The inaugural release from the Mimi Plange x Nike LeBron 18 Low EP collaboration, known as 'Higher Learning,' marks the beginning of a series of joint colorways developed in conjunction with the esteemed New York-based fashion designer. Drawing inspiration from the classic varsity jacket, this particular iteration showcases a partially see-through textile upper embellished with vibrant Team Red stripes and a white chenille Swoosh. An eye-catching lion patch is skillfully stitched onto the heel in a bold mustard yellow shade, while the medial quarter panel boasts two additional letterman-style patches. Adding a personal touch, the sockliner displays prominent blocky lettering that reads 'Just a Kid from Akron.' Designed with enhanced durability for outdoor courts, the EP iteration of this sneaker boasts an extra-tough rubber outsole.
