Simultaneously celebrating the 20th anniversary of his partnership with The Swoosh, Nike has fully indulged in carving out the four-time Champion’s retro business, headlined this year by the Air Zoom Generation.
Reintroduced to the ecosystem via the colorway James wore in his first-ever home game in Cleveland, his debut signature tooling will additionally embark upon an exploratory slate of all-new color blockings such as this Wednesday’s release of the pair’s “Wolf Grey” ensemble.
