Early on, Nike put quite a bit of energy into getting the LeBron 18 off the ground. And it seems before we see another adult-sized release, the silhouette will be arriving in a brand new, GS-exclusive colorway.

Gone are the vibrant colors of iterations previous. Here, the scheme prefers to lean on universal neutrals, dressing the majority of its Flyknit upper in black. Behind, the counter is based in white shades like the laces and midsole; and though they may seem rather ordinary at a glance, two of the three fixtures feature a speckling unique to the brand’s “Oreo” inspired offerings. What’s more, alongside matching insignia/branding, the pair dresses its tread in beloved gum finishes.

For a better look, see the official images below. A release is sure to hit Nike.com and select retailer very soon.
