In 2003, LeBron James played his first-ever NBA game against the Sacramento Kings. Fast forward 20 years, and LeBron celebrated that milestone by donning a pair of LeBron NXXT Gen sneakers in a design inspired by the Air Zoom Generation in Sacramento.
These Nike LeBron NXXT Gen PEs pay homage to the iconic Air Zoom Generation that LeBron wore in his debut game. The color scheme mimics the retro version released earlier this year, with black textile at the heel and white leather upfront. Vibrant red accents grace the aglets, the two Swoosh logos, and the “FIRST GAME” tag on the heel.
