending the color making them all 113 and if you can’t get them all you can get two after the Nike code it’s 2 for 226 that’s damn near retail plus tax yall idk how long it out but game is game!
I just returned a pair of the LeBron 21 "Tahitian's" super cool looking shoes. Beware the steal eyelets at the top of the shoe gave me bad blisters on the inside of my ankles. Please try them on first to make sure. A friend also bough a pair and complained as well. He said it took about 5 runs to break in. I'm to old for that. Recommend the Curry 24 Splash Jam & the Puma Scoot Pro Nitro. You can just put these on a nd ball with no break in required. Those are my type of shoe !
These shoes are so comfortable. I would rather wear these than $250 shoes that are supposed to be the best. I bought these for my son and now I want them back. He wears the same size as me.
As a wide footer I went a half size up and the only issue I have is that the very first eyelet kills my big toe. Waiting on my size 11 to come in and see if that helps at all.
@@AntonioMargheretiI just grab a size 11 in the Tahitian colorway and they do fit better. I also tried on a size 10.5 in the Tahitian colorway and did not have the pinching in the toe area that I had with the Akoya colorway. I would say half size up is ok if you like a snug toe box but full size up it you want a little more space in the toe box. The full size up also gives you just a little more length considering the shoe also runs short in length.
I appreciate the in-depth review on these Lebron 21's. I might pick some up in a couple days. I just bought the Lebron Nxxt Gen kicks. Had them for like a month. I was trying to ease into them, not run too hard in them, break them in over time. And nahh, they're too rough for my feet. Destroying my foot bottom with pain. 😂 I run pretty fast, and jump decently high. And it's just not working out. I'm just glad I even found a decent fitting shoe for the toe box and forefoot area, being someone with a wide foot. Tried on like 10 different shoes and none of these styles fit my foot it seems. 😂 I will try these on and most likely give them a go. (Nike if you're reading this, bring back some cheaper 2013 and 2014 Hyperdunk kicks please. Or even some Nike Prime Hype DF 2, I miss those. High top, good grip, comfy shoes is where it's att 🙂)
@@jubyloo2 interesting that you say that though because I have the KD14’s which I like but it seems like your higher off the ground in those than any other shoe.
I tried these on and felt great. I had the same exact reaction to the feel and materials. Substantial compared to new age models with synthetics and mesh uppers. My only concern is that top of back heel that sticks out into your Achilles. Am I tripping???
I wore a size 10 in lebron 16. fit was perfect. Size 10 in jordan performance model's. Narrow-average foot. Are people recommending sizing up .5 for the 21? Thanks
I got these but when I’m playing I noticed a lot of rubbing on the inside ankle area on my feet and left blisters, do I just need to break them in or have you noticed that aswell?
Lebron lost his shoe in a game… put it back on and ran for a dunk lol Can you tell me if they are narrow like the last year model? I couldn’t wear them, I bought a pair and it was too narrow so I had to size up and it was still narrow and now too long.
Finally took the plunge with the latest sale, $95 was too hard to pass up. Hopefully they fit a little looser than last years model. I had a lot of issues with midfoot cramping, even when i went up half a size.
The purple colorway is the only one I like on the Lebron 21. The other Lebron 21 colorways look like clown shoes. I had to go up a full size in the Lebron 21 and Lebron 20. The Lebron 22 actually fits true to size. I have slightly wide feet. Love the flex in the forefoot of the Lebron 21, big selling point for me. Wish there was more cushion, but I solve that by putting a Move insole in these shoes, just as I did in the Lebron NXXT. I'm "O.G. HOOPER". My vidoes coming to RUclips soon. ; )
The carbon fiber in the 20 wasn’t much a performance carbon fiber cuz how small it was. If it was a kobe carbon fiber shank than it would be a downgrade
I have to try these on. I have a feeling I will ❤️ them on feet. I am not in love with silhouette. I really really really want to like them. 😂 I saw these and I was like aww man. The last Lebron I had was the Lebron 10 and the Lebron 11 Christmas. I enjoyed hooping in the Soldiers. Great review I will give these a try
Great review Allen, thank you! Solid shoe, snug, but support is great, as are the materials. Unfortunately too rigid for me, too little forefoot flex. I put on my Puma Fusion Nitro Team’s afterwards and it felt like I went from playing on Timbs, to playing on a swift modern low top performance shoe. However, this is all personal preference, had the same issue with the latest Harden’s.
Filipino host? In weartesters?! Yes please more of this cause we pride ourselves in playing basketball so who better review a basketball gear than a filipino
He could be from another asian country, how you where he's from ..and you're hoop play is something to be proud of, you can't even make the olympics..y'all are born shorter🤣
I don't care what anybody says, there is no way these can top the Curry 11s. I'm not even a Curry fanboy, and I don't hate LeBron. This is just my opinion. Got the 11s today and I'm in love.

I had to return it. The tongue digged into my foot and it was so hard it started bleeding. It was awful. You probably didnt experience it due to your ankle brace 😮

Another great review from Allen, it's good to see him back. Keep up with the great content!
Great review. Talked me into the 21s. Exactly what I’m looking for in a shoe
Sweet looking colorway, I wear these casually and appreciate how comfortable Lebrons are. Nice review as always 👍🏾

Us wide footers have such a hassle trying to get performance basketball shoes that fit right.
I had get 9.5 from my regular 9 and the 9.5 fits better

Update?
any update on lebron 21?
Great job Alan!
Nice review Allen!
After watching your video I’m ready to buy them😅😅😅 thx❤❤
2:42 the tape looks real
I love Mid/Top shoes. KD14 being my favorite. Can you recommend another top tier cushion mid top shoe that would rival KD14 cushion/traction
What’d you end up getting?
I tried Lebron 21s and didnt feel secure in them. Im still rocking multiple pairs of KD14s. Havent found anything better.
@@jubyloo2 interesting that you say that though because I have the KD14’s which I like but it seems like your higher off the ground in those than any other shoe.
First here with guy Allen . Great work like always
Great review. I think I'm going to end up needing a pair.

Hey can you give an update?
you think how long will the outsole last if i use it for outdoor use
Bought mine today for just 80€. Can't wait to play in the gym ❤
Grabe sobrang detailed
What would be good shoes to get for a medium sized guard lebron XXI or Nike gr cut 3
First here with you Allen. Awesome and great work.

Thank god for the thicker laces cuz on my 20s the laces fell apart the last time I went to tie em
I got these but when I’m playing I noticed a lot of rubbing on the inside ankle area on my feet and left blisters, do I just need to break them in or have you noticed that aswell?
If you have wide feet your going to hate this shoe. 🤣 The Tahitian colorway is pretty dope though.
I had to go full size up
Are the materials and built of Nike's big boys' basketball shoes identical to the same one in men's?
Bring back leather uppers
Man Iv been looking for your brandblack rare metal shoes for 4 years now .
Lebron lost his shoe in a game… put it back on and ran for a dunk lol

i just bought the 21s andd have no issues with that

Pretty much the 20 with better material; BUT they replaced the carbon fiber with plastic......so is it REALLY better?

True size or go half up?
Just got mine today I love the quality of the upper but I wear sz 11 ordered 11.5 and they are still snug I need to go for a 12
Yeah its a super good shie but i have the white one and i got som scrapes on the leather and i cant wash it off thats the only thing i didnt like
Noti gang🫡🫡🫡
Do they put extra room for that toe on top of his foot?
I found I don't need to double knot and they stayed tied for two hours of scrimmages
Ae 1 or lebron 21?

I wanna wear these 😮
Lebron sizing needs to be cut by the Jordan factory. For 2E wide feet gotta go up 1 full size... so pass on lebrons
ayy my guy was out there cookin'
found them on sale for 63 dollars lol
