Have you looked at all of the lebron signature models recently?
I own the 11s and 12s and the upper is predominantly one piece hyperfuse-type material with pieces of posited material for support. I believe the 13 is similar as well.
If you compare this to earlier Lebron models, it definitely seems less expensive to manufacture. After the 11, they started cutting back the amount of Zoom used as well when they went to hex Zoom. On top of that they dropped the full length Lunarlon from the 11 as well.
Ehhh I can't agree especially since we have seen the different materials on the 11s and the 12s.
You couldn't get me to agree that it's more expensive to create the earlier lebrons either.
The zoom generation was pretty simple. Same as the 2 and the 3.
The 4 is a foamposite and the v wasn't mostly leather either.
You can go down the line and I wouldn't think the design was limited by any means.
