LeBron James Channels Prince for the Nike LeBron TR1 "Purple Rain"

Avid LeBron James fans would remember that he once channelled Prince in 2015 for his Halloween costume. As a nod to the Prince-inspired outfit and to one of the most memorable LBJ moments off-the-court at the Cleveland Cavaliers' Halloween party that year, LeBron and Nike are releasing a shoe in honor of the legendary artist. In an unforgettable moment where King James performed Prince's hit song "Purple Rain" in an outfit that resembled the purpe-hued one Prince once wore, the upcoming LeBron TR1 "Purple Rain" drops in stunning all-purple colorway. The deep court purple base complements the action grape accents, a nod to Prince's signature style. Paying tribute to LeBron and Prince, both of which are cultural icons, the shoe is slated to drop later this week.
