Like in past years, LeBron James has once again seemingly debuted his upcoming Nike signature shoe during an offseason workout, in preparation for his 23rd NBA season this fall.

On Monday night, James shared a video on Instagram of himself working out in a mysterious sneaker presumed to be the LeBron 23. This iteration dons a tonal black color scheme, which is typical for early wear-test versions of unreleased Nike footwear.

The video shows that the rumored Nike LeBron 23 features a low-cut upper with what appears to be a separate mudguard on the sides that wraps around to the heel. At the time of writing, the cushioning featured in the midsole is unknown.

Despite an early look from James himself, the LeBron 23 has yet to be unveiled by Nike. Check back soon for official updates in the weeks ahead.
