4th of the Line: The Impact of the Fourth Shoe in Notable Signature Lines

LeBron James: Nike Zoom LeBron IV (2006)

LeBron’s fourth shoe might not have affected the entire industry like Kobe’s, but it set the tone for his own signature line. All three of his first models were composed of mostly leather and strictly for the basketball court. The Nike Zoom LeBron 4 was made up of a foamposite material and really started the signature’s array of colorways. Flywire was a long way away, but the LeBron 4s pioneered the King’s line into new materials.
