As anticipation for the 2018-19 NBA season continues to mount, running concurrently is the very valid hype surrounding\u00a0LeBron James<\/strong>‘ 16th signature silhouette — the Nike LeBron 16<\/strong><\/a>. Trailing the LeBron Watch last season — arguably the most exciting initiative\u00a0for a signature shoe in years — it’ll be interesting to take in the rollout of one of James’ most anticipated sneakers and NBA seasons of his career.<\/p>\n

At no other time in his career has James been such a dominating cultural figure. His presence in Los Angeles alongside numerous film and television projects will only work to heighten his global influence. Yet from a very singular standpoint regarding the upcoming season, his very first game as a Laker and the sneakers he wears is an intriguing sub-category to a much wider story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s assumed that James will lace up the Nike LeBron 16 “King”<\/strong> for his season opener, on October 18, on the road against the Portland Trailblazers. Release details for the shoe have not yet been announced.<\/p>\n

The “Fresh Bred” LeBron 16 is available here.<\/p>\n

Update 10\/9:<\/strong> Official images of the Nike LeBron 16 “King”<\/strong> have been revealed. The shoe is slated to release on October 15 one day before the start of the 2018-19 NBA season. It’s widely assumed James will kick-off the season in his “King” 16s.<\/p>\n

Update 10\/18:<\/strong> The “King” Nike LeBron 16 will release tonight when the Los Angeles Lakers kick off their regular season. Pairs will be available at 10:30 EDT on Nike SNKRS. James is still expected to lace up the shoe for his regular season Lakers debut.<\/p>\n
