On Saturday, 11.29, Lapstone is honored to present Joel Embiid's first signature sneaker with Skechers, the JE1, ahead of the global release. After dominating the hardwood for the last ten years, the future Hall of Fame Sixers big man finally has a shoe to call his own. Featuring two colorways, the "Lime Green" which is exclusive to Lapstone, along with the "Blue / Pink" that is releasing with us one week prior to the official launch, the JE1 will be available @ Lapstone to purchase both in-store and online @ 10:00am EST on 11.29.
But we're not just hosting a release, we're connecting Sixers fans to the man behind the shoe. The first 50 customers to purchase the sneaker IN-STORE will receive an exclusive invite to a private VIP experience featuring The Big Fella himself, Joel Embiid, taking place on Wednesday 12/3 from 3:00PM - 4:30PM EST, location TBA. This opportunity is only available to customers who purchase the shoe in-store. Online purchases are not valid for entry into the meet and greet.
The JE1 is inspired by his non-traditional path to the pros and unique playing style that combines finesse with aggressive moves, designed specifically to meet the needs of Joel's game. The lightweight, low top construction features a breathable mesh upper that's bolstered by durable 3D-printed haptic lockdown cage, along with a comfort collar heel lock that incorporates three distinctive points symbolizing the pillars of Joel's life - heritage, sports, and family. An innovative 5GEN® cushioned midsole combines with a responsive and lightweight Molded Arch Stability MOVE FOAM™ insole to provide maximum comfort and cushioning, while an internal TPU midfoot shank supplies extra support and stability. Finishing off the design is an outsole is made with Goodyear® Rubber Technology, bringing the same enhanced traction, stability and durability to the JE1 that the legendary company instills in its tires.
The JE1 "Lime Green" & "Blue/Pink" will be available on Saturday, 11.29 both in-store and online @ lapstoneandhammer.com at 10:00am EST.
