And following tradition, it is already anticipated that for this tournament they will wear the LeBron 21 model, before its transition to Nike's official Kobe Brand University.
All in all, the swoosh brand presented two models of the Nike LeBron 21 UCONN PE, designed especially for UCONN.
On the one hand we will have the version “Away”, which comes in a combination of midnight navy blue, university red and white. On the other side, the edition “Alternate” will opt for a black, white, and midnight navy palette.
Both versions stand out for showing off a high-quality nubuck upper, with the iconic logo of the UCONN Husky dog embroidered on the tongue of the left shoe, and are equipped with Zoom Air cushioning and solid rubber soles.
But despite the interest that this model may generate among fans and collectors, these will not be put up for sale. The Nike LeBron 21 UCONN PE editions will remain exclusive for players and the staff of the UCONN Huskies basketball team, and will accompany them during March Madness 2024.
