Nike Air Zoom Generation Retro Debut (2023) Overview

The Nike Air Zoom Generation Retro Debut (2023) celebrates LeBron James and the sneakers he sported during his NBA debut game with the Cleveland Cavaliers against the Sacramento Kings on October 29, 2003.

Classic Design with Modern Elements

This Debut version presents an authentic style, featuring an upper crafted from sleek white leather, complemented by textured leather overlays in white on the toe cap and black mesh detailing on the quarter panel and collar. The molded heel counter is also black. A distinctive white Nike swoosh, outlined in red, decorates the side panel. The inner sock liner in breathable white mesh, cushioned around the collar, contrasts with the black insole, which exhibits LeBron's brand in white.

Our team at Boxstock appreciates the sole unit, which includes a black and white foam midsole with Zoom Air encapsulation for added comfort, along with a white, red, and black outsole featuring a herringbone traction pattern. This iteration of the Nike Air Zoom Generation was released on August 1, 2023, at a retail price of $180.
