As always, Nike is releasing a ton of Chinese New Year-themed shoes, including a brand new Nike LeBron 18 model that has been created in collaboration with graffiti collective 400ml.

As for the offering itself, the upper is covered in red knitposite all while the back heel and laces are a vibrant shade of blue. Some gold is placed on the sides and even the Nike swoosh on the toe box, which helps deliver a nice little flair to the overall look of the shoe.
