Is This the Nike LeBron 17?
Written by SOURCE on August 29, 2019
Following the Toronto Raptors’ victory in the NBA Finals, preparation for the 2019-20 season is officially underway, and LeBron James is eyeing a return to the postseason in his 17th campaign. Along with that campaign will come a 17th signature sneaker, which James previewed earlier today.
While getting in some work on the court, James took a moment to share a short video of the Nike LeBron 17. James didn’t state that the model showcased in the video is indeed his next signature model, but a retail source has confirmed with Sole Collector that it is indeed the LeBron 17. It’s difficult to catch all of the shoe’s details, but knit construction, a reversed jewel Swoosh and visible hybrid cushioning are visible in the clip.

It’s early for a first look at the LeBron 17, as the new models typically don’t hit retail until late summer or early fall. A release date hasn’t been announced, but we’ll keep you updated as new information is revealed.
UPDATE (08/28): New images of what is said to be a retail version of the LeBron 17 have arrived via Hupu. Built around an Air unit reminiscent of the Air Max 720 with a textured knit upper, the LeBron 17 includes callbacks to previous models such as the LeBron 8’s tongue.
Check back in the coming weeks for more specs and release details.
