The twenty-third signature sneaker from Nike for Lebron James is almost here. Officially unveiled in its debut look this week, we now have an early look at a “Grand Opening” style, which celebrates his original Air Zoom Generation sneaker.
With the 2025-2026 NBA season starting soon, sneaker brands are starting to roll out their latest player signatures for the year. Over the past few weeks, Lebron James has shared a number of early looks at his twenty-third mainline sneaker, before the shoe was officially unveiled by Nike this week. The Lebron 23 is a special shoe, marking some major milestones. Twenty three years is the longest a single player has been in the league, and the silhouette is also somewhat of a “golden” celebration as it Bron’s jersey number.
This week, we got an early look at an upcoming release of the Nike Lebron 23, which celebrates the King’s original shoe, the 2003 Air Zoom Generation. This special release will take on the AZG’s original Cleveland-inspired color scheme, mixing white and dark red across the upper. The mesh upper features a floral print from toe to heel, while wht molded lower portion of the shoe comes in a red grid pattern. The two halves are separated by a thick black line of embroidery, while a gold foil Swoosh completes the new look.
