Nike LeBron 23 [Release Date/Price/Where To Buy]
Spotted in video footage released by elite NBA trainer Chris Johnson.
Only LeBron James and his inner circle know when the final chapter in his storied professional career will be written. Nevertheless, the King’s reign with the Los Angeles Lakers has been historic, not only for adding another championship to his résumé (albeit with the 2020 “bubble” title sparking its share of debate among fans) but also for achieving a generational milestone:
Sharing the court as the NBA’s first father-son duo with Bronny James. Their joint appearance during the Lakers’ season opener was more than a personal triumph; it was a watershed moment for the league and for the culture of basketball itself.
Yet, as much as King James continues to rewrite the NBA record books, his influence stretches well beyond the hardwood. LeBron’s signature line with Nike remains a global force in street and sport culture, and this summer, the all-time leading scorer quietly unveiled a wear-test sample of the Nike LeBron 23 during a private offseason training session.
About the Nike LeBron 23


Spotted in video footage released by elite NBA trainer Chris Johnson, LeBron laced up in a monochromatic makeup of the hitherto unseen silhouette—a standard protocol in the development pipeline.
These blacked-out models help keep design conversations focused strictly on feel and function, stripping away the distractions of colorways and graphics that might impact early feedback.


The design language of the Nike LeBron 23 maintains the progressive low-cut profile initially established with the LeBron 20, signaling a clear pivot away from the high-top constructions that defined earlier eras of basketball footwear. This shift aligns with LeBron and Nike’s efforts to reach the next generation of players seeking performance and aesthetics suited for a modern, faster-paced game.
The pair employs its namesake’s signature crown motif, sculpted prominently into the upper and midsole, wrapping around the foot. Although Nike has yet to confirm the tech specs, there’s reason to expect the upcoming model to feature advanced cushioning systems and premium materials, possibly elevating the LeBron line to new heights of comfort and agility.
