As you’ve no doubt noticed by now there’s a less-than-subtle inspiration floating around in the backstory of the Nike LeBron 11 July 4th. That inspiration would be diamonds, with the milestone tenth moder transferring the formation dart of that precious stone into an extended metaphor for King James’ career. Nike just dropped a new video that’s a bit more explicit about said inspiration, in which LeBron himself explains recent colorways. The ‘Blue Diamond’ represents LeBron’s on court electricity, that type of stone being formed when electricity comes in contact with a diamond. Nike Air Jordan 13 Retro Wheat 414571-705 is the ‘Pressure’, representing the added stress of those frequent road trips. Finally the ‘Cutting Jade’ stands as a tribute to the Chinese art of cutting jade with diamond.
