Last week, basketball player LeBron James was in Shanghai for the unveiling of his 23rd sneaker in collaboration with Nike, just ahead of his 23rd NBA season with the Lakers. A big moment for both Nike and the athlete, though it was mainly James’ sneakers that drew the most attention.
LeBron James was spotted wearing a never-before-seen Air Force 1 Low, dressed in dark blue glossy patent leather.
The sneaker features a striking navy patent leather upper, paired with a semi-translucent outsole. On the tongue, there’s subtle branding with the text ‘AF1 LBJ’, which, according to Nike, confirms that this is a 1-of-1 design made especially for James. However, the brand quietly hinted at a possible release in the near future.
Gold details on the dubrae and laces give the silhouette a premium look. The Swoosh and Nike logo on the tongue stay true to the classic Air Force 1 and are embossed into the patent leather.
For now, it remains unclear if and when the Nike Air Force 1 Low ‘Navy Patent Leather’ will be released. Keep an eye on the Sneakerjagers news page for updates on this and other releases.
