Lebron James Reunites with Black Female Designers in Update of Highly Coveted Sneaker
By Jazmin Brooks · Updated October 23, 2020

NBA All-Star, Lebron James teamed up with designers Fe Noel, Undra Celeste, and Kimberly Goldson to remix the HFR x Nike Lebron 16 sneaker that debuted last year. The creative forces updated the style in a spring-ready colorway, retaining its popular silhouette.

The second drop of the Nike Lebron 16 is highly anticipated. The original kicks sold out in just 5 minutes, and left sneaker enthusiasts wanting more.

With the response to the original drop being so positive, fans everywhere were left hopeful that this would be just the beginning of an on-going project. The moment was historic after all: three notable black female designers joining James and Nike to creat their own shoe.

The HFR x Nike Lebron 16 sneaker will be released Friday, May 10th on Nike SNKRS app and select retailers at 10am.
