If you’re a sneakerhead, a LeBron James fan, someone who really loves the Looney Toons, or all of the above, the latest bit of sneaker news to drop from Nike about upcoming releases for All-Star is something you’ve got to check out.
Nike unveiled the Nike LeBron 17 ‘Monstars’ edition, which commemorates LeBron starring in the sequel Michael Jordan’s iconic 1996 film, ‘Space Jam 2.’ They feature incredible ‘Space Jam’ details on the insole and are a shout out to the team of fictional aliens that take the powers of NBA players in the original movie before Michael Jordan has to beat them in a game to get the powers back to the players. The shoes will go on sale in February, according to Sneaker News.
Nike also unveiled uniforms for the Tune Squad and the Monstars for Space Jam 2 that are expected to go on sale closer to the movie’s release in 2021.
Damian Lillard, who wears No. 0 for the Portland Trail Blazers, is starring in the movie and perhaps the No. 0 on the shoe is a shout out to the fictional alien who will steal his powers in the reboot. With the Lakers in New York City tonight, perhaps this is the day LeBron will take the court in the ‘Monstars’ shoes.
