Back in December 2017, Nike teased the return of its Zoom LeBron 3 model in its OG colorway of “Black/Metallic Gold”; today, we receive official imagery of King James‘ comeback model, signalling that a release date is just around the corner.

Staying true to the original 2006 version, the 2018 Nike Zoom LeBron 3 Retro features a black nubuck and leather upper, glossy black patent accents at the straps and Swoosh, metallic gold detailing at the lace eyelets, Swoosh outline, lion head branding at the tongue, and LeBron’s original LJ23 logo at the medial side. Rounding out the model is a black midsole with a metallic gold Zoom Air unit, while a satin black inner lining and embossed detailing throughout add luxurious finishes.

We’ve yet to receive an official release date, but the Nike Zoom LeBron 3 Retro “Black/Metallic Gold” is expected to drop before the end of the year for $175 USD at Nike’s web store.

In the meantime, check out the Nike Kyrie 4 “Day of the Dead” colorway for another 2006 returning colorway.
