As LeBron James approaches his 20-year-anniversary with Nike, he returns to where it all began - St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School. James and his family have spent quality time together in Akron, Ohio, this week. First, James youngest son, Bronny, recreated one of his dad's dunks. A few days later, an adorable video of James lifting up his daughter, Zhuri, to dunk went viral.

The significance of the location was not lost on the ever-mindful James. He used the opportunity to tease fans with the Nike LeBron 20. Last week, we got our first sneak peek at the 20th installment of James' signature sneaker line.

Details on the Nike LeBron 20 remain scarce. Nike has yet to release official images, pricing, or a release date. However, we know that the LeBron line usually releases its newest models in late Summer or early Fall.

However, the Nike LeBron 20 is already taking a different approach than previous models. It is a low-cut model that usually comes after a high-top version is released first.

If fans look close enough, they can see a large swoosh sitting on both the medial and lateral sides of the shoe. It appears that Nike is sticking with a lightweight, breathable knit upper and leather around the tongue embroidered with James' signature.
