Dropping as the first installment of a four-part collection with the New York-based fashion designer, the Mimi Plange x Nike LeBron 18 Low ‘Higher Learning’ takes inspiration from a varsity jacket, an American wardrobe staple that symbolizes the intersection of school and sport. The sneaker makes use of a white textile upper with striped crimson accents and a fuzzy chenille Swoosh on the lateral side. An embroidered lion patch adorns the mustard-colored heel, while the medial quarter panel features smaller patches in keeping with the varsity sports theme. A graphic on the sockliner displays LeBron’s ‘Just a Kid from Akron’ tagline.
