CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The LeBron 12, LeBron James' latest shoe with Nike, is being released by the global shoe company on Thursday as James and the Cleveland Cavaliers get set to open the 2014-15 season.

Nike delayed the initial release of the shoe 30 days ago, citing a minor cosmetic issue.

The LeBron 12 is being marketed with the slogan "HRT of a Lion" on Twitter.
