One of the more frustrating things about basketball sneakers is that so often great colorways are reserved for player exclusives, which is to say, they’ll only be seen on the court and will never hit the market for sale to the public.
Last year, Nike decided to change things up a bit with “LeBron Watch,” taking advantage of the immediate buzz created by whatever new colorway LeBron revealed he was wearing on any given night with the LeBron 15. On those nights, that sneaker LeBron was wearing woudl come available on the SNKRS app in limited supply, including a number of colorways inspired by other legendary Nike shoes, like the Griffey LeBron 15s.
On Monday, Nike announced LeBron Watch was returning later this year and fans of the LeBron 16 should keep their eyes on the app (and set up notifications) for when those exclusives will become available.

“The LeBron 16 reignites LeBron Watch by taking cues from some of his favorite signature sneakers and iconic silhouettes. Inspired by player exclusives and celebrated Nike classics, this season’s shoes reimagine the retro concept. Stay tuned to SNKRS for more info and keep your eyes on the King.”
We’ll have to see what LeBron has cooked up for the 16, but you can be sure they’ll be accompanied by plenty of fire emojis and SHEESH’s.
