LeBron James was a pretty acclaimed high school football player back in Akron, before he hung up the pads to focus exclusively on hoops his junior season. It’s entirely possible he was already near his gridiron ceiling, sure, that he’d have topped out as a middling college football player.
But what if that wasn’t the case? What if he could have had the same phenom-turns-superstar career path in the NFL as he’s had in the NBA? That’s the question asked by the latest colorway of his signature model, the Nike LeBron 12 What If?
The football theme is executed by way of a royal blue Megafuse upper overlaid with metallic silver Hyperfuse, ably recreating the palette of LBJ’s favorite NFL squad, the Dallas Cowboys, for whom, presumably, he’d have loved to play.
Hypothetical becomes reality on Saturday, when the Nike LeBron 12 What If? releases at select retailers. How will you answer?
