The Light Silver mesh upper is tightly woven for a symmetrical pattern throughout. On the lateral side, stacked Swooshes send the message home that LeBron is a Nike homeboy. The top one is Hyper Royal with a pale green outline, while the one underneath is a pale yellow with a stitched outline. The green outline of the top Swoosh extends off the shoe past the heel, almost like a little spur. The medial side features a single orange Swoosh, stitched in place with white thread.

Red trim lines the lace box and ankle, which has gray padding. The laces are also red with a gray “XX” lace dubrae as well as a black “X” lace tiedown. You’ll see that double X motif one more time in green on the tongue, stitched on top of the embedded LeBron signature. The tongue’s blue lining is lighter than the navy eyestays.

For even more fun, there’s a black midsole with white speckles at the heel. This transitions to white at the front. Under all of this is a multicolor outsole. The right shoe features orange and white swirls at the front with green and white swirls at the back, while the left one has blue and white swirls and red and white swirls.
