The introduction of the Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Gen speaks to just how central The King’s product line is to Nike Basketball. After minting the “Soldier” series to provide a more cost-minded alternative to his true signature line, the NXXT Gen model creates a third vertical under The Kid From Akron’s name. With images of the LeBron 21 “James Gang” emerging over the weekend, the off-shoot silhouette is also getting in on the action.
Consistent with its mainline sibling’s edition, the Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD gets dipped entirely in red, a comprehensive heel to toe look that in the context of Nike, will evoke “Red October” comparisons even some 10+ years later. Without overtly stated ties, the colorway can be easily attributed to James’ family being his heart, a hypothesis given credence by how its fleshed out in this comprehensive manner. It’s refracted into shades of “University Red” and “Bright Crimson,” the lighter shade painting the newly added suede that weaves across the upper. Especially when you can grab a nearly exact colorway match, the NXXT Gen gives hoopers a chance to pay just a tad less without sacrificing All-World performance features in the process.
The Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD “James Gang” will release this July, retailing for $170. Take a look at official images just ahead to get a sense before these drop.
Sticking in signature sneakers, the next hotly-anticipated Travis Scott shoes just got an official date, with the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Sail” releasing April 30th.
