Japanese retail label atmos introduce the captivating Sakura design makeup that details the Nike LeBron 18 Low sneaker model. The basketball shoe is entirely decorated in themed accents referencing Japan's scenic cherry blossoms. During this time, the sakura blooms beautifully, and Nike celebrates that.
The Swoosh has been entirely changed to look like it is made up of pink floral details coming together. It is applied through embroidery and lies under the hyaline mid-foot and the forefoot layer. The rest of the upper is accented with geometric shapes in bright hues of pink, blue, or jade green. Additional details include the ivory tonal exteriors and the canvas heel that has overlays attached to the throat. Baby blue details complete with King's crown logos at the heel and pink make up the laces and eye stays.
