LeBron 13 'Written in the Stars' Release Date, Price & Where To Buy [Photos]
The newest signature shoe of Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is set to arrive this weekend.
The LeBron 13, which has been making a lot of noise since purported images of the shoe leaked online, will arrive at retailers on Saturday in what is dubbed as the "Written in the Stars" edition.
The LeBron 13 "Written in the Stars" edition, which is officially listed as the Mulberry/Black-Pure Platinum-Vivid Purple colorway, features a berry-based upper part, which was one of the main reasons why this colorway was initially named as the "Berry" edition when it first leaked online.
It also has vivid purple and black hints on the upper part, including the Nike Swoosh logo. It was finished off with a speckled white midsole and an icy blue translucent outsole. According to Nike, the design was inspired James' dedication to his craft, which made him arguably the best player in the world today.
"For LeBron, there's no such thing as luck. Hard work, perseverance and the ability to conquer any challenge have led him to victory," Nike wrote on the official product page. "This collection pays tribute to LeBron's self-created destiny while taking inspiration from "Rubber City Soul" by award-winning poet and playwright Lemon Anderson."
The LeBron 13 "Written in the Stars" will be available on Saturday starting 10 a.m. ET on Nike.com and selected retailers worldwide for $200 per pair. It will also be available in GS sizes for $170, PS sizes for $90 and TD sizes for $60 per pair. More information and photos are available on this link.
Like previous signature shoes of James, the LeBron 13 is expected to be among the hottest items, if not the hottest model, on the sneaker market in the coming months.
The LeBron 13, which still features the unique Zoom Air Cushioning units that made the LeBron 12 very popular last year, was also inspired by James' hometown -- Akron, Ohio -- and how he is working hard to bring a championship to their fans after returning to Cleveland last season.
More LeBron 13 colorways are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks, especially when the 2015-16 NBA season kicks off. All colorways are expected to have unique features inspired by James' roots.
"The LeBron 13 design inspiration reflects James's hometown roots in Akron, Ohio," Nike said in statement. "Unique elements to each colorway come to life in five locations on each shoe: tongue top, tongue embellishment, heel tab, Swoosh graphic and inside heel. Additional nods to James come through specific details in each colorway."
