LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Rich Paul, and Randy Mims make up the Four Horsemen, a tightly-knit group of friends from Akron, OH who have matured into well-rounded businessmen ready to take over the world. LeBron is the unquestionable centerpiece of this group as his success has opened doors for Carter (who manages the King’s business interests), Paul (an NBA agent representing Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, and more), and Mims (LeBron’s chief of staff), and throughout James’ career the Four Horsemen have managed to maximize the potential of their homegrown superstar while they get their ducks in a row for life after the NBA. This upcoming Nike LeBron 16 is a nod to the bond shared by these four men; you might recall previous PE releases bearing the Four Horsemen name on Air Force 1s and the like, but Nike is finally recognizing this braintrust with a special edition release that features the oversized chess piece on the tongue and their hometown and first initials on the insoles. Currently, a release is set for this month, but stay tuned for a firm release date.
