The new LeBron James collection is inspired by the star's highly publicized move from Cleveland to Miami during the NBA's last offseason. The Nike Sportswear LeBron James collection includes letterman jackets, hoodies and even a James-inspired Nike Cortez. The collection features solid styles, with the letterman jackets and hoodies sure to attract attention from even those who don't follow the NBA or King James' exploits. The cartooned style of the lookbook is a nice change from the usual uninspired solo shots that fill up most lookbooks featuring athletic wear and sports stars. You can see the collection in its entirety here, and you should be able to pick up the collection in stores and online during the holiday season. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cartooned Sports Lookbooks:** Incorporating cartooned styles in sports lookbooks provides a fresh and engaging approach for showcasing athletic wear and sports stars. - **Athletic-inspired Fashion Collections:** Fashion collections inspired by athletes like LeBron James offer an innovative opportunity to merge sports and fashion industries. - **Athlete Brand Partnerships:** Collaborations between sports stars and fashion brands create a disruptive innovation opportunity, enhancing brand visibility and expanding target markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Incorporating the cartooned style in fashion lookbooks can attract a wider audience and differentiate brands in a highly competitive industry. - **Sports:** Sports industry can explore collaborations with fashion brands to leverage the popularity and influence of athletes in creating unique and stylish sports merchandise. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Creating engaging lookbooks and campaigns that combine sports and fashion can captivate consumers and generate buzz, leading to increased brand awareness and sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy-Themed Tonal Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lebron-xxii.md) - [Basketball-Inspired Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draftkings-artist-series.md) - [Athlete-Honoring Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-2.md) - [Athlete-Backed Sports Training Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tr1.md) - [Athlete-Backed Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lebron-james-game-console.md) - [Highly Anticipated Basketball-Themed Auctions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-auctions.md) - [Collaborative Sportswear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-and-offwhite.md) - [Football Star Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tru-kolors-x-ae.md) - [Pink Tonal Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-promise-colorway.md)
