The first Nike LeBron 12 Elite release will take place on Friday, April 17th as part of the Nike Basketball 2015 Elite “Team” Collection.

The Elite version of the Nike LeBron 12 embodies pinnacle performance and indisputable strength, much like James himself. The LeBron 12 Elite leverages high-quality Megafuse construction with mesh and composite for structure and features new vertical wings wrapping the foot for lockdown and stability.

The shoe now features six visible, independent Nike Zoom Air units that provide low profile, responsive cushioning. The strategic placement of the pods is engineered for James’s explosiveness and his multidirectional movement.

Following the Nike LeBron 12 Elite “Team” release, the shoe will also debut in the Elevate Collection, and the Rose Gold Collection.
