With the Miami Heat playoff run off to a rollicking start, Nike has decided to release these eye-catching shoes in the signature line of the Heat's star player LeBron James.
The LEBRON 11 Everglades shoes feature a colorway inspired by Florida's Everglades region, one of the state's most distinct and unique features. The 2 million acre wetland ecosystem is seen across much of the Sunshine State, and is renowned for its vibrantly colored landscape. The colors, shapes and textures that mark the Everglades were taken as the inspiration for the LEBRON 11 Everglades, which feature tropical wetland-inspired graphics.
The shoe is built in an innovative way, with Hyperposite technology allowing for a lightweight lock-down without compromising on protection and responsiveness.
With the Miami Heat playoff run up and running, these shoes -- inspired by Florida's unique ecosystem and the star player of its NBA team -- will give LeBron and his fans something to look forward to regardless of how far the Heat go.
