Nike is dropping new FAMU-inspired LeBron sneakers. Check them out

Since the partnership between Florida A&M and LeBron James was announced in 2021, the Rattlers have been outfitted in some of the most visually appealing exclusive footwear in college sports.

There have been FAMU iterations of the LeBron XVIII, XVIII Low, XIX, and XX recently.  

Earlier in 2023, a retail launch of the FAMU version of the Lebron VII took place to great fanfare, with the sneakers selling out quickly in many locations.

FAMU and retailer APB are teaming up to release two colorways of the Lebron XX this summer.

One sneaker design features a coconut milk upper with a snake-scaled texture and green and orange dual Swooshes on the lateral side.

The APB and a LeBron logo appear on each respective tongue. Additional APB and FAMU branding also appears on the insoles. These are the same sneakers worn by head football coach Willie Simmons and the Marching 100. 

The second sneaker in the set sports a peach cream upper with a reverse of the coloration of the dual Nike Swoosh on the lateral side. A white and orange midsole and orange rubber outsole complete the package. 

Both the FAMU x APB x Nike LeBron XX is scheduled to debut on May 9, 2023, via APB and the Nike SNKRS app.
