Where to Buy the Nike Air Zoom Generation “First Home Game”

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.

Dubbed the “First Game” colorway, this release returns in 1:1 tooling to the original, with White, Midnight Navy, and Varsity Crimson colors all present, the first colorway of the first shoe worn by James in an NBA regular season home game. The release goes a step further by adding the date of the game — “11-5-2003” — stitched to the inner collar in gold.

Of course, the first shoe worn by King James was the white/black iteration against the Kings in Sacramento on October 29th, 2003.

Enjoy a first and official look at this commemorative Nike Air Zoom Generation “First Home Game“ below, and look for these to hit select Swoosh retailers and Nike.com on March 21st for $180.

If you’re planning on picking up a pair on the day, make sure you head to our dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar to set yourself a reminder for the drop.
