Bearing one of the most iconic color combinations in sports history, the Los Angeles Lakers regal yellow-gold and purple pairing has provided LeBron James with endless Player Exclusive opportunities. While dropping a 28-point triple-double, the four-time NBA Champion unveiled an exclusive Lakers-tinted LeBron 21 bearing an overtly titular palette.
Mismatched between a highlighter yellow left foot and a bright lilac right, the multi-color edition remains dissimilar aside from sharing the same palette and crisp white tread across both pairs. Bearing the same textured iridescent finish that coats the silhouette’s upcoming “Abalone” installation, the clad-colored uppers are offset by purple or yellow-outlined profile swooshes and midsoles. Elsewhere, a pastel infusion of sky blue and pink blast animates the laces, inner linings and medial swooshes, cementing the pair’s every-other color blocking.
It remains to be seen whether the Nike LeBron 21 “Lakers” PE will remain a Player Exclusive or receive a broader release. In the meantime, the pair can be seen ahead in first-look imagery from Wednesday night’s matchup.
