Closer Look at the TITAN x Nike LeBron NXXT Gen Collab
Titled “TITAN Hoops Fair,” a tribute to Manila.
TITAN, a self-described basketball concept shop and barber shop in the Philippines has announced its fourth collaboration with Nike and LeBron James, this time using the LeBron NXXT Gen as the basis for its collaborative pair.
The latest sneaker, like past releases from TITAN brings with it a special meaning, in this case, marking the launch of the TITAN Hoops Fair, a weekend of art, music, fashion and basketball. TITAN’s LeBron NXXT Gen subsequently is named after the inaugural fair and according to the shop “takes inspiration from the country’s past to visualize the game’s future.”
Nike and TITAN’s latest shoe is full of fun design elements, all tied together into a retrofuture theme that sees details like holographic medial swooshes, graphic insole prints that show off the city, metal heel badges and an outsole tread that seemingly represents a map of Manila’s streets.
With hues of royal blue, crimson red, white and golden-yellow, which represent the nation’s flag, the TITAN Nike LeBron NXXT Gen is sure to be a standout pair on the courts.
For those in the city and looking to attend the TITAN Hoops Fair, festivities are set to begin on August 12 at The Courtyard Manila and are said to include a variety of tournaments, exclusive merch and surprise guest appearances.
The global launch of the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen “TITAN Hoops Fair” is set to take place the following day, August 13, for a retail price of $160 USD — with more information on TITAN’s official site.
