The Showcase: LeBron X Lifestyle & First Wear Impressions »

Following the 10th anniversary of partnership between Nike and LeBron James, the Swoosh continues to use the diamond inspiration for all LeBron X styles. This celebration has led to creating a Lifestyle version of the Nike LeBron X. Diamonds are all about hard work, which is mirrored in the uphill battle that James faces each season. Nike Sportswear combined all the hard work with a sense of fashion and the LeBron X NSW Lifestyle has been born. Their first NSW shoe – LEBRON X Cork – was all about King James winning his 1st championship and the locker room ceremony that is a part of that. Now the celebration continues with a blend of luxurious leather and fashionable colors on this new LeBron James’ signature shoe inspired by his sophisticated style off the court. Personally, I am amazed with the final result. Initially, I was on the fence after seeing the first photos, but there’s no more doubt once you wear these. The LeBron X Lifestyle features premium materials and the quality alone puts these on the top of the wanted list of every sneakerhead that’s longing for that leather feel. I also had my worries about the comfort level… after all the Corks did leave some room for improvements with its thin collar and stiff laces. However, the quality of the LeBron X Lifestyle transfers to its coziness. It’s not just another shoe for the display… these are meant to be worn! Check out the whole gallery below.
