The Nike LeBron 18 EP ‘Chinese New Year’ rings in the year of the ox with a bold red finish throughout the KnitPosite 2.0 upper, secured with an integrated lacing system for a lockdown fit. A metallic gold Swoosh at the toe is matched by midsole detailing and ornate heel embroidery, partially obscured by a bright blue TPU heel counter. ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai’ — a common greeting expressing well-wishes for a prosperous new year — is printed on the sockliner. Responsive cushioning arrives via a full-length Zoom Air bag, its back half nestled within a visible Max Air unit under the heel.
