Early Look: Nike LeBron 24 "Chosen 1"

LeBron James keeps the Nike LeBron 24 colorways coming.

Although the Nike Basketball decided to scale the silhouette's rollout down relative to the LeBron 23, the lightest Nike LeBron sneaker ever is still important to the Swoosh's performance catalog and LBJ's legacy as it continues to showcase a commitment to innovation more than 20 years into the partnership.

Many of the four-time NBA champion's footwear has been rooted in storytelling and the LeBron 24 is no different.

Recently, the modern hoops shoe emerged in an eye-catching "Tour Yellow/Midnight Navy/White/Metallic Gold" color scheme that's being dubbed "Chosen 1" by early leakers of the pair. With this nickname, it seems James and the Swoosh are commemorating the moniker Sports Illustrated gave to a teenage LeBron on the cover of its Feb. 18, 2002 issue.

Stay tuned for firm details on the backstory of the shoe, official photos, and a Nike.com launch in Men's and Big Kids' sizing—which should take place around Tuesday, Dec. 1.
