Before the start of his 21st season in the NBA, Nike launched James' 21st signature sneaker. The Nike LeBron 21 officially hit shelves on September 28, 2023. Over the past two months, the shoes have been released in multiple colorways, which are available on the Nike website.

Currently, there is no confirmation that the "LeRasberry Lemonade" colorway will enjoy a general release. It could be one of the many fan-favorite sneakers that remains a player-exclusive. However, Nike has surprised loyal LeBron fans many times with unexpected sneaker releases.

The Nike LeBron 21 is sure to be another epic installment of James' signature line as its namesake continues to make history on the hardwood. Follow FanNationKicks.com for more updates on James' sneakers and all of your sneaker news from the sports world.
