The Nike LeBron 20 “Art Basel”: An UNKNWN Exclusive
One of two released in conjunction with the mega art fair.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2022 took place over the weekend, with many brands providing their own themed releases. Nike for theirs, released a 200-pair exclusive of the LeBron XX. The titular colorway succeeds the “South Beast”, another iteration released in conjunction with the annual art fair.
Much like its predecessor, the “Art Basel” features the same tumbled leather build, bar the bright pink. Instead, arriving in a “University Gold”. Faux hair sit atop the silver base in the dual-Swoosh construction on the lateral. Proximate to it lies the LeBron branding stitched onto the heel counter. More branding elements lay claim on the tongue where the King’s signature’s debossed, while atop sits the “XX” stitching. The insignia also seen on the metal lace dubraes near the vamp.
The pair was released exclusively on Miami boutique UNKNOWN via raffle with winners able to purchase the pair for US$210. The pair may have been beyond reach for many, but there’s hope that a few will surface eventually on the SNKRDUNK App.
