Nike LeBron 12 “Flight” is the Stuff of Mythology

The latest colorway of LeBron James’s signature shoe is on deck, dubbed the Nike LeBron 12 Flight and boasting remarkable looks.

The bold new XII eschews the graphic-adorned overlays that have proliferated of late on the model, but that unpatterned aesthetic belies an overall eye-popping look. Metallic silver jumps off the Hyperposite overlays, as well as the Megafuse construction which shifts between grey and silver for a tonal, shimmering effect.

Bold yellow accents add a pop of contrast color, including on the distinct lace-cover, which employs an orange-to-yellow gradient fade along with what appears to be an image of a griffin — the mythical creature that combines a lion and an eagle.

No word yet on a release date, so keep it locked to NB for updates as they roll in, and check out several more shots below.
