LeBron's First Game Shoe is Dropping Again

Following the announcement that LeBron James‘ Nike Air Zoom Generation “First Game” will return to shelves, Nike Basketball is gearing up to reintroduce the model in its first signature colorway.

In celebration of the silhouette’s 20th anniversary, the Nike Air Zoom Generation “Debut,” last released in 2017, is slated to hit the court once again. As LeBron’s first game shoe, he famously wore the pair while playing against the Sacramento Kings in 2003.

The 2023 version of the Nike Air Zoom Generation “Debut” will stay true to the original, arriving with “White,” “Black,” “Varsity Red,” and “Metallic Silver” color notes. In addition, it will feature smooth white leather across the mudguards, toe boxes, and throats, while textured black textiles adorn the medials accompanied by red outlined Swooshes.

Glossy red windows embrace the heel counters and jump onto the tongues, completing the design with game-ready soles injected with Zoom Air technology.

Take a closer look at the LeBron Nike Air Zoom Generation “Debut” in the gallery above. The pair is expected to release via Nike and select retailers in Summer 2023 for $180 USD.
