Jovani Hernandez As LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers squad look to successfully defend their NBA title, the kid from Akron has seemingly slowed down on releases of his Nike LeBron 18. A kid’s-exclusive arrangement–complete with graffiti accents–may soon change that, however.
Flyknit uppers indulge in a medley of purple, pink and blue, with the most former tone reveling in the spotlight. The same palette appears in the Airbags throughout the tongue, while the Air Max unit underfoot indulges in a vibrant crimson hue reminiscent of what’s appeared on countless summer-ready propositions from NIKE, Inc. Elsewhere, the color scheme becomes tame as it applies black and white across molded structures at the heel and midsole cushioning. Tread underfoot deviates from most aforementioned colors in favor of an icy blue finish from midfoot to forefoot. The graffiti detailing appears briefly on the sockliners, boasting “JAMES GANG” text.
An official Nike.com release date is unknown, but this LeBron 18 may launch in early 2021. In any case, enjoy a first-look at the kids’ shoes here below.
