NBA superstar LeBron James has got it real good. According to Champs, LeBron and Nike Basketball officially unveiled the LeBron 13 signature basketball shoe recently, at LeBron's native hometown of Akron.
This is the 13th in the LeBron line of kicks, and might be the most personal of all due to some detail that would reveal some of James ties to his hometown, and some details of him, too. Apparently, as James did so good in the on and off the courts, the shoes are expected to do so as well.
The LeBron 13 has different colorways that fans could choose from, and right now here's some of the details that fans would want to have.
'On Court'
According to Slam Online, the "On Court" colorway is inspired by what the dunkman wears on the courts while in play. It has great red, black, and white colors, the shoe is a stunner.
According to Sneaker Watch, the shoe will be released with a snap back, Nike Elite socks, a Rise Up t-shirt, and a red beanie.
Nike is releasing this pair of LeBron 13s on Friday, Oct. 30, for $200.
'Opening Night'
According to Sports Illustrated, Nike has unveiled the 'Opening Night' collection for the 'big three' signature shoes, with all-new looks for the LeBron 13, Kobe 10 Elite, and KD 8.
The LeBron 13 Opening Night colorway is designed with a wine color, accented with cork detailing. A big party, maybe?
According to Sneaker News, the Opening Night pack will be available for release on Nov. 11.
'Doernbecher'
This model here, SN reports, has been designed by Doernbecher patient Kian Salfholm. The 11-year-old, who is recovering from an infection that spread to his heart two years ago, gave the shoe a colorway inspired by James.
Using James' lion motif, he designed the shoe to come with a color-faded upper inspired by the savanna sunrise, where lions roam freely. Additional details include Salfholm's family crest marked on the insole, and “Forever Grateful,” words that became his family's motto after his infection.
The Doernbecher LeBron 13 will be launched along with the other shoes in the Doernbecher collection, on November 21 on Nike.com, and at select retail stores across the country. Sales proceeds will benefit OHSU Doernbecher.
It will be sold for $200.
According to Champs, all LeBron 13 shoes will have the same strong Akron accents, hexagonal air pods, be lighter than before, be suitable for all ages, and have hidden codes that will say something about James (like the Jordan line did to MJ). They will all be available at Nike.com.
LeBron fans better wait for the shoe when it releases.
