Sneaker News With nineteen signature shoes in, it’s only expected that Nike look back on two decades of the King on its footwear. This upcoming white/black/red colorway has been a mainstay in the Nike LeBron line all the way back to the Air Zoom Generation, and this continuing tradition hasn’t shied away from the limelight despite the King’s departure to the land of purple and gold. For this particular LeBron 19, Nike has applied a unique detail in the interior bootie that calls back to past designs by Jason Petrie, Ken Link, Eric Avar, Aaron Cooper, Tinker Hatfield, and all the other architects who have contributed to the King’s reign.
On the exterior is an all white mesh cage, with the Swoosh logo on the heel reversed as a nod to past designs. But beneath the exoskeleton is the inner bootie covered in a sketch mosaic that depicts nearly ever signature LeBron shoe of the past (we can easily make out the LeBron 2 and LeBron 3 at quick glance).
Full family sizes are expected to release on Nike.com and partnering retailers soon, so check out the official images of the adult pair below and stay tuned for updates. For more LeBron news, the LeBron 9 “Big Bang” is set to land in February.
