Lakers News: LeBron James Shares 1st Look at Latest Signature Shoe Addition
LeBron James is set to enter his 21st NBA season of his career this year and you already know that means a new shoe of his will be on the way or should we say multiple? The King already switched things up a great ordeal last season when he debuted his LeBron 20's and actually fully bought in on a low-cut, lightweight version of his shoe.
James' signature line with Nike has always been a great seller and that's part of the reason why he reportedly has a lifetime deal with the company. But his previous rollouts saw him stick to a high-top version of his sneaker that was a little bulkier and better suited him as a player.
However, he and Nike probably saw how the younger generation of hoopers gravitated towards Kyrie's and PG's (two sneaker lines that featured low and mid-cut designs). Therefore, James switched things up and his LeBron 20's hit the market and were instantly loved.
And now James has been teasing the next installation into his shoe line (LeBron 21's) and the internet is loving them as well. He recently rocked them in an offseason workout.
Many Twitter users replied and recognized how this new model resembles Kobe Bryant's old releases of his own signature sneaker. It's clear that Nike knows the formula and can tell what technology works to help enhance both looks and performance on the court.
James has a lot to look forward to this season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He is on the cusp of a number of huge statistical records, has a deeper roster around him than he has in years and could be another year closer to teaming up with his eldest son Bronny James.
It'll be a special year to see him wearing the LeBron 21's.
