LeBron James has shared quite a few special PEs on the hardwood since the beginning of this year’s NBA season. Today, we take a look at a new colorway that’s set to hit shelves this month. Dressed in all black, the Nike LeBron 16 “I’m King” iteration welcomes subtle hints of metallic gold along the heel, tongue signature and medial side Swoosh branding. This new design also pays homage to LeBron’s royal moniker (King James), so its fitting that the tonal debossed “I’m King” lettering are seen at the back panel.

The Nike LeBron 16 “I’m King” retails for $185 USD and will arrive on December 15 at select Nike Basketball stockists and Nike SNKRS. In related news, James also dressed up his 16th signature model in yellow and black last month against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
