The Nike LeBron 21 'Akoya' is designed to protect the modern basketball player. The shoe is inspired by oyster shells, so the upper is cloaked in "Light Bone" with vents that resemble the veining of a shell. The Swoosh is underlined by the colour "Campfire Orange", which also returns on the tongue and heel. The Nike LeBron 21 is equipped with a Cushlon 2.0 foam sole that is supported by a semi-transparent outsole in milky white.
