Like his friend Chris Paul, LeBron James is dedicating a colorway of his signature sneaker to Martin Lawrence’s iconic 90s sitcom Martin.
The upcoming Nike LeBron 16 bears a purple Battleknit upper, contrasting crimson and yellow laces, a black heel and graphic work inspired by the show’s famous intro, posters, and DVD covers. Longtime friend Frankie Walker confirmed the nod to Martin, James’ favorite TV show, on Instagram.
