The 'Prime 96' Nike LeBron 21 Releases This Week

A second Deion Sanders-inspired colorway of LeBron James' signature shoe will soon hit retailers, joining the upcoming "Prime 93" LeBron 21 release.

This time, there's a special version of the LeBron 21 that's inspired by Prime Time's Air Diamond Turf Max '96. Fans may remember that during the 2024 NBA All-Star Game, James debuted the mash-up sneaker by lacing up a black and white iteration of the shoe and then wore a white and red colorway during Round 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs. This upcoming "Prime 96" pair is identical to the latter pair, featuring a Diamond Turf-inspired upper paired with Zoom Air cushioning at the midsole.

Despite images of the sneaker surfacing, release details for the "Prime 96" LeBron 21 have yet to be announced by Nike. Check back soon for official updates.

UPDATE (04/23): Nike has confirmed that the Air DT Max 96'-inspired "Prime 96" LeBron 21 will release on Friday, April 25, via SNKRS and at select retailers for $200. Grab a closer look at the style below.
