This retro-inspired colorway of the Nike LeBron 14 features an orange upper with royal blue and white accents, a perfect match for the colors worn by the Cavaliers from 1983 to 1987.

Despite the attention-grabbing kicks, James and the short-handed Cavaliers fell 94-106 to the Bulls, who were propelled by a 14-point burst from Jimmy Butler in the fourth quarter. James finished the night with 31 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the shorthanded Cavs, who were missing stars such as Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love.
Some outlets are reporting a January release date for the Nike LeBron 14, however there has been no official confirmation from the brand.
