The Nike LeBron 21 Is Out Now
Some annual traditions never get old. Just like your favorite holiday, every time LeBron James enjoys a new sneaker launch, it still feels exciting. After breaking the league's all-time scoring record and celebrating two decades with Nike, there is nowhere else for the "Kid from Akron" to go but up.
That is exactly what happened in a promo video James shared on his Instagram account yesterday. The brief advertisement showed the Nike LeBron 21 lifting off into the sky before falling into the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers point forward.
Luckily for athletes and fans, James' 21st signature sneaker did take flight today. The Nike LeBron 21 launched in the "Akoya" colorway for $200 in adult sizes on the Nike website. Below is James' video and everything sneakerheads need to know about the performance basketball shoe.
Supporting the most explosive player in the NBA is not an easy task. That is why the Nike LeBron 21 features a lightweight mesh with a 360-degree zonal cabling system for optimal containment. The Zoom Air provides plenty of impact protection, while a top-loaded plastic plate creates a snappy feeling with each step on the court.
The final result is another low-cut model that gives hoopers agile fluidity and explosiveness without excess weight. The performance model was designed for the next generation of hoopers, but the launch colorway carries significant meaning.
Burnt orange contrasted by off-white celebrates the Akoya pearl with its perfect shapes and reflective nature. Its natural beauty and grace hold up across any era. James' game continues to age like fine wine, and so does his signature sneaker line. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
