Giving the nod to the Lakers’ origins in Minnesota, the LeBron 18 EP ‘Lakers Heritage’ emerges with a retro team colorway. Modeled after their road uniforms, the shoe’s upper is built with BattleKnit 2.0, finished in black that works gold fibers into its construction. The University Gold heel is complemented by Coast on the tongue, with Concord marking the translucent heel counter, which offers stability. Underfoot, the Cushlon midsole houses full-length Zoom Air, with visible Max Air in the heel offering further cushioning. An extra-durable rubber outsole is included for traction.
