Key Details
- The Nike LeBron 24 marks LeBron James' twenty-fourth signature model, extending his record for most signature shoes in NBA history.
- The shoe features a white mesh upper blending into the rubber midsole with gold detailing across the lacing system and collar.
- The pair celebrates James becoming the first player to compete in twenty-four NBA seasons, surpassing Vince Carter's previous record.
Lebron James made a big move last week, leaving the Lakers to join up with the Philadelphia 76ers. Now, his next Nike signature shoe, the Lebron 24, has leaked ahead of its debut later this year.
LeBron James holds the record for the longest active career in the NBA, wrapping up his twenty-third season this year. Twenty-three years of professional basketball makes one more than the previous record holder, Vince Carter, and last week James announced plans to further his lead playing his twenty-fourth season with the Philadelphia 76ers. The team change announcement came in the heels of weeks of speculation about whether or not Lebron would even return for one more, but he squashed those rumors decisively. James is also one of a small group of athletes that has a lifetime deal with Nike, meaning his signature shoes will live on for years to come after he retires. This week, we have an early look at the next sneaker in line for the throne.
The Lebron 24 is another step in James’ legacy in the world of sneakers. He already holds the record for most signature sneakers worn in a single playing career, beating out Michael Jordan himself but closely followed by Kevin Durant and his KD19. Our early look at the Lebron 24 is nothing special, photos are blurry and do not give many details away. We can see that the shoe seems to blend its rubber midsole into a mesh upper, likely using the same materials and manufacturing the Ja 3 used for the same effect. The first leak shows a pristine white colorway with gold trim around the lacing system and collar, with more gold detailing added to the shoe’s outsole.
