Since it first arrived on the LeBron 8 in 2010, the “South Beach” color scheme has become interwoven into the very fabric of LeBron James‘s Nike line, and now it’s debuting in an alternate style on the Nike LeBron 16 via this new kids-only makeup. Using an elegant grey shade of Battleknit 2.0 material for the base, the shoe’s signature teal South Beach accents are presented via a bluish teal on the speckled midsole, laces, and signature triangular heel piece. As is customary for any “South Beach” sneaker, small pops of vivid pink are present as well, in this case appearing on the lacing system, medial Swoosh and tongue branding. However, there are some new details here to ensure this release stands out, namely the stormy grey/black palm tree print on the throat and the two-tone jewel swoosh on the lateral midfoot. Grab a first look at these fun-sized Nike shoes right here, and expect a release at the Swoosh Hoops stockists listed below on May 9th for a MSRP of $160 USD.
