To honor Black History Month in 2012, Nike collaborated with LeBron James to release a special edition of his ninth signature shoe. This exclusive colorway showcases a grayscale design and boasts a distinctive pattern on the tongue, sockliner, and upper eyelets, offering a vibrant touch. Equipped with Hyperposite panels for targeted support in the forefoot area, the shoe also utilizes Flywire cables on the eyelets to ensure a secure and snug fit. The midsole features a fusion of Max Air and Nike Zoom technologies, enhancing responsiveness and cushioning.
