LeBron James once again made NBA history as The King became the first player to surpass 39,000 career points. During this moment, Bron was sporting his latest signature sneaker from Nike, the LeBron 21, in a collaborative colorway from a storefront he co-owns — UNKNWN. This pair follows the successful link-up on the LeBron 20 Message in a Bottle earlier in the year.
The UNKNWN x Nike LeBron 21 showcases sophisticated design and functionality. The upper is crafted from a suede-like material, predominantly covered in a dark russet hue, creating a sleek and elegant look. The sneaker is accented with pops of pink, which appear on the lining of the Swoosh, select portions of the eyestays, and prominently on the LeBron and UNKNWN branding on the tongue, adding a vibrant contrast. Additionally, the UNKNWN logo is tastefully placed on the suede heel tab, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the sneaker. Underneath, the design features a dark russet foam midsole adorned with pink splatter paint. This is paired with a gum rubber outsole.
The UNKNWN x Nike LeBron 21 will release in 2024 through UNKNWN, Nike, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $210.
