mens nike kyrie s1 hybrid white gold sale The nike flyknit trainer sunset tint release date “Watch The Throne”

Although LeBron James doesn’t “throw up the roc'” as frequently now as he might’ve 10 years ago, he’s still within JAY-Z’s exclusive circle. Such an honor has allowed a young “kid from Akron” to pose for magazine covers with the Roc-A-Fella Records-frontman and musical acts, as well as receive a once-Player-Exclusive (P.E.) edition of the nike flyknit trainer sunset tint release date “Watch The Throne,” which is set to release to the public for the first time ever in 2022.

Inspired by and named after the joint-studio album released in 2011 by the aforementioned Brooklyn-born rapper and adidas Yeezy‘s Kanye West, the LeBron 9 “WTT” captured Black excellence, James’ dominance while with the Miami Heat and the blurring of the lines between hip-hop, high fashion and sports. While the basketball shoes predominantly indulged in a pitch-dark color palette, “Metallic Gold” accents all-throughout the upper directly nodded to the “Watch The Throne” album’s opulent cover, which was designed by Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy fame. A heavy, molded lace accessory arrived with the once-ultra-exclusive pair, resembling the ornate cover art faithfully. Multi-color patterns appeared on the inner lining and laces, details borrowing from the nature-reminiscent prints found on much of the hip-hop duo’s wardrobe during the album’s tour. Underfoot, the Air Max-cushioned sole unit kept much more tame, but its gold-speckled midsole and icy, semi-translucent outsole further instilled an air of luxury to the shoes that once fetched upwards of $10,000 USD on the after-market.

Enjoy detailed images of the pair here below, and anticipate a stateside Nike SNKRS launch following an overseas release on January 6th, 2022.
