To celebrate the milestone, the Swoosh has drawn inspiration from 23 legacy-defining moments in the NBA veteran's career, promising to bring them to life through the all-new prices. The "Grand Opening" pair recalls the 18-year-old's first NBA game—specifically the shoes he wore.

Clad in a predominantly white-and-red color scheme, the LeBron 23 "Grand Opening" references the Air Zoom Generation 1 James laced up on Oct. 29, 2003 as the Cleveland Cavaliers faced the Sacramento Kings. The AZG was effectively the Nike LeBron 1 and has since been reissued in a number of original colorways.
