For the past few years in particular, LeBron James’ Nike Basketball signature lineup has proven that cutting edge performance models can continue to reach spaceward in their composition and still look dope as streetwear. And just when you think it couldn’t get any hotter, the Swoosh roundball division gets up with the NSW lifestyle branch to create casually oriented luxury designs like the Nike LeBron X ‘Cork’. These lates images show us that like the Air Force 1 Bespoke before it, applying such an unorthodox material to a recognizable silhouette makes for the kind of wow factor that’s only amplified by the fact that they’re not at all flashy. A superb debut for the LeBron X NSW suggests great things to come, both if it can make the purported December drop date and as more of the Basketball x Sportswear sigs make themselves known. Have a closer look at all the details below including the sockliner quilting and stick with Sneaker News for updates.
