There’s never a dull moment in the Nike universe, and, just this morning, the Swoosh brand blessed us with a glorious new release: of the LeBron XXIII “Miami Twice” style, to be exact, which is available for $210 at nike.com as we speak and is one of the most attractive Nike basketball shoes we’ve laid eyes on to date.

Honoring LeBron James‘ 23rd season in the NBA, this particular kick is outfitted in the “Miami Twice” colorway: which itself pays homage to the time James signed with the Miami Heat team circa 2010, winning back-to-back NBA titles and Finals MVPs. Inspired by the city’s tropical energy, the shoe looks just as fresh — powered by holographic overlays, pops of Total Orange on the tongue, and an intricately stitched Flyknit upper swathed in Nike’s Smokey Blue hue.

This fresh arrival is nothing if not performance-focused, what with its full-length ZoomX foam midsole for optimal bounce; carbon fiber plate for stability during all your on-court maneuvers; an outsole equipped with a multi-directional traction pattern for prime grip; and an overall lightweight design for playing at your highest level while keeping responsiveness the priority.

Will the Nike LeBron XXIII “Miami Twice” Basketball Shoe help you score back-to-back titles? We’re making no promises, as that’s usually reserved only for colloquial “G.O.A.T.s” like James himself. Will you notice a significant improvement in your speed and overall movements as you shoot free throws and carry out game-winning floaters? Now that right there is very likely.

Just a few days ago, LeBron James left millions of fans breathless as he teased a “Second Decision” that many thought was a retirement announcement but ended up being a Hennessy ad. Based on the waves of interest (alongside confusion, shock, and, ultimately, relief) the incident sparked, our bet is that the Nike release in question will leverage all of this effectively — prompting the LeBron XXIII “Miami Twice” to sell out at the speed of light, which is exactly the fate that affected the first colorway of the Nike LeBron XXIII drop.

Make sure you aren’t left scouring StockX for the sneaker (and paying more than you have to) after missing out on scoring it directly at Nike. While it’s still in stock, say “yes” to the LeBron XXIII “Miami Twice” Basketball Shoe, showing your true devotion to the king of basketball.
