I noticed that on Dick’s Sporting Goods, they listed them as the “LeBron 21 Textile”, so that’s very interesting to see! Edit: it looks like DSG put that label on the wrong shoe, but still very interesting!

There is going to be a mark that you will need to do the things like to buy food or to sell things but I want to tell you that do not do it. It may seem it is wroth it but if you take that mark you will go to hell and then there is no change if you take that mark. And also the people that want you to take it they will say stuff like if you take this mark you will for ever but if you take that mark you may live a little longer on earth but you will go to hell for ever and ever but if you stay with God and be faithful to him you will go to haven because. 1 you must accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior. 2 Roman’s 10 nine if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart and believe that God raise him from the dead you will be saved and if you don’t accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and live a life for him you will not go to heaven you will go to hell and you will be there for ever and if you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and live a life for him you will go to heaven for forever and Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life no one gets to the father except through him✝️❤️✝️

I love that Chris pointed out the refresh aspect of this colourway because, with brands popping out releases almost daily, I had forgotten nike basketball used to do this right about the end of the regular nba season going into the playoffs. I looked at the new colourways and all I could think was they're just new colourways.

Best thing about the “refresh” models is we get that heavy discount on the original model; I liked the LeBron 21 before but LOVED grabbing a pair recently for $80.😉 QotD: I have to say role player, just because it’s how I always see myself. I’m part of a collective with shared goals and reaching the absolute peak of those goals is rewarding in a different way. And yeah, not knowing who KCP is was wild to hear from Chris.😂

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. My friend also bought a pair and had the same complaint. He said it took about 5 runs to break in. I'm to old for that. Recommend the Curry 24 Splash Jam or the Puma Scoot Pro Nitro. Super comfy. You can just put these on and ball with no break in required. Those are my type of shoes !

This is probably the first colorway of the 21s that I’d consider getting. I love how simple it looks. I always thought I’d want to win a bunch of rings a role player but Chris talking about the endorsements and other post career moves has changed my thoughts on this. Not a QOTD but I’ve wondering, how do you remove an insole that’s glued in if you don’t have a hairdryer?

Interesting refresh. I was gonna say that layer of plastic doesn’t make it breathable…but then remembered the original had a second layer on top, so never mind. Heat welding those cables does beg the question, were they actually functional in the first place since that stiffer upper from the plastic coat is essentially providing the support. 🤷🏽♂️ As for the question of the day, I agree….from a business and money making standpoint, I’d rather be the star if not superstar player, simply because of everything Chris stated. The leverage and marketing opportunities Weill be abundant and you can parlay that to more because you’ll attain more access….look at what Steph is doing with his production company and his TV shoes he’s produced. The rings are great….look at Robert Horry…he’s got 7 rings, but he’s not making those same moves. I stand corrected….if I’m wrong. 🤷🏽♂️😁

These look solid, but I agree, the ones with the leather upper covers were a better shoe if priced the same. But seeing them at discount is always nice.

The Lebron's I had were actually the Floridians and I remember when I first saw those leak, I remember there was a white colorway as well that didn't release. Let me know if you remember that!

Rings are nice, but Chuck and Reggie seems to be doing nice for themselves. There's many folks that win rings that don't get into the Hall of Fame. Which could lead into a followup question: would you rather be a Hall of Famer with no rings, or a great player with a ring that's not in the Hall of Fame? Think Chris Webber vs. Chauncey Billups? (as of 4/2/24 - Chauncey is a finalist for the HOF, but not in just yet)
