Note: This review is specifically for the Black/White/Univ. Red colorway pair of Lebron 17s. These are my 3rd pair of Lebron 17s, hence the title. I have had these for about 10 months and I thought to wait and give the shoes a chance of breaking in/getting better before rushing into writing a review that may be scathing. Pros: They are sturdy, durable and of course, they look extremely great under any circumstance - casual/fashionable wear or on the court. Cons: In stark contrast to the other Lebron 17 designs that I own, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for medium- to extended periods of time, especially because of the stiff upper part, and the stiff faux tongue that is included in this design but absent in others. This inflexible upper area causes bunching on the instep, which cuts into the wearer's feet and causes pain when walking, running or jumping, and also deformation of the shoes. Also, the laces are a bit of a hassle to deal with in comparison to others in the same line. Certainly they look great but I am a giving a low rating because what are great looking shoes that are uncomfortable to do the most basic - walk - in?
