Ahead of his first season with the LA Lakers, LeBron James has already picked out his kicks for his regular season debut. The new Nike LeBron 16 “King” is inspired by the African meaning of his name and first poster. Legacy and dominance are channeled through the ”Team Red” upper and metallic gold accents. Lastly, the heel sports pony hair as a reflection of James’s inner animal on-court.

The Nike LeBron 16 “King” arrives on October 18 at 10:30 pm EST for $185 USD, the exact start of the Lakers’ first regular season game on the road against the Portland Trailblazers. Browse the official shots above and let us know your thoughts. In more LeBron news, you can check out his latest conversation with Drake in the latest trailer for The Shop.
