Nike is bringing back the King’s second signature shoe as a Nike LeBron 2 retro is set to take place in Fall 2022, according to Complex‘s Brendan Dunne.

Worn by LeBron James throughout the 2004-2005 season, the Nike LeBron 2 was a clear evolution from the Air Zoom Generation. The Nike LeBron 2 was built with a Pebax shell cage that encapsulated Zoom Air as hefty Max Zoom units were added into the heel and forefoot.

The Nike LeBron 2 also included a removable ankle strap for a locked-down fit, extra padding, and a ballistic mesh upper with leather overlays. The LeBron 2 also donned the “LJ23” logo, laser engravings, and LeBron’s lion logo debut.

The Nike LeBron 2 debuted in a black, red, and white colorway and is known for other iterations, including the “Dunkman,” “All-Star Game,” “Chamber of Fear,” and other colorways.

A release date for the Nike LeBron 2 has not been confirmed by Nike. However, the retros intended rollout is set to take place in September, according to documents viewed by Complex. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
