“LeBron James Unveils Exclusive USC-Inspired Sneakers in Epic Father-Son Display”
In a dazzling display of father-son unity, LeBron James recently donned an exclusive design of his signature Nike LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD EP at Madison Square Garden during the LA Lakers’ clash with the New York Knicks. The sneakers, adorned in a predominantly white colorway with pops of red and yellow, pay homage to LeBron’s son, Bronny James, and his current college, the University of Southern California.
LeBron’s choice to sport his son’s Player Exclusive (PE) version added a layer of exclusivity to the already sought-after sneaker. Unfortunately for enthusiasts, this specific colorway won’t be hitting the sneaker market. However, the standard Nike LeBron NXXT Gens, retailing between $160 to $165, are still available in Nike stores.
The unique design of the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD EP draws inspiration from the USC Trojans’ colors. A noteworthy detail is the left sneaker’s tongue, featuring the number six, which corresponds to Bronny’s current jersey number. This shared choice of footwear between father and son was a heartwarming display of unity as they both engaged in basketball action on the same night.
For those looking to grab a pair of LeBron James’ signature kicks, the OG NXXT Gens have 13 colorways available in the market. Resellers currently offer them at a range of $74 to $123, providing an alternative for those who miss out on retail availability, where the sneakers are priced at $160.
As for the AMPD EP version, with its limited three colorways currently available, consumers can also purchase them at the retail price of $160. Unlike the OG version, resellers have yet to list prices for the AMPD EPs, prompting enthusiasts to head to retail stores for the time being.
LeBron James’ longstanding partnership with Nike is as impressive as his basketball career. With a history spanning over two decades, LeBron’s loyalty to the sneaker giant mirrors his enduring success in the NBA. Nicknamed the “King,” LeBron is the second most successful NBA player in partnership with Nike, trailing only behind the legendary Michael Jordan.
In a milestone move, LeBron James inked a lifetime contract with Nike in 2015, valued at an astounding $1 billion. This lucrative deal places him just $500 million shy of Michael Jordan’s historic $1.5 billion earnings from the iconic sneaker company, solidifying LeBron’s status not only on the court but also in the world of sports endorsements.
