For me, the 21 is the best LeBron shoe I’ve ever played in. And I’ve played in most of them since the LeBron 8. It’s a more refined version of the 20, which was already amazing. The cushion and traction setup is so elite and it isn’t bulky like pretty much all of the LeBrons prior to it. Here in a couple months every single colorway is going to be under 100 bucks and I think it’s a massive steal for that price
I gotta agree. LeBrons are generally comfortable, I’ve played in most since the 8s as well with the exception of the 9s and 17s. 13s were probably the worst imo. But the 21s refined what they got right with the 20. Great shoe, in just about every respect.
Agree, this is the first shoe I’ve tripled up on since the Harden Vol 2 (and these are way better than those). I can take either the 20 or 21 on any day, but I usually go for my 21s more often because of the extra security. When I want to feel a bit quicker I’ll go 20 but both are the best shoes I’ve played in in recent memory (and I’ve played in a LOT of shoes).
@jrdatrackstar harden 2s were a great looking shoe. I literally played in them once (didn’t hate them or anything just didn’t really get to play in them). Same though, I love both shoes, just from a design perspective, they changed everything up and they played really really well.
I have this exact color way. I find these shoes to be perfect for basketball. The main issue I had was the material is extremely prone to scuffs, especially if you want to play basketball in them. I personally don’t care, it’s just kind of annoying if you want to casually wear them.
The Zoom Turbo is 6mm and the heel Zoom is 13mm. I wish they would increase it to 8mm in the forefoot, these would be the greatest shoe ever with that (though I know they would not because of weight).
Yepppp, I noticed after I finished the video of course 😂 so what confused me was the writing on the left side (of the tech card), it says 8mm, but then it’s actually typed on the right… reading is fundamental. Either way, 6mm was good enough, 8mm woulda been crazy lol
@@thereviewd Haha no worries, and yea man 8mm would literally make this the last shoe I’d ever need (unless they found a way to make them lighter). Love all your reviews and your style!
Got this exact pair for the same price, and they really let me down. Hurt my Achilles 3 seperate times cause the shoe would bite the floor and then slide, and whatever that shiny leather material is, burns easily for someone who drags. Gotta stick to my KDs😞
@@thereviewd everything else about them was top tier; The bounce was unmatched. But when I tighten them up, the metal eyelet grinds into my ankle. Broke them in for weeks.
If there is anything I missed or anything you’d like to know about the LeBron 21, leave a comment! Thanks for watching!

21 was amazing. The Bron line has taken an amazing turn since the 20.
100% agree, such a great follow up!
Fireee keep going
Your so underrated
Thank you so much!!!
Not sure why the Tahitian get the least amount of love. It’s the best colorway of the shoe imo.
It's definitely the most deceiving but I agree it's probably my favorite. The upper looks like velor but is a shiny pearlescent material.

The scuffing was so bad. I couldn't make my thumbnail because of it.

😂😂😂 that Vince McMahon meme is what comes to mind (I’ll post it) when you get a new LeBron shoe and read the tech specs lol I really appreciate it!!!

Oh no! Sorry they let you down. I got the kds too…$65! I played in them last week, a little bulky but I also went a whole size up.
Under $100 = hell yes!!!
Gotta love those discounts!!
These were going for about 60 in some outlets
😳…personally I’d get multiple pairs without a doubt.
Same I got these and the purple ones for $54
They're a great shoe!
I’ve seen the kd16s at 80 aswell. Is that a good deal?
I got them for $65!! I’d wait, they have a discount code that might work SUMMER25. But you can get the KDs for cheaper.
The tongue on the 21s literally digs into my shins making it uncomfortable for me specially the akoya colorway
Try keeping it folded outwards for a few seconds every time u wear them .
I did notice they’re a little stiff at first but I didn’t have that issue.
I’ve returned two pairs.
They hurt my ankle bone.
Ah no!! Stupid question, thats even with regular socks?? I had the issue the 19s and that collar. But those were pretty high on the ankle.

@dax_what that really stinks, I agree though absolutely top tier. Loved playing in them, they did pretty well in every aspect for me.
Dude I had the exact same issue with Lebron NXXT. My ankle's skin was bleeding from the ankle collar. Trying to return them now.
If you got them from nike, they have a 60 day wear test return policy no questions. They're pretty great in that respect.
Got mine at $73 :O
Even better!
