The fourth installment in LeBron James’ Ambassador series is set to release this holiday season as the first to integrate Nike’s Flywire technology into the uppers. But it’s clear from these new images that wasn’t always going to be the case, as it’s very possible the Nike LeBron Ambassador III could have claimed that title, these samples from last year’s model showing how an alternate design had their eyelet wings crafted from Flywire-embedded TPU. It gives them a slightly more technical feel compared to the released model whose intricate pattern was more for style than function. Click through for closeups of two pairs, let us know how these compare to the ‘real’ Ambassador 3s and stick with Sneaker News for more rare finds. via hkkicks
