Nike Basketball will be dropping a brand new LeBron 16 Low colorway for the summer months that goes dressed in Purple hues. This model comes dressed in a tonal Soft Purple hue throughout all part of the upper as well as the entire sole. A slightly darker shade provides branded accents on the heel, toebox, and tongue. The only visible deviation from the tonal stylings then appears on the inner part of the heel tab, where LBJ’s #23 is embroidered in purple with gold trim.
Look for this LeBron 16 Low to release later this summer at select retailers and Nike.com. The retail price tag is set at $160 USD.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitasuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
