"I just want to be able to wear them," James told ESPN.com. "It has been a frustrating process. But obviously, I know that Nike wants to do what's best. They're not going to put me out there in harm's way. So we're redefining the shoe to fit what's best for my foot."
So as LeBron waits for redefinition, he’ll continue wearing his old shoes. Interestingly, the Wall Street Journal reports that LeBron not wearing the new edition of shoes hasn’t hurt sales. In fact, sales are up 18 percent compared to the same point last year.
The new LeBron 11 is the lowest cut of sneaker that James has worn to date.
