Nike LeBron 22 "Blacklight": dark and opulent
The Nike LeBron 22 "Blacklight" was first revealed to the public by LeBron James himself during a preseason warm-up session. The colorway of the "Blacklight" is reportedly a combination of Black/Laser Fuchsia/Dark Grey/Field Purple/Guava Ice, a close resemblance to the color scheme of the Lakers' "Hollywood Nights" uniform.
The upper of the Nike LeBron 22 "Blacklight" has an almost suede look to it, crafted from black nubuck, a leather material, giving the shoes a premium look. The field purple laces, hooped through metallic eyelets, are a stark contrast to the dark silhouette of the sneakers. Adding to this pop of color is the Laser Fuchsia accent that overlines the swoosh of the grey-textured midsole.
The LA Lakers' color scheme would be incomplete without a touch of gold. In addition to the purple jewel on the tongue, the golden mini swoosh on the midsole completes the look. Since these are LeBron's signature sneakers, you can find the words "AKRON, OH" and the year "ESTD. 1984" on the toe of the soles.
The technology behind the LeBron 22 "Blacklight" is one of the latest in the market. The dual-toned midsole sits atop a Zoom Turbo unit that allows maximum agility. The shoes are lined with the CushIon 2.0, which gives the wearer optimum comfort.
New NBA season, new shoes, new records
The name of LeBron's latest signature sneakers, the Nike LeBron 22 "Blacklight," may also be a nod to the number of seasons he has played in his professional lifetime. Along with Vince Carter, LeBron James holds the record for most seasons (22) played in the NBA.
In the upcoming season, LeBron James will be playing alongside his son, Bronny James. Another NBA record, making LeBron and his son the first active father-son duo.
History is in the making where LeBron and Bronny are redefining what it means to leave a legacy.
