“What The” sneaker themes have consistently been used on Nike sneakers every year, especially on the LeBron shoes. Before we inspect the Nike LeBron 18 What The and see what makes them special, let me walk you through some history.

LeBron 18 | Background

LeBron James after quickly gaining recognition was signed by Nike and received a multi-million dollar deal. Although a risky move by Nike, they believed LeBron to be the next MJ and went all in. As a result, the decision paid off massive dividends as LeBron turned into an international superstar.

In 2003, the Nike Air Zoom LeBron officially released, enshrined today as LeBron’s first signature sneaker. Ever since then, Nike has introduced various new models up till the Nike LeBron 18 which released in 2020.

The King’s latest signature sneaker combines speed and power with its all-new design and internal mechanisms. Full Zoom Airbags and Nike Air cushioning provide additional support and comfort, making them fit for casual wear and also for on the courts.

After various new colorways such as the LeBron 18 “Home” and Fireberry. Nike is set to drop a new LeBron 18 that’s inspired by previous iconic LeBron sneakers.

To help estimate its resale value, let’s head over to StockX.

On StockX, the average selling price is over $280 which is a gross profit of $80 per pair. The Nike LeBron 18 “What The” will likely have a similar resale value.

Pink rears with a splash effect appear to be inspired by the LeBron 16 “Hot Lava”, and finally, colorful soles taken from the LeBron 4 “Fruity Pebbles” finish off the design.
