Back in 2018, LeBron James spoke in front of the media about the challenges of being a Black man in America following the election of Donald Trump. This prompted a comment from Fox News host Laura Ingraham, who famously told James to keep his political commentary to himself and to "shut up and dribble."

That moment will be immortalized in an upcoming Nike LeBron 23 colorway, shown here, courtesy of @sayitwityakickz on Instagram. The style features a fairly simple black-based color scheme on the upper and offset by purple iridescent details on the mudguard. The standout design element on this iteration is the "Still Talking" detail on the heel, referencing the remarks from Ingraham and adds a nod to James’ “King” nickname.

There are currently no confirmed release details for this "Shut Up and Dribble" LeBron 23, but grab a closer look below as we await official word on the launch from Nike.
