Early in the 2023-34 NBA season, James turned heads when he debuted a different version of the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen. While many of us assumed it was a player-exclusive colorway, it is considered a different model.

According to its product description, the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD features the same technology as its counterpart. The only noticeable changes are aesthetics. The model's open-hole mesh upper has been replaced with leather, and the Swoosh logos are rearranged to overlap.

Online shoppers can choose between the "First Game" and "I Promise School" colorways for $170 in adult sizes on the Nike website. James plays for the Los Angeles Lakers, but his dedication to Ohio is evident with the first two colorways of these sneakers.

At this point in his career, every time James steps on the court, it makes basketball and footwear history. The amount of heat coming from the Nike LeBron sneaker line makes us all witnesses. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news from the sports world.
