We didn’t get the ‘What the?!’ treatment for the past three seasons… neither the LeBron 13, 14 nor 15 got it.
Usually the ‘What the ?!’ colorways are released at the very end of the series mashing up all the previous styles. For the LeBron 16, Nike is looking to switch things up and do this the other way around forcing us to guess elements from other shoes as we go along.
The LEBRON XIV is constructed with Nike’s strongest fabric construction to date, BattleKnit 2.0, and designed with key exclusive features that were inspired by the designer’s vision of strength.
The ‘What the ?!’ LeBron 16 is scheduled to drop later this month. Depending on the location it’s either September 15th (U.S.) or September 22nd (Europe). All this is subject to change as we await the official announcement from Nike Basketball.
