The Nike LeBron 12 “Wheat” finally has a release date, and it’s slated to arrive on Saturday, April 4th. This shoe harkens back to one of the most memorable sneakers released in the LeBron line, and it just so happened to be a member of The King’s first silhouette release slate. The Nike Zoom Generation “Wheat” definitely caught the attention of the sneaker world at a time when LeBron’s first sneaker was a questionable pick-up. Even despite the fact that Tinker Hatfield had a hand in the design and the shoe had a cool narrative of being inspired by the controversial H2 Hummer that the teenager drove around in High School (a car his mom took out a loan for based on her son’s future earning potential) it took this Timberland-boot like colorway to put people on notice. Now 12 years later, people are begging for a retro of LeBron’s first model, and he’s dominated the sneaker landscape in terms of active players. The lifestyle inclined EXT model features a premium Metallic Gold Swoosh to coincide with the ’12th Generation’ Wheat aesthetic. As always, you can check out more official photos after the break, and pick up this LeBron 12 next Saturday, 4/12.
