LeBron James continues to honor Deion Sanders' iconic sneaker legacy, following up on his hybrid takes of the LeBron 21 and the Air DT Max '96 from last year. Even though the LeBron 22 is set to drop in 2024, rumors have been swirling about several mash-ups of the LeBron 21 coming in 2025. Among them? A "Prime '93" edition that pays tribute to the classic Air Diamond Turf 93, which we've already seen teased.
Now, we get our first official look at this hybrid, and it’s everything we hoped for. The sneaker brings together the best of both worlds: a bold “Fire Red” upper with a large midfoot strap, and updated paneling that gives a clear nod to Coach Prime’s retro turf model. This fusion is a game-changer for sneakerheads and LeBron fans alike.
Mark your calendars: the “Prime ‘93” LeBron 21 mash-up is expected to drop on May 9 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, with a starting price of $180 USD. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates as we get closer to release day.
