Nike Air Zoom Generation

Designed by Tinker Hatfield, Eric Avar and Aaron Cooper, the Air Zoom Generation is the inaugural shoe in LeBron James’ signature series. The silhouette takes aesthetic inspiration from the Hummer H2 James drove as an 18-year-old, pairing a molded mesh upper with a Phylon midsole. An encapsulated Air bag in the heel and a responsive Zoom Air unit in the forefoot provide impact cushioning, while a carbon fiber shank plate delivers torsional rigidity.
