As LeBron James is giving the Chicago Bulls a prime view of the soles of his sneakers, we’re now giving you a look at the rest of his new shoes. The LeBron x NSW Lifestyle NRG with the “Night Stadium” shade across the upper combines both performance aspects and chill mode features. Also note the backwards Nike Swoosh on the shoe–or the forward Swoosh if you’re a Bulls guard.
After taking his talents to London and snatching up a gold medal for Team USA, Nike has decided to keep LeBron James as a pitchman (rumor had it they were gonna ditch him for Gary Ilgauskas, Zydrunas’ cousin). They’re also rewarding him with his own shoe! And they ain’t half-stepping either. The Nike LeBron X features a Hyperfuse construct with Flywire upper, a Nike+ Basketball add-on, and a full-length Nike Zoom unit. You’ll notice that Nike symbol is backwards. I betcha Gary’s would’ve been straight.
