The Nike LeBron 21 has been a force on the court for nearly a year now, boasting a series of eye-catching colorways. From public releases like the “All-Star” to player exclusives like the “Prime Year,” the shoe has carved its own path. Now, the LeBron 21 dips back into Nike’s rich history with the iconic “Cool Grey” makeover.
The side profile reveals a shoe heavily influenced by the elephantine grey shade that rose to fame on the Air Jordan 11. This cool grey hue dominates the upper, with subtle variations on the midsole and tongue.
A striking detail on this LeBron 21 is the pronounced ribbing that weaves across the dimensional mesh upper. This textured pattern seems to hint at a potential material upgrade as well. The abstract design continues onto the midsole, while the outsole, not fully revealed yet, evokes memories of the Akron homage seen on the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen soles. Finally, the Swoosh, typically flush with the upper on most releases, gets a fresh twist here. This iteration features a translucent, iridescent “Jewel” Swoosh, adding a touch of luxury.
