Well, we’re two weeks into the NBA Playoffs, which means it should only be another, what, three or four months until someone is crowned champion? There could still be two games left in the Clippers-Blazers first round series, to give you an idea of how much the league hates expeditiousness. In the meantime, the latest colorway of LeBron James’s playoff shoe will hit stores next week.
The Nike LeBron 13 Elite Gold goes the stylishly-neutral route, as white covers the mesh upper and its Kurim exoskeleton, sharply juxtaposed by black on the liner, midsole and midfoot shank. And then, there’s that touch of championship optimism: gold appears on the Swoosh and midsole-speckling, channeling the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
The Nike LeBron 13 Elite Gold release date is set for May 5, just six or so months before the NBA Playoffs wrap-up.
