While a lingering ankle injury kept LeBron James out of the Lakers ' final nine games, the four-time champion used the throwback aesthetic and forward-thinking construction of the Nike LeBron 20 to coordinate a series of homages to cities and teams that marked his career.

From his debut as a Cavalier to his first NBA championship with the Miami Heat , the latest Nike LeBron 20 seems to take inspiration from Miami's vibrant nightlife. With a ' What The ' style palette across a turbulent collection of titled hues, woven base layers indulge in a raucous layer of ' Total Orange ', punctuated with a multitude of ' Vivid Purple ' accents. Matching the Lavender treatment on the initial Swoosh, the lower portion of the shoe is accented with color-matched stitching and filled with a cool faded blue that extends onto the laces.

Aside from the bright, reflective finish of the jet black tongue, the rarely monochromatic hue is immediately drowned out by a bright " Green Strike " quarter and accent turquoise trim. We got a first look at the pair back in December, the lively colorway features a pastel pink to anchor the sock liner before the upper's injection of personality is finished off with yellow and blue heel tabs and Metallic silver accents adorning the dubras and eyelets of the vamp. Underfoot, however, the split heel layout suits the purple and black semi-translucent sole unit, while a vibrant ' Hot Punch ' and turquoise team up with the two-tone midsole to finish things off.
