LeBron James debuted the Nike LeBron 21 in the Los Angeles Lakers’ first game of the season.
The Opening Night of the new NBA regular season always includes a celebration of the defending world champions. While the Denver Nuggets did get their shine and a victory in the season opener, it was impossible not to focus on LeBron James.
At 38 years old, James has embarked on an unfathomable 21st NBA season. What’s even more unbelievable is his level of production. James carried the Los Angeles Lakers with 21 points, eight rebounds, and five assists.
Never one to waste an opportunity, James started the campaign in his newest Nike sneakers – the Nike LeBron 21. James and Nike officially introduced the performance basketball shoe in September and have already released multiple colorways – including the exact pair James wore on Opening Night.
Nike LeBron 21
To mark the beginning of his 21st season, James wore the Nike LeBron 21 in the ‘Dragon Pearl’ colorway. Luckily for fans, the shoes are available in adult sizes for $200 on the Nike website.
According to the product description, the shoe is draped in a shade of Melon Tint, contrasted by a fiery Metallic Red Bronze around the heel counter. Beyond looking good, the model performs great on the court. The low-cut, lightweight silhouette features a cabling system that works with Zoom Air cushioning for an unmatched ride.
Last season was a milestone year for James. Not only did he become the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, but he celebrated two decades with Nike. As much as things change, fans can continue to count on James to bring the heat night in and night out.
