Anniversary-Honoring Basketball Shoes

Nike and LeBron James Unveils a Look at the LeBron 20 Shoe

This year will mark LeBron James' 20th season in the NBA and also his 20th year working alongside Nike -- to honor this special milestone, the two launch a new LeBron 20 sneaker model. The signature sneaker strays away from the usual chunky looks that stem from the partnership.

It takes on a more slim design this time around with a low-top shape as well. It has a knit material that makes up the upper for breathability and continues with the overlapping Swooshes on the lateral side of the shoe. The athlete's signature marks the tongue section and the stark colorway of the shoe cannot be missed with strong touches of pink and accents of silver.
