LeBron James is no stranger to making a statement with his Halloween costumes, but one of his most memorable outfits remains the Prince-inspired ensemble he wore in 2015. Not only did he don the iconic purple outfit, but he also took the stage at a Cleveland Cavaliers Halloween party and performed a rendition of Prince’s hit song “Purple Rain.” The unforgettable moment was made even more special when Prince himself acknowledged LeBron’s tribute by sharing a video of the performance, cementing its place in pop culture.
Fast forward to the present, and Nike is paying homage to that outstanding Halloween look with the release of the Nike LeBron TR1 in a stunning “Purple Rain” colorway. Designed with LeBron’s versatile athletic needs in mind, this trainer features a deep court purple base with action grape accents that perfectly capture the essence of Prince’s iconic style. The shoe’s upper features a light colored swoosh covering a dark fabric and TPU, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.
