The Nike LeBron 20 'Chosen 1' features an orange dimensional knit mesh upper with a pink sphere liner collar. Further contrast is provided by the vivid purple and stacked Swoosh logos on the lateral sides of the shoes.

In Nike's product description, the brand compared James' career to pink diamonds as they "undergo enormous amounts of pressure during formation, only to flourish in the end."

Additionally, the rose-colored hue is a nod to the "growing number of accolades to signify that pressure can bust pipes—or make championship rings." With Los Angeles gearing up for James' return and another postseason run now is the ideal time to purchase these celebratory shoes before they are gone forever.
