NBA star LeBron James keeps dropping new shoes and new colorways weekly. When he isn’t dropping new styles for his signature sneakers, he’s re-inventing some of Nike‘s catalogue. Such is the case with the new LeBron James Nike Air Force 1 in “Voltage Green”, a glowing sneaker that reimagines the AF1 with a shocking green color, black and white laces, and X-ray prints of crowns on the insoles. Yeah, it’s got a sci-fi look to it (like it was cooked up in a lab).
The LeBron James x Nike Air Force 1 Low in Voltage Green is scheduled for spring ’26 with a $200 price tag. Style code IQ5368-300, for those who are already hunting down a pair.
The biggest switch-up between this new pair and the previous release sits right on the upper. The shiny black patent leather is replaced with full lenticular plastic, a material that shifts color and graphics depending on how you move or look at it. Walk past someone, and the shoe changes according to the lighting. Product images show the tongue logo flipping between “Nike LBJ” and LeBron’s crown logo.
The rest of the details stick to the formula introduced on the earlier pair. You still get the crown-shaped rubber midsole, a quilted liner that leans premium without trying too hard, “Air Chosen 1” text replacing the usual Air Force 1 tongue branding, “LJ-23” dubraes, and “LBJ” stamped on the heel.
All of this arrives during a milestone run for LeBron James, now in his 23rd NBA season at age 41. Nike has clearly decided that a celebrate the champ in the best way possible: plenty of new sneakers. Bruce Kilgore’s original 1982 design is still very present in the LeBron James Nike Air Force 1 in “Voltage Green”, sure, but it’s been filtered through the player’s current era.
Nike SNKRS and select Nike Sportswear retailers will handle the release. The color is so specific that it barely resembles other Voltage Green sneakers. You’ll know it when you see it. And yeah, you will see it… from a mile away.
