Before and during the gold medal match against France, LeBron James broke out two never-before-seen colorways of his new LeBron XXII sneaker.
In warm-ups before the game, James was seen in an all-iridescent pair paired with black at the inner, tongue, rear heel signature, and lateral side Swoosh outline.
The midsole, and its corresponding branding, also share the same visual feature. A blue translucent outsole with a visible safari print rounds out the aesthetic.
For the actual game, James pulled out an all-gold pair patterned with black at the tongue, inner, Swoosh outline, and rear heel Lebron signature.
A Swoosh branded gold midsole and a gold translucent outsole, that like its previously referenced blue counterpart, also features a visible safari pattern.
There is no indication that these will transition from the realm of Player Exclusive to retail release.
