Nike LeBron 12 x Pigalle Release Date, Pics and Preview
One of the year's biggest sneaker collaborations hits shelves this week when LeBron James' and Stephane Ashpool's Nike LeBron 12 Pigalle is released.
A blend of international fashion with the typical elite performance in a show by the King himself begs for global attention.
With releases in Shanghai and Hong Kong in the books, here's a look at the rest of the release details, per Sole Collector:
| Thursday, Sept. 3 | N/A |
Sole Collector provided a look at the sleek design:
The blend of white and "Pure Platinum" is impossible to ignore, especially when it pairs oh so well with the epic LeBron 12 design.
Sneaker Bar Detroit looked at the impressive shoe from multiple angles on Instagram:
It's all here. The platinum slices through the side of the shoe in typical LeBron 12 fashion. The back pull tab features a slick black to match the interior, and the bottom offers yet another icy sole, matching the theme well.
What else? James isn't one to sacrifice performance for looks, which is what makes him so excited for this release. He discussed his collaboration with Ashpool with HypeBeast.com:
"It’s really great, because he understands the concept of game – the game of basketball. He’s not going to mess with the integrity of the shoe. He keeps the performance side and also style. He knows both sides of the fist.
"
There's a reason James continues to wear the shoes on his world tour:
Sneakerheads won't want to miss this one. The LeBron 12 on its own is a modern classic by now. The fact that James teamed up with a basketball mind geared toward great fashion pushes things over the edge.
This one drops in select retailers Thursday, so be on the lookout.
