The 21st chapter of the Nike LeBron saga has just turned its first page as the debut “Akoya” colorway recently hit retail. Up next is the “Purple Rain” iteration later in October, followed by this Black/Particle Grey iteration in early November.

The aesthetic of the LeBron 21 is inspired by oysters and their prized pearls, and several of the confirmed releases will fall in line with this design concept. Such is the case for this upcoming release, which is said to be inspired by the Tahitian Pearl. The most valuable of these darker pearls typically emanate shades of a peacock, seen in the iridescent heel panel. The exterior also features a synthetic that mimics the natural shine of an oyster shell.

This LeBron 21, which was recently on display at the Nike World Basketball Festival in NYC, is expected to drop on November 3rd, 2023 in both adult ($200) and GS ($160) sizes.
