Nike Announces LeBron James’ First Training Silhouette

Nike Announces LeBron James' First Training Silhouette

As a devoted sports enthusiast and longtime follower of LeBron James‘ illustrious career, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming release of the Nike LeBron TR1 (Trainer 1). With 22 years under his belt in the NBA, it’s evident that LeBron’s dedication to excellence transcends mere basketball prowess. His first-ever training shoe promises to be a game-changer for athletes worldwide, as he continues to push the boundaries of performance footwear.


In his 22nd year playing in the NBA, LeBron James is preparing to launch the 22nd installment of his signature Nike LeBron shoe series. Although he’s previously designed basketball shoes outside of his main Nike contract, which were typically priced as budget alternatives, he’s broadening his collaboration with Nike by introducing a new product line – the first training shoe from the LeBron collection, called the Nike LeBron TR1 (Trainer 1)

Last year, there were whispers about this shoe, and I finally caught sight of it during James’ remarkable Olympic Games performance earlier this year. Now, after some official sneak peeks of the new trainer, Nike has made it official! The TR1 boasts an “ergonomic and lightweight design,” which means the traditional strobel unit is replaced by athletes getting a direct connection to the foam cushioning. To top it off, a brand-new inverted waffle outsole supports essential movements. This shoe’s glove-like bootie, paired with a wide last, aims to counteract the swelling feet often encounter during training sessions

According to James, the TR1 shoe is ideal for athletes who are consistently striving for excellence and dedicate themselves to training rigorously, whether it’s morning, noon, or night. This footwear is designed with versatility in mind, allowing athletes to utilize it during any exercise routine, regardless of location or time

The new design of the “Dunk Man” will be unveiled in its gray and neon green color scheme on September 19, available through Nike SNKRS and certain stores for $130 USD. Following this, a “Zero Dark 30” version with a single tone aesthetic is set to release on October 10. The “Purple Rain” edition will become available on October 23, the day after the NBA resumes play for the 2024-25 season. Lastly, an orange colorway themed around “Better With Age” is scheduled to appear in stores on November
