Nike Air Zoom Generation – White/Varsity Crimson/Navy (First Game)

The Nike Air Zoom Generation "First Game" is one of the most historically significant basketball sneakers ever made — the very shoe LeBron James wore in his NBA debut on October 29, 2003. A true grail for basketball and sneaker collectors alike, the Air Zoom Generation marked the beginning of LeBron's legendary Nike partnership and set the stage for one of the most celebrated sneaker dynasties in history. This retro release faithfully recreates that iconic moment in sport and culture.
