Graffiti Details on the Nike LeBron 17 Throwback to 2006 Grails
For anyone that’s been into sneakers for a hot minute, the edition of the latest should evoke vivid memories of a legendary release all the way back in 2006: the Lebron 4.
Objectively, the 17 is a better performing shoe, with its Knitposite upper and beefy Max Air/Zoom Air cushioning combo, so it’ll hold up to the rigours of The Chosen One. Thankfully, its graphic and colour treatment is a faithful homage to its predecessor, a silhouette which has clearly informed the current signature.
While the original 4 fetches four-digit resale figures, this new homage sneaker should be a bit easier to cop.
Get ready for a June 5 release of the Lebron 17 ‘Graffiti’.
UPDATE: These are now scheduled for a June 25 release.
