LeBron 18 Low x Mimi Plange "Higher Learning"

VARSITY VISION.

Unfashion visionary Mimi Plange follows her own rules, creating culture-spanning works that are elegant, expansive and completely unexpected. The LeBron 18 Low “Higher Learning” is her first sneaker design, inspired by varsity jackets that are a powerful symbol of sport and school. She colors the LeBron 18 Low with unblended shades of mustard, burgundy, pink and crimson, with letterman jacket-like striped ribbing along the sides. The blocky lettering in LeBron’s “Just a Kid from Akron” anthem and the spirited lion mascot stand for the primacy of education and the power of sport to transform lives.

Impact Cushioning and Responsiveness

A Max Air unit under the heel provides impact cushioning for big, strong players like LeBron. It's paired with full-length Nike React technology for smooth transitions and responsiveness.

Lightweight, Durable Materials

Woven material in the upper is lightweight and durable. Overlays provide structure and support.

THE EVOLUTION OF LIGHTWEIGHT SPEED

LeBron needs a light yet strong shoe to help harness and direct his force.

The upper combines a mix of lightweight materials, no-sew overlays and a structured heel to provide full-foot containment without sacrificing ankle mobility.
