To review the history yourself, flip through the pages below to get a detailed account of the Fruity Peebles Nike LeBron series.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Same Kid: LeBron James<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">As many basketball enthusiasts may know, LeBron James is honestly one of the most jovial players to ever grace an NBA hardwood. With his brilliant smile ala Magic Johnson, LeBron&#8217;s ascension from the high school\u00a0ranks to elite status has always kept him as the proverbial <em>kid<\/em> within the league despite his Goliath type physique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">However, this notion couldn&#8217;t have any more evident than in 2006 as Nike and LeBron released the &#8220;Fruity Pebble&#8221; iteration of the Nike LeBron IV. This particular model would provide\u00a0further confirmation to\u00a0the aforementioned notion along with highlighting his favorite sugary treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron IV &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">As mentioned prior, the first &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; model\u00a0of the LeBron James signature line was the Nike LeBron IV. This rugged and a boot-like silhouette featured fruity pebble-styled imagery throughout the midsole while white comprised a majority of the upper. In addition, the inner-lining of the model is coated with purple details, as well as the outsole, which pays further homage to the <em>Post<\/em>\u00a0cereal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>The &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; In Action<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">LeBron first sported the &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; Nike LeBron IV during a 2006 matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. In a contest\u00a0that featured the cream-sicle NBA Hardwood Classic throwbacks of the Cleveland Cavaliers, \u00a0LeBron produced a stat line of 31 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. The Cleveland Cavaliers would ascend to elite status that season as they garnered an impressive 50-win total, along with making their way to the NBA Finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike LeBron 11 &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">After a subsequent seven year hiatus, the &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; hue return to the Nike LeBron lineage as the aforementioned\u00a0color palette decorated the Nike LeBron 11 model. Incorporating\u00a0more of a tonal makeup, hues of bright red canvassed the upper. In addition, the plethora of colors are seen in a cascading fashion along the outsole and laces of the model as this Fruity Pebbles iteration was solely released for GS demographics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Legacy of Nike LeBron Fruity Pebbles Series<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The legacy of the Nike LeBron &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; series will forever remain apart of Nike lore due to its extreme exclusivity and astronomical reseller price on the open market. However, over the years, various athletes and celebrities have been spotted in various silhouettes of the series, such as former University of Pittsburgh guard Lamar Patterson who sported the Nike LeBron IV &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; during the 2013-2014 college basketball season and recording artist K.Michelle who was seen in the Nike LeBron 11 model.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Building upon those previous variables, as long as LeBron continues to ascend towards iconic status and his respective signature models continue to boast great aesthetics, the Fruity Pebble series will remain a constant within Mr.James&#8217; staple of hues.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>words \/\/ Pierce Simpson: As yet another release of the LeBron James &#8220;Fruity Pebbles&#8221; series\u00a0is set to hit retailers\u00a0with the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":437807,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1219126],"tags":[117,1225484],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Nike LeBron Fruity Pebbles Series: Throwback Thursday | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Head over to nicekicks.com to take a look at the Nike LeBron &quot;Fruity Pebbles&quot;
