While promoting the LeBron XXs last year, LeBron James found an ingenious way to market his shoes using ‘Father Time’ as a theme. Aquaman actor Jason Mamoa was featured in the ad as the ‘Father Time’. The advert gained immense popularity with James hilariously trolling Father Time by handing him a pair of Nike Monarchs and calling him old.

LeBron James is more than elated to find his new shoe gaining wider acceptance among athletes. After Anthony Davis, WNBA player A’Ja Wilson is the next celebrity to don the latest pair of colorways from this shoe collection. The Las Vegas Aces forward seemed to love the shoe and gave LeBron James a shoutout for this collaboration on her Instagram story. To this, the King replied with a re-post, which explained his excitement. In the caption, James wrote,
“I Got You Sis!!!”
The new colorway of the LeBron 20s, worn by Wilson, came up after Nike teamed with Ghanaian fashion designer, Mimi Plange. The shoe boasts a crisp white knit base layer alongside blazing orange floral embroidery that shines across the forefoot, heel counter, and medial mid-foot. The shoe is further adorned by profile Nike swooshes and inner collars, with the tongue, laces, and insoles having bright shades of purple.
Currently, as LeBron James enters his 21st season this year, Nike is scheduling the release of the LeBron 21 series of shoes pretty soon. As per Sneaker News, the latest additions in Nike’s LeBron collection might most probably drop within the next month. Moreover, it was not the first time when LBJ was in awe of the WNBA star.
