Liverpool and LeBron James are back with collaboration No. 2 – ft. Virgil van Dijk

From L.A. to Liverpool, two icons collide once more for LFC x LeBron CHAPTER 2. The latest transatlantic collaboration between the most iconic hooper in the world and a global powerhouse in football has launched.

Building on the energy of last year’s capsule collection, Chapter 2 mixes classic basketball looks with the latest Football fits in a fresh black, blue and gold colour palette.

It features black short sleeve stadium jersey, basketball jersey and shorts, Football jacket and t-shirts. Gold detailing calls out the iconic phrases ‘you’ll never walk alone’ for LFC, and ‘strive for greatness’ which is LeBron’s motto.

There is one pair of sneakers in the collection LFC x LeBron Nike NXXT Gen Amplified trainers which have an Akron-inspired sole, an ode to LeBron’s roots and AirZoom cushioning.
