The Showcase: Nike LeBron X+ Sport Pack “Blue Diamond” »

It’s been a while since these were released. Also, the pics don’t reflect my best work, but it’s still worth to share, I guess. Fortunately, the shoes are nice on their own. The Blue Diamond colorway of the Nike LeBron X dropped back in October. It’s one of four Sport Pack+ styles that launched the whole LeBron X collection. Actually it was the first pair that was widely available to public. The Blue Diamond X draws its inspiration from a beautiful blue glow, which appears when the red light gets absorbed by boron. Blue diamonds are incredibly rare, their prices demanding up to a half-million dollars per carat, the most expensive and recognized example being the Hope Diamond. Given their popularity, companies artificially heat diamonds to dye them blue. But the difference between man-made blue diamonds and the real thing is that only natural blue diamonds can conduct electricity. It’s difficult to find any Nike Plus LeBron X’s these days, but which one is your favorite? Is it the Gold Medal, Crown Jewel, Pressure, or the presented below Blue Diamond? Big shout out to Lipek for the help.
