Those of you old enough to remember the first time you opened your box to find LeBron’s first signature sneaker, the Nike Air Zoom Generation, should remember that the unique chrome heels came with a protective plastic sticker to prevent any scratches or minute damages. A bit has changed for the coming Nike Zoom Generation “First Game” 2017 retro, out this Wednesday, January 25th for $175 USD at only a handful of select retailers.
While we’re still waiting on more information to come in regarding LeBron’s first ever retro release, the Nike Zoom Generation First Game features a number of differences when compared to the original. Not only has the overall quality of leather changed – a more sturdy and durable lifestyle-like tooling accompanies the retro release – but the protective sticker on the heel has also changed. It’s a minor difference, but it looks like Nike Sportswear is selling the Nike Zoom Generation as a premium, limited edition retro offering given the appearance of the NSW-inspired box and the limited quantity of the release.
Check out more detailed shots of the coming Nike Air Zoom Generation First Game below and if you can’t wait until the eBay.
