The Nike Zoom Lebron 2 was the second signature shoe released under the Lebron name. These shoes blew away the Air Zoom Generations on so many levels and are still today argued to be the best Lebron shoes ever made. These featured a double stacked Zoom Air unit underneith the entire shoe. The shoe also had far more support than before with a stiffer sole. Nike went a little crazy with the laser machine and lasered Lebron’s LJ23 logo and King James lion logo on the shoe as well as other accents.
The low cuts were a huge success. These sold better than any Jordan low that I can remember. The low cuts also had a very striking resemblance to the mid cut version sold earlier in the year.
For his 20th birthday, Nike released an online exclusive “Birthday” Lebron 2s. These were all black and made of a premium quality of leather.
