Nike launched a new iteration of the LeBron 20 sneaker model that is designed in a Violet Frost colorway palette made to honor the Los Angeles Lakers team. The silhouette is also seen in an all-black iteration previously but this time around, it takes on a brighter approach.
The shoe features a muted purple hue throughout the upper with a mesh material and then accented with a paisley pattern that marks the forefoot section of the midsole. It is also detailed with contrasting hues of metallic gold accents that can be seen by the Swoosh branding and the piping by the collars. It rests on top of an outsole that features a playful pattern that highlights Lebron James' lion motif.
