So after playing ball in the X's for the second time I have arrived at the conclusion that these may be my favorite LeBron sig to date. Not counting the 20-5-5(One of my fav performers of all time) and soldier line my previous favorite LeBron performers included the 2, 8 ps and 9 Elite. Prior to getting the X my main concern was how the new max zoom would feel and perform. I'm a guard so full length max is too high off the ground for my liking(one reason why I didnt like the 8 V1 and V2). The X being zoom was responsive enough for me to change direction and make quick cuts. Everything about the X impresses me. From the great traction to lockdown to comfort especially no toe pinching or creasing. Im absolutely in love with this sneaker. JP and the team did it right with this one.
Sidenote: found it interesting that the insole on the Jades didnt have the usual LeBron logo stitched or printed on but rather has perforations that make up the LJ crown logo. Also great attention to detail with the diamond patterns on the tongue. When you lace up the third to last eyelet the laces fit right into the groove. I found that pretty cool. And the X tongue is 100X better than the 9 tongue.
I am so glad to hear that! I haven't balled in mine yet, but 20-5-5's, II's, 8 P.S. and 9 Elite are also my favorite balling shoes
