LeBron James and Kylian Mbappe, despite being from different sports, have come together to collaborate on “The Chosen 2” Pack, marking a rare occasion of mutual celebration and partnership. This exclusive footwear collection will first launch internally at Nike and House of Innovation Paris on January 7th, followed by a broader release online and in stores on January 9th.
“The Chosen 2” Pack includes two models: the Nike LeBron 18, LeBron James’ latest shoe, and the Nike Mercurial, a renowned soccer cleat favored by players like Mbappe. Both shoes prominently feature the logos and signatures of these two sporting icons throughout their designs. The Nike LeBron 18 boasts a distinctive upper, notably with its uniquely colored sole.
In contrast, the Mercurial stands out with dual swooshes on its upper, primarily utilizing knit technology and flywire to minimize weight. It’s complemented by a protective layer to resist tearing during gameplay or shooting. The cleats are coated with a material resembling titanium under heat, enhancing their resilience. Street Vibe particularly praises the Mercurial for its exceptional sole design in this pack. Take a look at some images of “The Chosen 2” Pack as shared by Street Vibe.
Nike has also committed to donating a portion of the proceeds from “The Chosen 2” Pack sales to IBKM (Inspired by Kylian Mbappe) and the LeBron James Family Foundation.
