Nike Release Dates 2014: LeBron 12 ‘Heart of a Lion’, Lunar TR1 ‘Oregon’ Coming Next Week; Price, Where To Buy, Photos
Nike is set to release two excellent shoes next week -- the new colorways of the LeBron 12 and Lunar TR1 -- that are expected to get a lot of attention on the sneaker market.
The LeBron 12, LeBron James' latest Nike signature shoe model, will be released in a Gym Red/White-Bright Crimson-Black colorway on Oct. 30 in select Nike retailers worldwide. The LeBron 12 will be available for $200 per pair.
The LeBron 12 "Heart of a Lion" features a red-based mesh upper part combined with white Hyperposite. It also has a black Nike Swoosh logo and finished off with a full translucent outsole.
The overall color combination made it look like a Miami Heat home colorway and was said to be designed before James decided to return to Cleveland Cavaliers, but according to KicksOnFire, the colorway has something to do with James comparing himself to a Lion.
"The story goes that the red is symbolic to the blood pumping through LeBron's foot as he hits the court which resembles a beating heart. LeBron James often compares himself to a Lion with his action and leadership on the team," KicksonFire noted.
Meanwhile, aside from the new colorway of James' signature sneaker, Nike will also release the Lunar TR1 colorway in Metallic Silver/Black-White on Wednesday, Oct. 29, in select Nike accounts worldwide.
The Nike Lunar TR1 "Oregon" edition features a metallic silver-based upper part combined with black linings and the Nike Swoosh logo. It is finished off with a white-black midsole and white outsole along with touches of green and yellow that is said to be inspired by the team colors of University of Oregon.
"The newest edition of the innovative Nike Lunar TR1 celebrates the heritage of one of the most beloved college football programs in the Northwest," Nike noted. "Flywire cables with the University of Oregon's signature green and yellow give the primarily all-white colorway a bit of pop. The Duck's mantra-"Win the Day"-is printed on the inside of the tongue, and one of the most recognizable logos in all of college sports-Oregon's "O"-is on the outside."
The Nike Lunar TR1 "Oregon" will be available for $120 per pair. More photos of this sneaker are available below.
