If you were a fan of the Nike Air Zoom Generation "Court Purple" in terms of its color and material, but are looking for a more contemporary design, then you're in for a treat. The highly anticipated release of the Nike Zoom LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD in the "Hornets" color scheme is scheduled for early 2024. This pays homage to one of the King's initial stages in organized basketball, showcasing the brand's attention to detail.
If you're unfamiliar with it, the color scheme of the "Hornets" is a tribute to James' childhood recreation league team, the Summit Lake Hornets. The LeBron 9 "Summit Lake Hornets" from 2012 specifically pays homage to this, with a contemporary twist that combines a vibrant royal purple with a striking bright blue. This combination captures the spirit of The King's early days in his rec league, before he embarked on what many consider to be the greatest career of all time.
Although an exact release date has yet to be announced, it is anticipated that the forthcoming version will be priced similarly to the "First Game" edition of the enhanced NXXT Gen AMPD model, which is set at $170. These "First Game" variants are scheduled for release on January 5, 2024.
