Nike LeBron 11 – ‘Forging Iron’

In a very similar colorway to the ‘Big Bang’ LeBron IX from the 2011 All-Star Weekend, the ‘Forging Iron’ LeBron 11 is definitely all orange everything with the bright color seen on every notable feature like the Dynamic Flywire cables, Armorposite upper & Hyperfused mesh. All of this sits on top of a slight Walter White meth-tinted blue translucent outsole.

This sneaker is suppose to simulate the color of malleable iron so hot that it glows orange. The metaphor is suppose to be that LeBron James doesn’t take shortcuts the way there are no shortcuts when it comes to forging iron.

To hook up perfectly with the sneakers, there is a pair of Nike Elite socks made in a matching colorway and with the LBJ logo stitched at the top of the crew.

The official release info from Nike mentions that the graphic effect seen on ‘Forging Iron’ LeBron 11 will be available for customization thru Nike iD sometime in November so check back here for more on that.
