2022 marks the 20th year of LeBron James’ partnership with Nike, and we have already gotten early looks of a milky pink LeBron 20 from one of LeBron’s training sessions. Now, it looks like a pair of Player Exclusive LeBron 2 will join in the 20th birthday celebrations too.

First released in 2004, LeBron wore this Gold and White sneaker at a match against Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv. The Maccabi was considered a bold design at the time, with all-around laser-etched patterns on the outsole and ankle strap. Its gold accents still gives off a regal vibe after all these years.

The Nike LeBron 2 Maccabi is expected to return this fall. Stay tuned for the latest updates of the Nike LeBron range.
