August 06, 2024 by Ricardo Viramontes

Whenever you step into the barbershop, the goal is always to leave with a fresh cut, embodying precision, sharpness, and attention to detail that boosts your confidence and energy. This is the inspiration behind the special-edition THE SHOP x NIKE LeBron 21 sneaker, featuring a velour metallic gold upper with a ripple design reminiscent of a durag, cords resembling braids, and an aqua-blue heel symbolizing the blue Barbicide glass container. Honoring The Shop, classic Black hairstyles and accessories, and the iconic legacy of LeBron James, this sneaker speaks to the essence of always striving to be A CUT ABOVE.

In this fictionalized hot-take debate show, they fabricate tall tales, they take cheap shots, and they demand a recount of LeBron’s 38,387 and counting points. But one thing remains true… numbers don’t lie.
