Nike Basketball opens the LeBron 23 chapter with a colorway built on legacy. The “The Chosen One and the One Who Chose” edition pairs two different shoes in one package, tying LeBron’s long-running nickname to his son Bronny’s decision to take the stage beside him. The look blends trophy-ready metals with Lakers-friendly tones, turning a family milestone into performance footwear.

Design & Story

Each shoe takes its own lane. One half glows in Metallic Gold with a bold “Chosen” tag at the heel—LeBron’s side of the story. The other is drenched in deep royal-purple shine with an embroidered “The One Who Chose” label—Bronny’s perspective. Both sit on black woven/textile uppers for containment, finished with icy translucent outsoles for grip. Subtle crown monograms interlock across the pair, a small emblem of connection that reads even before you clock the labels.

This is celebration dressed as hoop tech: regal metals, playoff poise, and a narrative that reaches beyond the box score. Fans of the LeBron line will recognize the sculpted sidewalls and sleek containment system that nod to Foamposite heritage while staying true to modern LeBron performance DNA.
