Matt Varga Cover your ears, Michael Rubin, or anyone whose NBA offseason is hinging on where The King holds court next. No, despite the rumors about what could take place during his various panel and podcast appearances, LeBron James did not make his free agency decision in front of a live studio audience. However, with some assistance from Steven Victor, he’s in the headlines all the same.
Yes, for that hotly anticipated taping of “Mind The Game,” James reached for a never-before-seen version of Victor Victor’s Nike Air Force 1 Low ’01. A “Color of the Month”-esque group of colorways has been a fixture on our front page throughout 2026 as a wide release awaits in Fall 2026. The trappings from those previously shown pairs, including a dog logo on the heel and a classic two-tone palette, remain for this fittingly royal flip.
However, it continues a star-laden rollout plan, one that’s included the founder himself teasing a proud red edition. Otherwise, Steven has leaned on a fellow Victor, Wembanyama, to debut the yellow and the black pairs. It’s hard to imagine who could top getting The Kid From Akron involved, but there’s one more we’ve yet to see.
Again, Sneaker News can confirm that the Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 ’01 is in the works for a late-summer/early-fall launch. Check out this latest chapter below.
