After officially revealing the Nike LeBron 21 in accordance with the Nike World Basketball Festival, The Swoosh has provided yet another detailed look at LeBron James’ 21st signature silhouette –cured in tonal “Melon Tint” hues.

Fatherhood and LeBron’s role as a nurturer for his youngest daughter Zhuri serves as the model’s mainstay inspiration – brought to life through the orange sherbet upper’s pearlescent finish. Further faint orange shades inject the tongue, oval laces, inner lining, midsole and tread with complimentary color matches. Golden metallic contrasts illuminate the upper eyestays and the lace dubrae while a more vibrant orange tone animates the embroidered trim of the profile swooshes, the tongue’s cursive signature and the heel counter’s embroidered detailing. What’s more, the model’s synonymous connection with the protective nature of a clamshell renders a marbled treatment along the Zoom-loaded heel and its presiding upper panel.

Enjoy a detailed look at the Nike LeBron 21 “Melon Tint” below as we await further release details in the meantime.
