The Nike LeBron 12 "Flight" shown here is the latest Nike LeBron sneaker to leak.

The shoe leaves the LeBron 12's Hyperposite piece without any graphics, and instead decides to use the patch on the tongue to convey the theme. There there is what appears to be a griffin, the mythical creature that is part lion and part eagle. Using that creature to represent James makes sense as far getting his typical lion imagery to go aerial. The sneaker has some overlap with the recent KD 7 "Lightning Bolt" in that both pairs revamp the tongue treatment–in fact, there might be some sort of mythological story here if Durant's is meant as a Zeus pair with the lightning bolts.

The release date for the "Flight" LeBron 12 is set for early May.
