Regardless of where LeBron James plays, the city of Miami will always have a strong connection to his footwear. Unquestionably the magnus opus of the Nike LeBron line is the “South Beach” LeBron 8 that dropped in the Fall of 2010, mere weeks after the “Decision” that left Cleveland fans in disgust and other hopefuls disappointed.
After that dark period, The Subject righted the ship by returning home to Cleveland in 2016 and completing the most improbable comeback in NBA Finals history. All has been redeemed, which means the teal and pink is a token of excellence, not controversy. So five it appears, just like how it appeared on the Nike Air Force 1 Low 07 Valentines Day 24cm, only memories of LeBron’s incredible feats are remembered. It’s what Black/Red is to the Air Jordan.
For this LeBron 22, the hot pink appears in a shiny patent leather, off-set by the retro teal that floods the Swoosh, midsole, and tongue. Touches of a golden yellow appear minutely on the Swoosh and the tongue jewel.
It appears that these are made for LeBron only, so enjoy the photos shared by @NBAkicks below.
