Nike LeBron XXIII “Good Intentions” Launching 03/03 Colorway: HYPER PINK/BLACK-ALABASTER-BLACK Style: Basketball Shoes

LeBron James isn't just the king of the court — he's a cultural powerhouse whose influence extends beyond the game. He's vocal in social justice conversations and speaks out about the importance of education. Enter the Lebron XXIII "Shut Up & Dribble," an epic new drop from Nike that flips a once derogatory phrase into a badge of defiance and empowerment. This new men's release brings improved traction features for quick court movements as well as a slick black and gold color palette. 

Key Features of the LeBron XXIII "Good Intentions"

With the LeBron XXIII, Nike is focused on telling the story of King James' career in 23 memorable installments. For example, the "Uncharted" colorway honored LeBron's status as the first NBA player to score 40,000 career points in the regular season. "Miami Twice" memorialized LeBron's back-to-back NBA championships and MVP awards with the Miami Heat. And the latest release — the Nike LeBron XXIII "Good Intentions" — commemorates LeBron's decision to sign with the Heat back in 2010.

For the LeBron XXIII series, Nike engineered big improvements in cushioning and stability. The shoes feature a full-length ZoomX foam drop-in midsole for comfort and the unique Crown Containment System for stability. A carbon fiber shank and multi-directional traction pattern further enhance stability and court feel.

"Good Intentions" drops in grade school sizing: These are signature LeBron James high-performance, maximum-style sneakers intended for boys or girls.

Why Kids and Fans Love This GS Release

LeBron James's storied career has seen him excel for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. The "Good Intentions" colorway pays tribute to his decision to join the Heat in 2010, where he won his first two championships. The connection to landmark moments in King James's career gives every pair of boys' and girls' LeBron XXIII basketball shoes immense crossover appeal, with narrative power that enhances collectibility alongside the on-court performance and off-court style we've come to expect from LeBron's signature sneakers.

The LeBron XXIII series is known for its intricate detailing. The "Grand Opening" colorway featured a lion's face pattern and a throwback to the look and logo for LeBron's first signature sneaker with Nike. The "Best in Class" colorway combined NYC iconography and the LeBron logo in a tribute to the 2003 NBA draft (staged in New York, featuring LeBron as the #1 pick). Expect the "Good Intentions" colorway to feature the same thoughtful and detailed design, giving extra depth and meaning to the storytelling embedded in the shoe.

At the same time, the shoes reflect LeBron's winning combination of style, performance and work ethic. LeBron XXIIIs are sneakers built to support quick cuts and hard stops, to cushion and protect the most famous feet in basketball. These are work-hard, play-hard shoes that can handle whatever kids throw at them, on and off the court.
