Featuring the latest in Nike technology, the Nike LeBron 18 features an Air Max unit in the heel and a full-length Zoom Air pocket. Nike's journey back to the drawing board has resulted in thinner layers of knit giving the LeBron 18's already lighter construction a slight reduction in weight. The tongue itself is semi-fixed to the low top, so it's a bit like a regular sneaker tongue, but with tongue straps under the eyelets. Underfoot, the Lebron 18 features a Cushlon midsole, rear Air Max unit and a full-length Zoom Strobel.
