Nike is taking it back to LeBron James’ birth year, “1984,” for the latest colorway of his secondary signature sneaker, the LeBron Nxxt Gen.

The shoe starts with a neutral-toned wolf grey mesh upper, harnessed by a bright blue suede overlay along the rear medial quarter. Iridescent and black Swooshes adorn the lateral and medial sides, with PE-style ‘Nike Air’ and ‘LBJ’ embroidery in black running down the tongues. Below sits a white Zoom loaded midsole and semi-translucent pink outsole.

The “1984” LeBron Nxxt Gen will release on Thursday, March 16 for $160.
