The Nike LeBron 21 "Melo Melo" Releases October 19

First teased earlier this year, the Nike LeBron 21 is finally here, embodying a narrative as vibrant and captivating as the colorways the series is known for.

Rooted in the intricate and nurturing nature of pearls, the shoe serves as a deeply personal tribute from LeBron James to his daughter Zhuri. It aims to symbolize the protective and nurturing role that LeBron plays in Zhuri's life, much like the strong yet beautiful shell of a pearl that safeguards its precious interior.

As modern footwear leans toward artistic expression, LeBron James' signature line stands as a trailblazer. The Nike LeBron 21 in this striking pearlescent orange is no exception. Its premium patent leather shell overlay in sherbert orange sets a vibrant stage for the shoe's intricate narrative, further amplifying the pearl inspiration behind the design.

Accents like the eye-catching "Campfire Orange" Swoosh overlays and brand markings add layers of visual contrast, while detailed 3D heel embroidery and carefully selected hardware contribute to the shoe's aesthetic richness.

An official release date has been penned for October 19, with select Nike Hoops stockists and Nike.com retailing pairs for $200.
