LeBron James' Nike LeBron 16 Sneaker Sample Appears to Leak in Photo on Twitter

Fans received a taste of what to expect from the newest edition of LeBron James' sneaker line. 

B/R Kicks shared a photo of a sample LeBron 16 sneaker:

Whatever the final design for the LeBron 16s proves to be, Nike will likely try to incorporate as much purple and gold as possible to coincide with James joining the Los Angeles Lakers.
