Before LeBron James became a household name at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, he put the earliest touches on his legacy in the AAU ranks. One of the teams he suited up for as a kid was the Summit Lake Hornets, the inspiration behind this all-new colorway of the Nike LeBron 11.
The shoe features a purple Hyperfuse and Hyperposite upper with honeycomb-printed trim throughout. Vivid Blue also works the inner lining and outsole, while reflective branding adorns the tongue, side panel and medial toe.
These Nike basketball shoes will be released here for $200 tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. EST / 7:00 a.m. EST. Follow @Eastbay on Twitter and @OfficialEastbay on Instagram for all release information and updates.
