Metallic green on the Swoosh symbolizing the transitional, temporary part of iron cooling. While a fade effect around the shoe represents sparks when iron is being formed and it’s capped off by an ice outsole.The shoe is a metaphor for LeBron’s balance of coolness under pressure when the heat is on.
