As Nike's#LeBronWatch campaign continues, another LeBron 15 PE has surfaced.

Sticking with the theme of colorways inspired by LeBron James' favorite retro Nikes, this latest look takes on elements from Ken Griffey Jr.'s signature models from the '90s, namely the Air Griffey Max 1 and its original Seattle Mariners-inspired "Fresh Water" style. Notable details include a large embroidered Swoosh at the toe and a heel emblem that combines LeBron's Dunkman logo with Griffey's Swingman (a feature introduced on 2012's LeBron 9). 

While release details are still unconfirmed, there's a possibility the shoes could release tonight when James takes the court for the Cleveland Cavaliers' road game against the Miami Heat. Cleveland.com reporter Joe Vardon tweeted that James told him he plans to wear a previously unseen pair of sneakers tonight, which could wind up being this Griffey-inspired pair, although a South Beach makeup was also teased for #LeBronWatch when the program was introduced. 

Me: This is the first time I’ve ever seen you wear the same shoes two days in a row.
LeBron: cuz those shoes deserve to be worn twice. But the shits I’m wearing tonight, they ain’t never been seen before ... There’s your Cavs update from shootaround in Miami
