Nevertheless, during the defeat of the Lakers, Lebron James put up an impressive stat line. The 37-year-old James tallied a massive 21 points, 4 assists, and 17 rebounds.

The Lakers now have a record of (10-15) in total games played and stand in a lowly 13th position in the Western Conference.  

It looks like the Lakers are not choosing to contend for this year’s title but instead, we can see LeBron’s greatness. This year, LBJ is on the verge of achieving greatness and creating a few new records in the NBA.

Based on the timing of LeBron’s stat and record chasing, Nike is not missing any opportunity. The Oregon-based sports company is leaving no stone unturned to market LBJ’s latest signature basketball sneaker, the Nike Lebron 20.

Notably, King James’ newest sneaker has been receiving positive criticism from players and fans alike but like everything, the sneakers have one downside.

LBJ’s latest edition, that is, Nike LeBron 20 has a massive price tag. This is the downside of the sneaker. It costs a whooping $200 before taxes!

But not to worry, Nike and LeBron have worked out a solution to cater widely to the consumers. Keeping LBJ’s fans in mind, Nike has developed a more affordable shoe.

During the game against Cleveland Cavaliers, four-time NBA champion LeBron James debuted the Nike LeBron NXXT.

This sneaker is the latest collection to LeBron’s signature line with Nike.

In the game against the Cavaliers, James was wearing a black and red colorway of Nike LeBron NXXT. According to sources, the black and red colorway is part of a collaboration with FaZe Clan (James’ son is a part of this gaming company).

As per speculations, the Nike LeBron NXXT is supposed to be launched in a blue and orange colorway on February 10, 2022. The blue and orange colorway is named ‘iPromise’ and has a price tag of $160.

However, Nike has not yet released any official images, tech specs, or launch dates for the new model.

Nevertheless, the new Nike LeBron NXXT features an engineered mesh with a tumbled leather overlay. Additionally, a Zoom Air cushioned midsole is combined with a rubber outsole.

Some might think $160 is quite expensive and honestly, it is pretty expensive; but kudos to Nike for at least launching a budget signature sneaker keeping the fans in mind.
