The cat’s now fully out of the bag as LeBron James himself reveals a first detailed look at the Nike LeBron 17 signature shoe. Evidently packed with innovative advancements in Nike’s Flyknit called Battleknit and a new cushioning unit with visible heel Air, the LeBron 17 – designed by Jason Petrie – follows the evolution of the sig-shoe line with an enhanced composition of materials fit to support and contain the three-time champion. Seen here in an all-purple make-up, this “2K” edition features the gaming franchise’s iconography on the midfoot of the tongue, while a jeweled LeBron crown logo sits front and center above the lion’s head engraving.
