You have a fantastic review method. Giving weights and scores to different aspects of the shoe is refreshing

I know everyone cant afford new equipment, but you would def go up a notch with some better audio. Even if you have a phone, and you can take the audio from your phone, and sync It with the audio from your camera, it will come out 1000* better. No hate, coming from a place of love, and wanting you to grow! GL

My bro, this was one of THE most thorough and detailed review I've seen in a long time. I know it took a long time to edit, but I appreciate the hard work you put into it. - I'll definitely get this colorway and the denim one as well. Keep the vids coming! All success to you. - Salute from Michigan

I was about to go buy the queen conch today. But I saw your review last night, and after reading comments, I decided it might not be worth it anymore.

Yeah , the shoes play nice, but the lack of outsole durability was a huge deal personally for me.

Brooo the traction!! 😭😩 The same exact thing happened with the Lebron XX Chosen 1 colorway!! The traction was immaculate at first…as everyone raves about in their reviews…….but relatively quickly over time it started wearing and turning ashy purple like your friend’s with the purple Lebron 21 colorway!! Nobody tells you about that in their reviews. 😐👎🏾😂 The traction quickly became so bad that I started having slip outs atleast once or twice a night whenever I’d wear them for runs. I had a slip out so bad that I almost hurt my knee……this was the deciding moment for me. I told myself I’m never hooping in them again and told my friend (as he was helping me up off of the ground) that I was selling them. 😂😂 I was so done with them. I got home, cleaned them up, washed them, air dried them, took pictures, and had the listing live on eBay the very next morning LMAO!! Sold those boys and had them shipped off before the end of the damn week. 😭😭😭😭

Brah! And its not that hard of a problem to fix. They should really do better.

@grahamcarmichael6567 4 ай бұрын

Man, I had this same thing happen to me with the Lebron 20 black/gold color way. Within about a month I started slipping out and slipped like 5 times while playing. I had never slipped in any other shoes so I didn’t know what was going on. I washed the bottom of the shoes to clean the dust off, and that helped, but you shouldn’t have to wash the bottom of your shoes after every time you play. Nike is so cheap, they use trash materials and charge top dollar. The 20’s were also way too narrow and hurt my feet. I ended up just tossing them in the trash after 2 months.

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. A friend also bough a pair and complained as well. He said it took about 5 runs to break in. I'm to old for that. Recommend the Curry 24 Splash Jam & the Puma Scoot Pro Nitro. You can just put these on and ball with no break in required. Those are my type of shoe !

This is awesome. Do you find the patent leather folding into your foot in a way thats painful or uncomfortable?

LeBron 21 fits snug, do you need go half size up or 1 size up for casual wearing?

You should be fine going true to size.

I just had a question about the algae colorway. Are the rug-type material on these shoes good/bad? And how do they compare to other materialed 21s. Like is the algae colorway’s material less durable, more hot, easier to scuff, heavier, etc. THANKS IN ADVANCE

@theshoesayer 24 күн бұрын

The algae upper isnt bad at all. weight isnt an issue. Also it actually hides scuffs and creases in comparison to the patent leather and normal leather variants respectively. The green colorway means you can also get away with some dirt on your shoe, increasing the intervals between cleaning. Only thing that time will tell in terms of durability is if the threads will start to come off eventually, or if the material in the toe box will wear overtime, especially if you play with a lot of toe drags on an outdoor court but thats a risk that you face with all upper types because there isnt a separate fuse section or wear resistant material in the toebox for the 21s . When I played in my pair, they stayed intact. Finally, ventilation isnt the best, but its the same for other uppers as well. You should be fine if you play indoors with air conditioning.
