LeBron is back with a new design that celebrates the defining era of his dominance. This season, Nike is dropping the "Miami Twice" colorway for the classic LeBron 23, paying homage to the dramatic end of the 2013 NBA Finals—a favorite of both hype beasts and court kings alike.

The LeBron 23 “Miami Twice” Channels Championship DNA

The Nike LeBron 23 is going deep into the archives, bringing back the heat of the 2013 NBA Finals on October 9 with the new "Miami Twice" colorway. This re-imagining of the legendary LeBron 23 design delivers championship flair, referencing the Miami Heat winning back-to-back NBA titles and Finals MVP awards on June 20, 2013.

The colorway is inspired by the battle against the San Antonio Spurs, specifically the dramatic overtime win in Game 6 and LeBron's performance in Game 7, which was sealed with a "17-foot dagger". This shoe is built to reflect that clutch moment, featuring gold accents to symbolize the two consecutive rings and MVP trophies. You'll find the specific championship date on the heel or sockliner, a subtle nod to the legacy of the King and the final piece of the two-peat.

But these shoes aren't only made to shine—they're also backed by serious tech, including redesigned ZoomX foam and a "Crown Containment System" designed to handle your highest jump shots, just as LeBron handled the pressure of the moment.

Built to Perform, Designed to Shine

It's impossible to talk about LeBron James' shoe releases without mentioning his own dominance on the court. As one of the greatest players of all time, LeBron regularly releases collab pieces with Nike to celebrate defining career moments. This latest release goes back to the basics, with tech and material enhancements designed to help you dominate the court. The new 23 model features:

  • ZoomX Cushioning: Nike’s lightest and most responsive cushioning, adapted for LeBron’s explosive playing style, featuring a drop-in midsole that converts every ounce of impact into energy return, giving players a springier stride and smoother transitions.
  • Crown Containment System: A mesh netting midfoot innovation that acts like a tailored harness, providing lockdown security and targeted support without adding excess bulk.
  • Carbon-Fiber Shank: Hidden within the midsole, this provides essential torsional support to distribute pressure throughout your foot for more comfort and stability.
  • This colorway will appeal most to athletic-addicted sneaker collectors looking for a subtle way to celebrate a defining moment in NBA history.
