Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “Light Orewood” Releases May 1st

Over the past twenty years, LeBron James has made sure his signature sneaker line encompasses high-performance options that are also affordable. These budget-friendly alternatives have consistently ranked among Nike Basketball's top on-court offerings, such as the Zoom Soldier and Witness 7. His next creation, aptly named the Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Gen, reflects the signature model with sleek lines, lightweight construction, and vivid colors. For its next upcoming release, Nike has chosen a soft palette, delivering a "Light Orewood Brown" colorway with pops of paired pastels.

Cloaked primarily in the titular color, the neutral-toned release is enriched with a luxurious textured accent at its mudguard, tongue tab, and heel counter, featuring faux reptile leather. Complemented by a "Sail" treated sole unit underfoot, the upper's embellishments begin to adopt a contrasting "Coral Chalk" hue at the mid-foot Swoosh and the tongue's LBJ branding. While jet-black stitching and a medial Swoosh offer occasional departures from the established palette, the tongue's edge and the downsized secondary Swoosh receive a signature orange finish.

Grab a first look at this new Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “Light Orewood” below, and look for these to hit select Swoosh stockists and Nike.com on May 1st for $160.
