“Ran Out of Ideas Seasons Ago”: Mocking LeBron James’ Latest $200 Drop, Fans ROFL Over $147.34 Bn. Company’s Decision

Nike made a huge announcement this week regarding their long-time partner and 4-time NBA Champion LeBron James. The $147.34 Bn sneaker brand officially unveiled King James’ new basketball shoes “LeBron 21”. The drop had been highly anticipated after the massive success of its predecessor, LeBron 20.

While most fans loved the white and gold color combination of the shoes which was unveiled earlier, fans had mixed reactions to the new “Abalone Pearl” LeBron 21 colorway.

Fans mock LeBron James after massive Nike announcement

King James’ first basketball shoes dropped two decades ago in 2003. Since then, his sneaker line has evolved with time and turned into one of the most fruitful ventures for both Nike and LeBron. Going into his 21st season, Nike announced the launch of his latest basketball shoes “LeBron 21”, which will hit the shelves on September 28 at a retail price of $200. Following the announcement, Nike unveiled the second colorway of the LeBron 21 “Abalone Pearl”. Not happy with the design, fans took on social media to mock the 4-time Champion and Nike.

A fan criticized the lack of innovation in King James’ sneaker line over the years, “Nike clearly aint expect born to still be playing. They ran out of ideas seasons ago lol.” Others compared his basketball shoes to Michael Jordan’s iconic sneakers, “He already at 21 and I’ve yet to see ONE pair as dope as Jordans.” Being one of the most popular athletes in the world, LeBron always faces some criticism for whatever he does. Many fans do not even like his 21-year-old sneaker line, “Trash just like the rest of them.”

A glimmer of hope for King James

Despite the harsh criticism, true LeBron fans loved the new drop and did not hide their excitement on social media, singing praises of the new LeBron 21, “Can’t lie these tough.” Even famous influencer and NBA Shooting Coach “lethalshooter” chimed in, “Need in 15.” followed by some fire emojis.

The 19-time All-Star’s new sneakers seem heavily inspired by aquatic elements. The White and Gold colorway was modeled after the properties of an oyster shell. And LeBron 21’s second release represents the “Abalone Pearl”. Nike and The Akron Hammer have also taken inspiration from LeBron’s eight-year-old daughter, Zhuri James.

Even though some people are not happy with the new design of LeBron 21, Nike’s latest releases are projected to make huge profits when they drop in September. With King James’ massive influence and popularity, the shoes will be off the shelves in no time. Would you like to add the latest “LeBron 21” to your sneaker collection?
