The sneaker is designed to support the strength and speed that the lakers star posses. Designer Jason Petrie has said that the shoe is designed in such a way that describes the 17-year old relationship between Nike and LeBron.
The first look of the shoes is amazing and it will be interesting to hear LeBron’s feedback about them and how the sneakers help him enhance his game on the court.
Designer Jason Petrie describes the LeBron 18 inspiration:
“At this point, LeBron has spent half his life with Nike. We wanted to make him a shoe that played with this idea of two halves.”
