Original Story: LeBron James is in his 40s and remains one of the NBA’s most potent talents. The King is gearing up for his 23rd season in the league, one that will see a reignited (and in excellent shape) Luka Dončić and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers aim for a championship alongside James. In preparation for this, he has shared a workout video, highlighting not only his age-defying athleticism, but a new performance shoe as well.
The Nike LeBron 23 has been spotted for the first time on none other than James’ feet himself. An all-black weartest sample is worn by the superstar throughout his latest Instagram post, offering a rough idea of what to expect from the new design. Our limited first look at the low-top sees it sport new tooling that features an extended midsole in the shape of James’ crown logo at the lateral. No branding is visible, however, the retail version of the model is likely to feature nods to the Swoosh.
At the time of writing, neither LeBron James nor Nike Basketball have indicated when the LeBron 23 will be making its debut. Based on previous years, you can expect the new silhouette to be unveiled around the start of the NBA season in October, with a global launch taking place shortly thereafter. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete visual breakdown of the new shoe, and check it out in action via the Instagram post embedded below.
