The upcoming Nike LeBron 22 will be there for a record-breaking stretch, supporting the King as he plays his record-tying 22nd NBA season. However, the LeBron 21 is set to get some international shine, presumably sported by The Kid From Akron as he vies for his third Olympic Gold. The public is getting the chance to rock a similar style, with the Nike LeBron 21 now appearing in a GS “Olympic” colorway.

Consistent with pairs like the KD 17 “USA,” SB Dunk Low “Olympic” and GT Jump 2 “Safari,” the Paris-centric Safari pattern is a central focus of this shoe. It’s somewhat of an inversion of the tones that marked those aforementioned pairs, bringing deep blue to the forefront while tinting the “Bowerman” orange into a crimson at the heel. James’ goal and own personal pedigree also plays a pivotal role on this profile, with gold accents appearing on a cylindrical dubrae, the eyestays and of course, the Swoosh.

The Nike LeBron 21 “Olympic” is expected to drop in July, in close proximity to the Paris Opening Ceremony. Enjoy official images just ahead.
