LeBron’s First-Game Sneakers Are Returning in 2023
Nike will continue their 20th-anniversary celebration of LeBron James’ signature sneaker line with a special-edition reissue of his first-ever NBA shoe, the Nike Air Zoom Generation.
Also dubbed the “First Game” colorway, this release returns in 1:1 tooling to the original, with White, Black, and Varsity Red colors all present. The first colorway of the first shoe worn by James in an NBA regular season game, it would be the shoe where James would score his very first NBA point, the first of a record-breaking run in which he passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 earlier this season.
Enjoy a first look at the 2023 retro of the Nike Air Zoom Generation “Debut“ below, and look for these to hit select Swoosh retailers and Nike.com later this year for $180.
