The lucky number “23″ marked a significant era for two NBA stars, Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Apparently, it was a big decision for James to give it up in honor of his Airness since he has made his mind up that he will be using his Olympic number “6″ next season. What a drastic change but the discretion remains to the number bearer.
With this, 10F Customs grabbed the chance of customizing a pair of Nike Air Max LeBron VII with James’ idea of his new jersey number incorporated in it. The shoe now comes in a Gucci-esque color scheme, rendering Black, Red, and Green both to the upper and sole.
Patent leather was used on the toe with textured leather as an overlay. A Red leather Swoosh popped up on the side panel which goes with the tongue and collar. The Flywire design in Black threading on the Green mid panel creates diamond-shaped forms in different sizes. The same Black/Red midsole was applied with the carved texts, “TWENTY” and “THREE” on each shoe. The metal top lace holders stay in place together with the L23 medallion.
You might be wondering where in this shoe you will find his future number “6″. The answer points to the sneaker’s name, “6ucci” since it was inspired by Gucci colorway with a little iteration on the Flywire part.
