Red Covers the Nike LeBron 21 "James Gang"

The NBA Playoffs have begun, and LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are facing fierce competition as the Denver Nuggets took the first game of the series thanks to an explosive third quarter performance from Nikola Jokić and the rest of his crew. Per usual, James has been sticking to his latest signature shoe, the Nike LeBron 21, as he continues to lead the Lakers in his 21st season in the league.

As the sneaker continues to be embraced for its premium performance by James and his fans alike, Nike Basketball has presented a new “James Gang” colorway that we’ve yet to see James sport on-court. Kicking off the “James Gang” pair, its mixed material presentation carries an all-red finish that emphasizes the silhouette’s highly-detailed build. Its name comes from the special laces that read “JAMES GANG” throughout while standard LeBron 21 elements like the sockliner’s ring graphic are accompanied by a white and gold shoe box.

At the time of writing, this “James Gang” rendition of the Nike LeBron 21 has not been presented via Nike’s SNKRS platform just yet. However, it’s currently expected to release on May 3 via Nike and select retailers at a starting price of $200 USD. Look out for King James to possibly rock the pair during his playoff run.
