Ken Link: models and current offerings
Ken Link is associated at Nike with LeBron James's first signature shoes. In our selection there are over a hundred versions, spread across three models from that series. The focus is on the early entries, which have been reissued in recent years. They are listed together below, with prices, sizes and availability from multiple online stores shown side by side for each version.
What you’ll find here
The Air Zoom Generation is the first part of the line and still looks modest: a mid-top shoe with leather and mesh, a wide sole and a strap across the instep. The LeBron 2 continues that with heavier materials and more reinforcement at the sides, making it one of the heaviest shoes in the entire range. Both models mostly return in their original colorways.
The LeBron 23 belongs to the recent generation and uses lighter, knitted material and full-length cushioning. That puts two ends of the same line next to each other, with just over twenty years between them. The difference in weight and material use is therefore greater than in most other signature lines. Below you can filter by size, color and target audience to see what’s currently for sale.
Which Ken Link gives off the strongest hype signal?
The Hypescore reads the signal strength of every Ken Link colorway. Community votes, resale movement, search demand and scarcity together decide how much hype a sneaker gives off, expressed in GSv. On the left the strongest hype signals, on the right the colorways just being picked up and rising fast.
