Lebron James, or now more commonly known as King James, has definitely dominated every aspect of his career, and that includes the sneaker game too. Sneakerheads all over the world were buzzing about the news of his latest signature shoe model, and now as we are approaching the launch date of the first colorway of the new model, which is tomorrow, we’re pretty sure the hype will be intense.
This is the lightest Lebron model to date, with the weight of only slightly above 400grams, Nike uses a new type of foams which is lighter and tougher called Hyperposite as the main construction of the shoe. A visible Lunarlon sole that is coupled with a Full Nike Zoom on the entire sole to help with cushioning and comfort, but yet still being able to feel the court. Lebron also wanted the shoe to be locked down to to his leg, like it is an extension of his leg hence the use of the Nike Flywire came into play.
Color wise, the shoe spots an iridescent golden color on most of the upper, which is why most people were calling it the “Armory Slate” up until Nike released some info on the shoe. The color name for the gold is “Parachute Gold” which is also the other nickname for the shoe, but Nike went with King’s Pride because it is a name which mirrors Lebron’s style of playing which is fearless, determined and ambitious.
The shoe drops tomorrow at selected Nike and Retailers stores nationwide.
