Some of you may wonder how the design of the new Nike Zoom Lebron IV came about. At Kix-Files, they have a little write up on the idea, design, and the execution of the shoes. The specs on the new Lebrons are that it is made of Foamposite technology integrated on the upper and midsole for comfort. The Foamposite actually acts as a shrink wrap that helps cool your foot. For movement and response, a full-length Zoom Air unit was added in the midsole, while the outsole consisted of rubber herringbone pods for great traction on the court.
