Nike pays tribute to the process that forms iron with the latest version of the Nike LeBron 11, entitled “Forging Iron.” Its unique blend of colors is taken from the molten metal’s metamorphosis. The fiery shades of orange represent the iron when the metal is at its most malleable – fresh from the furnace. A subtle fade effect represents sparks, while a metallic green hit on the Swoosh represents the transitional, temporary part of the process – cooling to a new shade and finished with an ice outsole. The technology involved in the process and in the creation of the new LeBron 11 makes for an overall nice overlap and good fit. The colorway is certainly a ray of sunshine during this time of year. Look out for a limited release at select retailers this November.
