A ‘Space Jam’ Nike LeBron 17 could be releasing during All-Star weekend

Space Jam 2 is scheduled to hit theaters during the summer of 2021. The direct sequel to the 1996 film, Space Jam, will be directed by Malcolm D. Lee and star LeBron James in the role that Michael Jordan first made famous. In anticipation of this theatrical release, there could be a pair of “Space Jam” Nike LeBron 17 sneakers on the way.

Nike has not yet confirmed the release of the “Space Jam” pack but there are reports indicating that the shoes could be coming soon. According to Sole Collector, the “Monstars” LeBron 17 is expected to release on Feb. 14 followed by the “Toon Squad” LeBron 17 Low arriving on Feb. 15.

According to GOAT’s release calendar, two “Space Jam” Nike LeBron 17s are now expected to release during the 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend, which includes a Monstars-inspired colorway along with a “Toon Squad” makeup of the unreleased Lebron 17 Low. As of now, an early look at both pairs have yet to be revealed.

NBA All-Star weekend takes place in Chicago from February 14-16. The last time the All-Star game was in the Windy City was 1988. Jordan offered the home crowd 40 points in the game after staging an epic showdown with Dominique Wilkins during one of the most iconic dunk contests ever.
