The LeBron 12 EXT Rubber City proved one of the most original designs on King James’s off-court-remixed signature shoe, boasting blacked-out rubber and suede on the upper as a tribute to Akron’s rubber manufacturing, notably its tire industry. Tires, of course, generally are limited to black. The shoes, thankfully, no longer are.
The NIKEiD LeBron 12 EXT launches on Monday, July 27, and it starts with the “Rubber City” take on the shoe. That is to say, rubber tiles make up the entirety of the upper, while suede-flocked overlays add a pop of premium flair, and the whole set-up can be executed in a variety of colors.
How many colors? We’ll have to wait and see but, as you can see, monochromatic red is absolutely an option. Launching July 27, a fully customized pair will run you $295.
