Nike and LeBron James introduce another iteration of the LeBron 3 sneaker model for the season with the latest Barbershop colorway palette to join the roster. It is set to launch in the markets in the upcoming weeks and it is designed with inspiration drawn from the athlete's family and hometown.
In terms of the design, it rests on top of a black base foundation throughout using supple leather materials overlaying on top of one another. It is also marked with a range of striped textures that travel from the toe box and up to the ankle collar. The tongue is designed with a fuzzy look and comes up from under the roped laces over the forefoot.
