LeBron James and the rest of the US Olympic team brought home the gold for their country this past week! Naturally, all the memorabilia from the Olympic Games have been flying off shelves all over the nation, and what the athletes themselves wear has become even more desirable. 

LeBron James, arguably the team’s best player, debuted the newest addition to his Nike LeBron Shoe line-up by wearing the LeBron X (10) throughout the team’s Olympic run.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of LeBron James’ partnership with Nike Basketball and the release of the LEBRON X comes at another breakthrough moment for Nike Basketball’s performance innovation platform. As the first signature basketball shoe featuring Nike+ Basketball technology in select colorways, it can track and measure performance, while an app provides feedback. The shoe also offers a lock-down fit, excellent cushioning on impact, and a lightweight fit and feel.

Combining four of Nike’s most advanced innovations, the shoe features the first full-length visible Nike Zoom unit, dynamic Flywire technology, Hyperfuse construction and Nike+ Basketball brings the shoe to a whole new level.

Of course, the first version of the shoe was in a red/white/blue colorway to match with the Olympic team uniform. However the next one will hit a little closer to home in black and red to go with LeBron’s Miami Heat uniform. 

Whether or not the Olympic colorway gets released to the public remains to be seen, but we will definitely keep you updated on when and where if it does!
