For the 2024 NBA All-Star festivities, LeBron James unveiled a unique player exclusive for the Nike LeBron 21. Dubbed the Prime Year PE, this LeBron 21 draws inspiration from Deion Sanders's classic Nike Air DT Max 96, which recently returned after years in the vault. Deion Sanders wore the number 21 throughout his career, and the 2023-24 NBA season was year 21 for LeBron, so the mashup of signature sneakers made perfect sense for a PE.
For Game 3 of Round 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs, LeBron James laced up another DT Max 96-themed colorway of the LeBron 21 as he looked to lead his Los Angeles Lakers to their first win of the series against the defending champs, the Denver Nuggets. This Nike LeBron 21 Prime Year Red PE comes in the original white, varsity red, and black colorway seen on the DT Max 96. A black tongue, sockliner, laces, and portions of the outsole accent the white and red upper.
