In preparation for the playoffs, LeBron James ensured that he had the perfect footwear. The Elite Series provided him with the necessary updates in terms of materials and construction. Specifically, the LeBron 11 Elite model incorporated Hyperposite panels all over the upper, effectively imitating the appearance of molded casing while simultaneously providing enhanced protection and support. The upper predominantly showcased Wolf Grey tones on the Hyperposite and Hyperfuse mesh paneling, with Crimson accents bringing a touch of vibrancy to the sockliner, branding, and outsole.
