Kith X Nike LeBron 15 Birthday Collection – Release Date

This Saturday, December 30th, Kith and Nike celebrate the birthday of LeBron James by releasing their collaborative LeBron XV Long Live the King Collection.

Two Lifestyle colorways – Stained Glass and Concrete – and one performance version – Rose Gold – are scheduled to be released at Kith stores and online at kith.com. The Lifestyle XV retails at $230. The Performance XV retails at $200. The online release will be at midnight 12AM EST. No other doors will carry this collection as it will remain exclusive to Kith’s shops.

The Lifestyle rendition opts for a more refined textured Flyknit upper as opposed to the more pronounced Battleknit. The medial side is adorned with a curved zipper for easy accessibility. The most dynamic design element of this new XV is the strap system. Branded straps replace a lacing system and come in both full and half-length options. Each Lifestyle XV is accompanied by two full straps and one half strap. This sneaker can also be devoid of straps, thus creating three different ways to be worn. The Stained Glass model is a multicolor knit comprised of shades of burgundy, navy, sail, and olive. The Concrete model features a blend of black, grey, sail, and white.

The Performance XV features a luxury approach to the on-court sneaker. All core performance characteristics are maintained to fit the needs of LeBron James (who wore this pair on Christmas Day). This model receives a Rose Gold colorway, as the Battle-Knit upper is draped in a faint rose tone. The key addition is a rose gold Riri zipper that runs up the center of the upper from the toe to the collar. This zipper conceals a leather panel that displays asymmetric branding, with Long Live the King on the right shoe and Kith x Nike LeBron XV on the left.
