John Elliott‘s history with Nike is enough to inspire any up and coming entrepreneur to persevere. After sending letters to Nike as a youth — only to be subsequently rejected by the Beaverton-based giant — he’s now partnering with the brand on multiple projects. Among the foremost is his upcoming collaboration with LeBron James.

Elliott’s Nike LeBron Icon collaboration first previewed back in May. Original Nike Mens Air Max 90 Trainers Grey White CD8490 00 himself, the focused design adorns sleek lines and angular curves for a sporty yet contemporary confluence. Its semi translucent upper partners well with a fully translucent outsole. The two are then parted by full-length Visible Air, a favored cushioning tool of James’ who has gone on record to confess his love for the Air Max series — especially the Air Max 270 React ENG Travis Scott Cactus Trails.

Elliott, of course, grounded his Nike union with his first release of the Vandal Capital. Sail and Black iterations released to Casual sellouts, for which the Icon will likely suffer a similar fate. Seen here are official images of the White/Black edition. We’ve magista seen previews of a Black pair.

Slated to release on this weekend on August 4th, a detailed look at the John Elliott x Nike LeBron Icon can be seen below. In the meantime, check out what’s in John’s wardrobe.
