LeBron 13 Taps a Nike Basketball Classic For Inspiration

The Kobe 11 recently borrowed a colorway from a classic Air Jordan. The Kyrie 2 is drawing inspiration from the Air Flight Huarache for its latest look. And now the LeBron 13 is getting in on the action, taking design cues from an old Nike Basketball favorite for an upcoming colorway.

The Nike LeBron 13 Command Force appropriates the OG “Hot Lime” colorway of the Air Command Force, famously worn by Billy Ho’ in the classic movie White Men Can’t Jump, for a modernized take on a ’90s aesthetic. Stylishly punctuating the throwback look, a “NIKE AIR” logo even appears on each heel of the white-and-lime LeBron 13, a first for the model but a regular feature on the Command Force.

The Nike LeBron 13 Command Force release date is tentatively set for June 11, hitting stores just in time for some outdoor summer hooping, a la Billy Ho’ and Sidney Deane.
