The Caribbean Women Behind The Design of Lebron 16s

ICYMI, LeBron James revealed his Lebron16’s women’s sneakers last month and it sold out in less than 5 minutes!

Made in collaboration with Brandice Daniel’s Harlem Fashion Row, the Nike LeBron 16 HFR featured the collective effort of three female designers; Project Runway’s Kimberly Goldson, Undra Celeste, who is of Guyanese heritage, and Grenadian reppin’ Fe Noel, as well as, Nike’s global basketball footwear designer, Meline Khachatourian.

The design was inspired by King James’ quote that, “African-American women are some of the strongest people on earth.”

According to NIKE, “The women of Harlem’s Fashion Row paired the durable Battleknit 2.0 upper with regal gold highlights, interchangeable straps and a crown that doubles as a bracelet to create a symbol of the ever-enduring strength of women of color.”

Take a closer look at the details and amazing design of the HFR x LeBron 16 sneaker by Nike…

Strength. Loyalty. Dignity. Courage. Those are the four words that adorn the soles of the new HFR x LeBron 16 sneaker.

These also go all the way up to a women’s size 18.

These dropped September 7th, where they were available exclusively via the Nike SNKRS app and nike.com in North America.
