John Kim We’re mere months away from the launch of the nike BLACK Pitch Fußball Ball (it won’t hit retail until later September), but LeBron is already spending the summer putting the new shoe through the ringer — and he just revealed a first look at the twenty-second shoe.
On his Instagram Stories, LeBron informed his followers that he’s now wear-testing the nike BLACK Pitch Fußball Ball, showing off an all-black colorway of the brand new model. Typically, wear-test pairs come in all-black as to shroud the design from the shoe-paparazzi. While these may appear like the LeBron 21 at quick glance, a close-up of the toe reveals an “XX2” detail, confirming these to be the upcoming chapter.
A further inspection reveals a larger Swoosh logo cut into the upper skin, while a miniature Swoosh appears on the inner toe. Additonally, a tongue features an upside-down triangular cut-out, replacing the embroidered insignia seen on the LeBron 21.
As of the publishing of this article, neither the release date nor pricing info has been revealed, but LeBron’s new kicks typically arrive in late September. An MSRP is likely to stay around $200.
