No matter how many years go by, LeBron James is one of the few constants. Tonight, the forward for the Los Angeles Lakers created history by starting in his 20th NBA All-Star game.

James honored a sports legend who wore the number 21 with his shoes in honor of his 21st NBA season. James’ footwear were inspired by two-sport legend and head football coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion Sanders.

James honored “Coach Prime” with a unique colorway of his signature sneakers in honor of his 21st season (and 21st signature sneaker). James unveiled a Nike LeBron 21 hue that had never been seen before.

The Nike LeBron 21 was officially launched in September 2023 for $200 in adult sizes. There have been several colorways released over the past five months, and online shoppers can choose between a wide selection on the Nike website.

Engineering a performance basketball shoe capable of supporting the most powerful player in the NBA is no easy task. That is why Nike incorporated a cabling system that works with Zoom Air cushioning for a lightweight, low-profile model. The top-loaded, strong plastic plate in the midfoot provides added stability for cutting on a dime.

With 21 installments in the Nike LeBron signature line, it is tough for any sneaker to stand out. But the Nike LeBron 21 made a statement tonight that will resonate with athletes across multiple sports. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news from the sports world
