The LeBron 3 is the latest sneaker in Nike's (NYSE:NKE +1.47 percent) arsenal to get a modern vintage makeover.
The design pays respect to LeBron James' native state of Ohio as well as his family.
The Nike LeBron 3 "BBZ" features an all-black foundation made of a variety of materials including leather, suede, and patent leather.
Red, white, and blue eyestays are highlighted as a homage to the Ohio state flag and the Akron symbol.
The inscription "BBZ" is stitched on the left medial toe, commemorating James' three children, Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri.
The right shoe features Akron's "330" area code as a nod to his birthplace.
To complete off the design, silver hardware is featured throughout the sneaker for further technological detailing that sits atop the Zoom Air bubbles atop a black and grey rubber outsole.
The Nike LeBron 3 "BBZ" will be available at select shops and online at Nike in the coming months.
