About to embark on his 20th NBA season, LeBron James is already hitting the hardwood in preparation for his fifth Championship campaign. Running concurrently to that milestone is his 20th signature Nike sneaker, the Nike LeBron 20 — or LeBron XX — which has been spotted several times throughout the off-season, including practices, summer leagues, and on the feet of young Bronny and Bryce. But as we’ve come up close with the pair, it appears that — for the most part — releases look back on the Chosen One’s storied career, from his first championship in Miami to this Nike LeBron 20 “The Debut,” which appears to commemorate the King’s first home game in Cleveland.
Driven by the title’s story, the pair looks to Cleveland’s home court kit from 2003, with white engineered mesh uppers atop a jet black underlayer and gold-and-burgundy Swooshes that directly reference the franchise. The special floral detailing on the forefoot alludes to the blossoming of a brilliant career, while an icy blue outsole sits underfoot to expose a black and red midfoot shank as one final reference to the Cavs.
