The Story Behіnd LeBron 18 ‘We Are Fаmіly’: Nіke’ѕ Commemorаtіve Sпeаker for LeBron Jаmeѕ’ Hometown Exрlored.

The King and Nike continued to launch a very special new colorway called “We are Family”. This color scheme is dedicated to paying tribute to and celebrating the charity fund “The LeBron James Family Foundation” that has created opportunities for more than 1,400 students in their hometown of Akron through the opening of the “I Promise” school.

This special school will support, orient and educate children who are at risk of “falling behind” due to life circumstances.

Lebron James once gave a press interview: “This school is very important to me because our vision is to create a place specifically for the children in Akron – those who really need it the most. These children can go astray and fall through the cracks of society if we don’t actually do something.



We have conducted research and research over the years and understand clearly what is needed to motivate them. If we reach out early enough, we can hope to put them on the right track towards a good and bright future for themselves and their families.”

Overall, Lebron 18 “We are Family” wears a turquoise color tone called “Green Abyss”. The upper part of the shoe is decorated with polka dots and Nike Swoosh in Tropical Twist color, helping the entire shoe stand out on the Battle Knit 2.0 material.

The most notable point of the shoes is probably on the tongue with the words “We are Family” imprinted under the soft Air cushioning. More specifically, “We are Family” is a cohesive slogan, expressing the love that Lebron and “The Lebron James Family Foundation” have towards the large family with more than 1,400 members in his hometown of Akron. This is also shown in the image of stick people holding hands to show support and connection.



On the inside of the shoe lining is the Logo of the Charitable Foundation “The Lebron James Family Foundation”.

Going down to the sole, we have the bottom half of the Lebron 18 “We are Family” in the Hyper Crimson color scheme, which contrasts very well with the Green Abyss color scheme above, helping to increase the prominence of the shoe. .

This can be considered a pair of shoes with great spiritual value for Lebron in particular as well as for students at Akron in general. Besides, this color scheme was also enthusiastically received by fans around the world when it was just released not long ago.
