In order to pay homage to the excellent performance delivered season after season, Nike Basketball created the LeBron 16 in anticipation of the 17 the banner expected to be hung up, joining the rest. There is no better way to celebrate by honoring the past victories and new prominent Laker’s captain LeBron James. Through the official photos of the shoe released, you will be able to notice the NBA spirit that it encompasses. The 16 years of prominent victories embroidered at the back in a baby blue thread celebrates the success of the Lakers as a team throughout the course of time.
