Much like how the Kyrie 5‘s latest colorway pays homage to the ’90s sitcom Friends, LeBron James will be paying tribute to his favorite 90s sitcom Martin with a special colorway of the LeBron 16. This Nike LeBron 16 comes dressed in a Court Purple and Tour Yellow color combination which matches up with the season 5 dvd cover and poster. A Black heel with a triangular design wrapping the lower heel and tongues nods to the iconic Martin logo as does the bold “Nike” branding on the ankle. Finishing off the theme are notable catch phrases debossed into the heel along with themed branded insoles.
Expect a release on April 16th on SNKRS. Retail price is set at $185.
