Lebron James Reunites with Black Female Designers in Update of Highly Coveted Sneaker

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.
