by Angel Ortiz | Feb 8, 2023 | Featured, Sneaker Releases, Sneakers

Nike Collaborated with The Shoe Surgeon to make a special 1 of 1 Nike Lebron 20 celebrating Lebron James accomplishment on being the all time scoring leader in NBA History.

This pair will not release but Nike will probably release something else to celebrate this achievement. This pair has snakeskin material on the base of the shoe dressed in white, along with a gold swoosh that is textured and patterned, and a marble secondary swoosh. The midsole fades from white to gold, the forefoot area has a gold graphic design that features numbers throughout the forefoot area representing each milestone Lebron has surpassed. The outsole is translucent and has “+38,388K” written on the outsole.

While these may not be released it is worth mentioning because of LeBrons record breaking achievement and has become the NBAs all time leading scorer.

A new Jayson Tatum 1 colorway has surfaced, Jayson Tatum is set to receive his first signature sneaker with Jordan Brand and will be joining Elite company as very few athletes have their own signature line.

The JT 1 was first revealed in a black/red colorway. This time we see a White, Red, and Blue colorway inspired by Tatum’s hometown in Missouri, with the “Archer Ave” street sign behind the right tongue referencing Tatum’s hometown. The fleur-de-lis logo is on the right back tab/pull tab which represents NOLA (Missouri) and both of the heels have Tatum’s number 0 which he wears with the Boston Celtics, and the combination of colors white, red, blue, and gold touch on the city’s official flag.

As for as technology goes there is Nike Zoom Air near the forefoot area it’s not confirmed if it’s full length or just in the forefoot area, it is also unknown if it will feature a special midsole cushioning such as Formula23 which is featured on the Luka 1.

Tatum has yet to officially wear his signature sneaker or announce it but we could potentially see him lace them up during NBA All-Star Weekend or during the NBA playoffs if the Boston Celtics qualify.
