Facts
This Pigalle x NikeLab LeBron 12 Elite was the first official collaboration between Stéphane Ashpool’s French fashion label Pigalle and LeBron James’ Nike signature series. Designed for off-court wear, the shoe boasts a white Megafuse upper with speckled detailing and an anodized chrome finish on the shoe’s vertical wings. Other details include extra memory foam in the collar, a rubber Pigalle badge on the leather tongue, a geometric lace lock, and co-branded heel pulls. The shoe’s signature translucent hexagonal outsole unit also features an additional sixth Nike Zoom unit for increased explosiveness and responsive cushioning. The sneaker was launched at a basketball clinic for young athletes in Shanghai during LeBron’s summer tour of Asia in 2015.
