Nike hits the New Year with the announcement of The Chosen 2 pack, which highlights the relationship of LeBron James and soccer star Kylian Mbappé.
The design of the pack will showcase the idea of duality, parallel paths, from one champion to another. The star will also highlight their efforts as homegrown heroes, Kylian from the Bondy suburb, and LeBron from Akron, and how those places shaped them as players and their desire to provide a positive impact on their homes.
The Chosen 2 Pack also highlights their impact on the future generation, leading Nike Inc. to make a donation to Mbappe’s foundation IBKM (Inspired by Kylian Mbappé) and LeBron James Family Foundation.
