LeBron James is known for his show-stopping Halloween costumes, and his 2015 Prince-inspired outfit remains one of his most memorable. At the Cleveland Cavaliers Halloween party that year, LeBron not only wore the iconic purple outfit but also performed Prince’s hit song “Purple Rain.” This unforgettable moment became even more special when Prince himself acknowledged LeBron’s tribute by sharing a video of the performance, solidifying its place in pop culture.

In honor of this standout Halloween look, Nike is preparing to release the LeBron TR1 in a stunning “Purple Rain” colorway. This trainer, though not strictly a basketball shoe, is designed with LeBron’s versatile athletic needs in mind. The shoe boasts a deep court purple base with action grape accents, perfectly capturing the essence of Prince’s iconic style.
