Looking to celebrate LeBron James’ place with the Lakers, Nike is now readying a “Home” colorway of the LeBron 18. The latest take on King James’ signature sneaker is centered around the “White/Amarillo/Black” home colors of the Los Angeles basketball team.White serves as the base as the clean tone is expressed on the lightweight and breathable KnitPosite 2.0. Accenting the base are black and gold elements continued on the speckled laces that weave through tunnels engineered into the knit for a secure fit. Branding comes in the form of mini Swooshes at the toe, branded three pod tongue, King James motifs on the molded TPU heel counters and “23” jersey numbering printed on the insoles. Elevating the shoe is a full-length Zoom Air unit nestled within the Max Air under the heel and extends into the forefoot paired with a grid-like rubber outsole marked with diamond-shaped cutouts for weight reduction.Priced at $200 USD, the Nike LeBron 18 “Home” is set to release in the coming weeks.For more footwear news, take a detailed look at the sacai x Nike Blazer Low “Dark Grey.”
