First Look at Nike LeBron XI (11) Atomic Orange “Forging Iron”

Here’s a preview of a brand new Atomic Orange colorway of the Nike LeBron XI. It’s one of the upcoming styles, 616175-800, and if the rumors are valid it’s slated for a release in January. The shoes feature a predominantly Orange upper similar to the Galaxy 9’s. Additionally, Silver details kick in on the Swoosh logos and the lacelock with what appears to be a translucent outsole in the bottom. Photo via @oklai19. Let us know if it’s one of the better colorways that you would consider for a pick up?

  • Why? This is a horrible CW. It looks cheap, like one of those team color options in an Eastbay catalog. Definite fail in my book.

    • I know I said I'm getting every colorway this year, but these will be skipped. I have Galaxy 9's and these are basically the same thing minus the glow in the dark outsole.

  • i understand the dissapointment but i think seeing these in hand will change all of our minds..the icy sole will turn to be a real good look with the orange and it eems they put a unique pattern on the swoosh aswell..we shall see

  • I personally like them --I bet when more images become available this will be one of the most sought after colors especially if it is limited like the Big Bangs were

  • Will these be Nike+ enabled since they have the lace lock? That will also mean a price increase. But they look like and id

    • I've heard they will come out like this with a lacelock. Not sure about Nike+ capabilities, though.
