Kicks In Action | Lebron In The Nike LeBron 17 Low ‘TUNE SQUAD’

LeBron James and the Lakers hit up the court last night (2/12/20) in Denver to play the Nuggets in an exciting game that saw the Lakers win 120-116 in overtime.

As impressive as Lebron’s stat line was, it was his sneakers that got just as much attention as he hit up the court in the ‘Tune Squad’ 17’s.

The shoe features a modified forefoot Zoom unit, massive heel Air Max unit, a heat-and-pressure combined Knitposite (essentially Battleknit 3.0) along with an inverted Swoosh by the midsole.
