Matt Varga We’re no strangers to colleges receiving special edition swag from the Swoosh (literally a day before this news, the Trojans got a USC Kobe 6 cleat). However, Nike gifting a fresh version of the LeBron TR 1 to Florida A&M athletes is a bit more noteworthy than your average PE.
For one, it solidifies the Swoosh’s focus on HBCU schools, seen with their yearly Yardrunner series, itself spawning the Air Force 1 “VUU Panthers” via program alum Dex Robinson. Charitable efforts come alongside a variety of increased product spotlights, with this years’ Air Jordan 1 Low “Howard University” a major highlight in that regard. However, this also marks the first special make-up for the LeBron TR1, a silhouette already notable as the King’s first step into off-the-court footwear.
Though the mix of all-white body and pine/orange detailing will assuredly remain exclusive to Rattler athletes, perhaps this gives a sense into how the LeBron TR1 can spread its wings palette and blocking-wise in the future, diverging from the mostly monochromatic looks that’ve marked general releases to date. Catch images of this PE pair included ahead.
