Release Reminder: Nike LeBron XI Forging Iron w/ New Pics »

The “Forging Iron” Nike LeBron 11 acts as a metaphor for LeBron James. The craft requires a precise application of force and fire to achieve strength. Accuracy under pressure when the temperature is at its peak ties into LeBron’s recent on-court success. Colors used on the shoe are a unique blend taken from the metal’s metamorphosis. Fiery orange hues represent iron fresh from the furnace. A subtle fade effect represents the sparks, while a metallic Swoosh is symbolic of the transitional cooling process. Below, the shoe is finished with an ice outsole. The Nike LeBron XI “Forging Iron” is set to release tomorrow at nikestore.com and select Nike retail locations for $250. Enjoy an exclusive detailed look, courtesy of SC, and let us know if you’ll be looking to pick up a pair. The rest of the LeBron 11 styles seem fairly easy to get making these the first truly limited release of the season.
