FAQs
What does BBZ stand for?
BBZ represents the initials of LeBron James's three children: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri.
Is this shoe intended for outdoor basketball?
While the rubber outsole is durable, the construction is quite heavy compared to modern shoes, so it is best used as a lifestyle sneaker.
How do I keep the university red color looking vibrant?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight for extended periods and store them in a cool, shaded area to prevent color fading.
Are these shoes true to size?
The LeBron 3 typically offers a secure, lockdown fit. Most users find them true to size, but those who prefer extra toe room may consider a half-size up.
What is the significance of the 330 on the eye-stays?
The 330 represents the telephone area code for Akron, Ohio, which is LeBron James's hometown.
Can I use leather conditioner on the shoe?
Yes, you can use a high-quality leather conditioner on the leather panels to keep them supple, but avoid applying it to the suede or patent leather areas.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the leather's tension and prevent deep set-in creases.
Scuffing on suede panels
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dedicated suede cleaning eraser to gently lift the nap and remove surface marks.
Surface dirt on patent leather
Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened slightly with water. Avoid abrasive sponges which can scratch the glossy surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this shoe features a delicate mix of materials, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. To clean the leather and patent leather sections, wipe them down gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. For the suede components, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to remove light scuffs and dirt. Always store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant colors from fading over time. When not in use, using shoe trees can help the upper maintain its shape and minimize deep creasing.
