Last night the upstart Utah Jazz defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 130-116. However, there were a few positive takeaways for Lakers fans. First, LeBron James inched closer to becoming the NBA's all-time scoring leader. Additionally, James debuted a new colorway of his signature Nike shoe.

James' 20th signature shoe, the Nike LeBron 20, has been a revelation. During a time when old-school lifestyle sneakers reign supreme, James' performance basketball shoes are making a solid case for the best new model of the year.

We wrote last week that the Nike LeBron 20 is taking over the league. Everyone from James' teammates to rivals is wearing the low-top basketball shoes. Below is everything fans need to know about the hoop shoes.

The Nike LeBron 20 launched in September 2022 for $200. James has worn multiple colorways on the court. At the same time, Nike has released three colorways, with many more on the way. Fans can shop the entire LeBron James collection on Nike's website.

Currently, we do not know if the shoes worn by James last night were a player-exclusive (PE) or a preview of a general release colorway. Our fingers are crossed that fans get a chance to purchase the black, gold, and purple shoes - but only time will tell.
