Nike has crafted signature sneakers for LeBron James using various materials since their collaboration began in 2003. The Nike LeBron 12 EXT Cork features a unique upper made primarily from cork, accented with black on the Hyperposite paneling, heel tab, and laces. This sneaker also showcases a striking metallic gold Swoosh that complements the gold jewels on the laces. The translucent gum outsole not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also incorporates hexagonal Zoom Air units for superior comfort. This innovative design undoubtedly makes the LeBron 12 EXT Cork as noteworthy as its predecessor, the Nike LeBron X EXT Cork, released on September 12, 2015, at a retail price of $250.
