LeBron James Debuts Nike Royalty TR; Vintage Nike Dunk Low 'University Blue' Unveiled

LeBron James Unveils New Nike Royalty TR Shoe at Team USA Practice Ahead of Fall Release

Nike is once more capitalizing on the Olympic spotlight to introduce a new product. All eyes are on LeBron James to potentially premiere the Nike LeBron 22 signature shoe in Paris, but the King has other plans in mind as he reveals a never-before-seen Nike shoe to the public, according to Sneaker News.

This new model has no discernible LeBron insignia or logos, which could be the Nike Royalty Trainer. Nevertheless, a new indistinguishable logo is present at the heel, which may be a new logo under the Nike LeBron umbrella. The midsole is elevated as the foam ascends into what appears to be a leather upper, and the shoes are designed with a bootie-like construction that lacks a traditional tongue. It shares numerous principles with other Nike training shoes available on the market, including the ubiquitous all-purpose Metcon line.

Anticipation is high for the release of the Nike Royalty TR, expected to be available for purchase at $130 in the fall of 2024. This training shoe, which has yet to be released in any other colorway, is set to make a splash with numerous colorways scheduled for release this season.

Nike Dunk Low “University Blue” Gets Vintage Treatment for Fall/Holiday 2024 Release

Nike Dunks' resale prices have plummeted significantly since the model's peak in 2019/2020. However, specific "Be True To Your School" colorways remain subject to substantial markups.

The recently released “University Blue” pair, with a projected release date of Fall/Holiday 2024, will pique the interest of sneaker enthusiasts. This could be your chance if you've been eyeing the “UNC” Dunk Low from 2021 but held back due to the $300 price tag. The unique design, overlays, lining, and outsole in the eponymous hue and the base and midsole in “Coconut Milk” and 'Sail' create a naturally aged, vintage appearance. The 'Gym Red' Nike logo on the insoles completes the official color scheme, adding a unique touch to the design.

The Nike Dunk Low "Coconut Milk/University Blue/Gym Red/Sail/White" will be released in men's sizes for $115 during the Fall/Holiday 2024 season.
