Earlier this year we got word that LeBron James’ upcoming Nike LeBron 21 would arrive before 2023 rounds out. Having already received a few teasers via James himself earlier this summer, fans will have more colorways to look forward to.

Along with this “Violet Purple” scheme that pays homage to the iconic colors of the Laker’s, the Nike LeBron 21 will also drop in a “James Theater” outfit injected with a bevy of movie-inspired details.

From the first look, the pair boasts a dominant suede upper dipped in a bold red hue with matching Swooshes and laces. A luxurious plush purple fabric is used for the liner, while metallic purple is found on the heel and rear section of the midsole. Down below is a white midsole and icy translucent sole. Further pushing the sneaker’s movie theme are the movie ticket tongue tags with LeBron’s birthday as an admission number, and the popcorn motifs emblazoned on the insoles.

The Nike LeBron 21 “James Theater” is expected to release anytime between Fall and Holiday 2023 for $200 on Nike.com and select retailers. Keep it locked on Nice Kicks on Instagram and the sneaker release dates page to stay on top of the latest news and release.
