LeBron Jamesdebuted a new unreleased shoe recently and it has sneakerheads in a frenzy.
During theLos Angeles Lakers105-99 win over theGolden State Warriorslast weekend, James wore the unreleased Nike LeBron NXT Gen “JW” colorway.
The “JW” stands for JuJu Watkins, the electric face of the USC Trojans women’s basketball team and the first athlete to co-create a sneaker within the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen line.
The shoe is unapologetically sleek. Monochromatic grey and silver tones wrap the silhouette like armor, understated yet defiant.
Then the metallic Swoosh slices across the side, glossy and sharp, catching arena lights the way flashbulbs once chased Michael Jordan in the ’90s.
It’s modern royalty meeting next-generation swagger. Oh, and it also comes in black and other colors as well.

Watkins, one of Nike’s brightest young stars, is sidelined this seasonafter tearing her ACL during the NCAA Women’s tournament last March.
Her absence from the court hasn’t dimmed her shine with Nike, where she’s earned the rare distinction of seeing her player-exclusive designs reach the public.
