The American giant Nike continues to draw inspiration from past successful collaborations to reimagine some of its silhouettes, including the signature line LeBron James. After offering us 2 LeBron 16 Low colorways in 2019 referring to the Air Max 1 « Elephant » and 90 « Safari » designed with the famous Japanese shop Atmos, a LeBron 18 Low « Viotech » has just surfaced.
This new sneaker pays tribute to the atmos x Nike Air Max 1 « Viotech » released in 2003. This ultra limited collaborative pair is highly sought after and sells for a nice price on online market platforms, around 1000$.
The LeBron 18 Low presented today uses the familiar Khaki/Viotech-Dark Mocha-Metallic White color scheme.
It consists of a suede upper combining Khaki and Dark Mocha colorways with a purple leather « Viotech » side Swoosh layered over a metallic white Swoosh. To keep the reference details of the 2003 collab, we find the mini Swoosh embroidered on the mudguard and the tongue branding in gold color, as well as the black laces. The whole is based on a Dark Mocha brown midsole featuring the transparent Air unit under the heel and a gum outsole.
The Nike LeBron 18 Low « Viotech » will be released soon at selected retailers and nike.com for the usual price of 160$.
It could be that this colorway is one of the next drops of LeBron Watch which takes place on the 23rd of each month, watch out for it…
