Nike recently opened its newest building in its World Headquarters in Oregon, and it's absolutely mind-blowing. The sportswear giant decided to name the state-of-the-art building after none other than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, and there's no denying that it has lived up to the lofty expectations.
When you name anything after one of the greatest basketball players of all time, you have to make sure it's up to LeBron's elite standards. Nike did exactly that — and then some.
The folks at B/R Kicks were given early access to the facility. Their sneak peek video is enough to make any athlete's mouth water:
There are so many insane features inside Nike's LeBron building that it's hard to pick just one that stands out. Some of them include an NBA-sized basketball court, a 200-meter endurance track, a 100-meter straightaway, and an artificial turf training pitch (h/t Nike.com).
The building's name was first announced two years ago, and LeBron James himself shared what it means to him to receive such an honor:
“It’s so surreal,” James said in 2019. “It’s been an honor to be a part of such a great company for the last 18 years. And to know that a building with my name will reside on campus — it’s truly an honor, and I feel truly special.”
At this point, we're not entirely sure if this building will be made open to the public, but if it eventually does, many people will definitely make the trip to be one of the first persons in line. Everything about it is epic.
