The name Trillion Dollar Man plays on this, emphasizing LeBron James' exceptional on-court capabilities and Nike's technology.

The shoe showcases a primary color of Reflective Blue, complemented by highlights of Vibrant Bright Orange and Electric Green. The Hyperposite overlay comes in metallic silver. The shoe also features an icy blue translucent outsole. A motherboard graphic embellishes the outsole's multicolored Zoom pods.

What are the significant technological components of the LeBron 12?

This sneaker incorporates Nike's Megafuse technology, Flywire for enhanced support, and a hexagonal Zoom Air system developed for optimal cushioning and responsiveness.

This technology, introduced in the LeBron 12, took four years to create and was a first for Nike basketball shoes.

What are the distinctive design and materials used in this shoe?

The LeBron 12 boasts a Hyperfuse upper in Reflective Blue, providing both aesthetic appeal and durability. Additionally, a Hyperposite overlay enhances its structure and is cleverly positioned on the shoe's sides for lockdown, rather than on the forefront and toebox - a change made in response to LeBron's feedback on the previous model. Apart from the standard LeBron branding, the sneaker has the numeral 6 on the lace lock, a tribute to LeBron's Miami Heat jersey number. This shoe also has the distinctive Nike LeBron 12 multicolor sole.
