A trio of all new Nike LeBron 12s are on the horizon and Nike is filling us in on the inspirations that went into each design. 


First up is the "NSRL." Delayed on several times, the NSRL looks to finally have a solid release date of November 28. The NSRL draws its inspiration from its namesake, the Nike Sports Research Lab. It's this lab that provides Nike with the information required to build a better quality product and fulfill the needs of King James.

Next up is the "Data" model. Basketball, like just about every other sport, is a numbers game. Stats are covered, researched, and analyzed to death and no player puts numbers across the board like James. Versatile and extraordinarily efficient, James' Data model is a tribute to his statistical prowess. Fans can pick up their pairs beginning December 20.

The last of the upcoming releases is the "Trillion Dollar Man." Many have made the argument that James' could possibly be superhuman. His combination of size, speed, strength, and skill is matched by no other and he be very well be the blueprint for the athlete of the future. Luckily for us, the future is now. Look for these to hit shelves beginning December 30.
