Nike Basketball is gearing up for the much-anticipated release of the LeBron 21 this month. Recently, at the World Basketball Festival, courtesy of Complex, we got a sneak peek at an exciting new edition they’re calling the “Abalone Pearl.”

The LeBron 21 “Abalone Pearl” boasts a captivating color scheme featuring Industrial Blue, Court Blue, Photon Dust, and Pink Rise. What really sets this shoe apart is its shiny, color-shifting upper, mimicking the dazzling outer shell of an abalone pearl. The dominant hue here is blue, covering the tongue, laces, inner lining, and midsole, while a crisp white finish graces the outsole. Interestingly, LeBron James himself was spotted rocking a yellow version of these kicks, although it’s worth noting that this particular variant won’t be available to the public.
