The Mimi Plange x Nike LeBron 18 Low ‘Higher Learning’ is the first part of a four-part collaboration with the esteemed New York-based fashion designer. Drawing inspiration from the timeless varsity jacket, a quintessential American wardrobe staple that embodies the intersection of academia and athleticism, this sneaker effortlessly captures the essence of school spirit. Utilizing a clean white textile upper, the sneaker incorporates striped crimson accents, along with a plush chenille Swoosh on the outer side. To further enhance its unique aesthetic, the shoe is adorned with an intricately embroidered lion patch on the mustard-colored heel, while the medial quarter panel showcases smaller patches that pay homage to traditional varsity sports. Additionally, the sockliner features a graphic showcasing LeBron's iconic 'Just a Kid from Akron' tagline, serving as a testament to his humble beginnings and unwavering dedication.
