On Oct. 29, 2003, an 18-year-old LeBron James made his debut in the NBA as a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Although the Cavs lost to the Sacramento Kings, James ushered in a new era in the NBA. And Nike is celebrating the anniversary with a new colorway for the LeBron XXIII signature shoes.
Available for $210 on nike.com, the Nike LeBron XXIII “Grand Opening” sneakers (which are 4 of 23 different colorways for James’ 23rd season in the league) feature a LeBron’s crown logo wrapped around the toe tip through the shoes’ mustache with textured quarter panels and a royal colorway. The new shoes drop on Saturday, Nov. 1, at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT.
The new sneakers are light, warm and made for play with aggressive lines and a contemporary silhouette. The uppers are designed with a blend of high-quality real and synthetic leathers for form and durability, while their midsoles feature Nike ZoomX foam cushioning for bounce and travel.
They’re modern with elements that celebrate LeBron James’ first game in the NBA. These Nike LeBron XXIII “Grand Opening” sneakers come in a new white, university red, black and metallic gold colorway.
