The “James Gang” line is back! LeBron James and Nike had taken care to present a colorway with this name until the LeBron 18 before putting the idea on hold for the last two years. It was therefore necessary to do something heavy to relaunch the theme, and this LeBron 21 “James Gang”, renamed “Devotion” in Europe, has all the assets to be a hit.
This 21st signature model indeed sports an entirely red upper, with a domed (and shiny) “Swoosh” standing out on the outer vamp and FlyWire cables also in red. We find a slightly lighter red color to adorn the tongue and outsole. The laces are covered with the inscription “James Gang”.
The “Devotion” version is available on Basket4Ballers at a price of 200 euros.
Our verdict on the LeBron 21
It's the perfect move for Nike after a LeBron 20 that was a hit. The comma brand has risen to the challenge by concocting a different but no less qualitative model.
The LeBron 21 has its specific features, including a more durable model, offering good support and equipped with a perfectly adapted sole. There is also this original theme to adorn its colors, highlighting different rare pearls from around the world such as Akoya pearls from Japan, Abalone pearls or even the latest “Conchiolin” on the same theme. The “Swoosh” design was one of the highlights of the previous LeBron. This one also stands out in an original way.
Clearly, LeBron James can be satisfied with the work of his equipment supplier, and it is no coincidence that the King wears the LeBron 21 almost every game. On arrival, the pair which is easily one of the best in its category for this 2023 school year, a real little gem!
