FaZe Clan and Nike have announced a new collaboration to unite the worlds of sports and gaming culture. The collaboration features several items, including the highly anticipated FaZe Clan x Nike LeBron Nxxt Gen Basketball shoes. The sneakers come packaged in a PC-inspired box with transparent panels, open-hole mesh uppers, and contrast-stitched side Swooshes. The uppers are designed with a spiderweb-like pattern that carries over to the textures on the outsole. These shoes debuted on Lebron James during his game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in December last year.
The apparel collection includes a variety of technology-inspired graphics, such as images of cooling fans and motherboards combined with Nike and LeBron Soldier designs. The range features unique styles such as fleece sweatpants, crewneck sweaters, and T-shirts.
