The Nike LeBron 23 “From This Point Forward” dives straight back into the mythology that shaped LeBron James long before he stepped onto an NBA court. The storytelling centres around his now-iconic Sports Illustrated cover from February 2002, the moment a 17-year-old kid from Akron was stamped “The Chosen One” in bold type. It was a headline that followed him into adulthood, a prophecy he had to grow into, and ultimately a declaration he fulfilled.
The colourway mirrors the legacy. White, Stadium Green, Light Smoke Grey, and Black pull from the palette of St. Vincent–St. Mary, the high school that turned LeBron from a local phenomenon into a national headline.
At the heel, a gold “Chosen 1” badge nods directly to the tattoo LeBron got shortly after the cover dropped, translating a deeply personal symbol into a visible part of the sneaker’s build. Small touches like the subtle floral jacquard pattern on the upper bring a softness to the otherwise bold palette, almost like an acknowledgment of the journey between that teenager and today’s global icon. The frosty translucent outsole ties the theme together, finishing the silhouette with an icy glow that keeps the narrative intact without overwhelming the shoe.
