Nike LeBron 21 "Tahitian" Is Dropping Later This Fall
With an official November release date.
As the NBA season is just around the corner, Nike is gearing up for a string of releases for the upcoming Fall season. Going into his 21st season, LeBron James is ready to step onto the court in style, already showing off some of the latest colorways during practice. So far, the LeBron 21s have surfaced in “Akoya” (for its debut colorway), “Pearlescent Orange” and a Prince-inspired hue fit for King James, “Purple Rain.” Now, the “Tahitian” iteration has surfaced, inspired by Tahitian pearls, also known as Black pearls, that are mostly found around the French Polynesian islands from Black-lip oysters.
The basketball shoe takes on a black, particle grey, wolf grey and pink rise color combination. The shoe’s upper is mostly constructed in a black suede, highlighted throughout the shoe and the signature perforations on the side. The Swoosh is also in the same shade and material with white embroidery outlines to accent the branding. Continuing the black pearl theme, details are iridescent and are seen on the heel, complementing the signature pearl-like bubble. The shoe sits atop a black midsole and green translucent outsole to round out the shoe.
The Nike LeBron 21 “Tahitian” arrives on November 3 at select retailers and online at Nike for $200 USD.
In other footwear news, the Air Jordan 38 “Light Marine” has an official release date.
