Sole was probably specially made for the King, LeBron kinda bow legged and probably somewhat flat footed or something.

I only wear them to work though..
Since I’m standing 90% of my day..

Could contain classified new Nike materials.

Not joking btw, Nike for example has a pair of running shoes for pro marathoners not available to the general public that they closely guard because it contains new materials they've developed. Kipchoge wore them when he broke the 2hr barrier.

Although Kipchoge wears a special version made for him, those shoes are available for $250 called the Vaporfly (4%). And they are definitely worth it!

Hardly any professional uses equipment that is available to the public.

They are to make him taller. I saw Lebron in off-season and he was only like 6'2 in person.
