The 2021-2022 NBA season has yet to be exceptional for LeBron James, but there is reason to celebrate in other areas. We have his partner Nike to thank for that, as the label supplies him and us with the latest and hottest sneakers. Alongside his latest sneaker from his own signature range, the Nike LeBron 9 "Watch the Throne", the label has designed a collaborative LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 "Strive for Greatness".

Not only is the dominant checkerboard pattern exceptional, but the motifs on the back also enhance the package. The typical lion head motif of LeBron James in particular gets a whole body. The details are in blue and placed on a black background, which matches the colour of the Swooshes.

The rest of the sneaker is made of leather and painted in a light hue. The laces and soft tongues follow the colour example, while the insoles feature an encouraging text, "Strive for Greatness".

In just a few days, you can shop the LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 "Strive for Greatness" at Nike. On December 6th, the sneakers will drop via Nike SNKRS for 140€.
