The first flavor developed by Sprite in
collaboration with a cultural influencer returns as Sprite LeBron's
Mix
NBA superstar and cultural icon LeBron James has proven himself
one of the most transcendent figures in sports and entertainment by
constantly transforming on and off the court. Introduced in 2014,
Sprite 6 Mix by LeBron James, the superstar's limited-edition
Sprite flavor also has evolved to feature a new look and name:
Sprite LeBron’s Mix.

Sprite is a well-established innovator within basketball culture
and the lifestyle surrounding it. And, the brand continues to hold
this position through its longstanding partnership with James and
the return of his fan-favorite flavor. Sprite LeBron's Mix,
formulated in collaboration with James, combines the refreshing
taste of traditional Sprite with a splash of natural cherry and
orange flavors. Eye-catching packaging features a bold red color
base with James' initials in the background. Crown iconography and
dashes of gold symbolize the superstar's most popular nickname —
"King James."
“Since Sprite began its relationship with LeBron in 2003, we
have worked together with the goal of creating fan experiences no
other brand can offer,” said Kimberly Paige, Vice President, Sprite
Brands and Flavors, Coca-Cola North America. “Sprite LeBron's Mix
is a true reflection of our mutual desire to constantly innovate
and connect with fans in authentic and original ways."
Sprite LeBron’s Mix is now available in 20-ounce and 2-liter
bottles, as well as 16-ounce cans, in convenience retail, value and
mass retail locations nationwide.
"This collaboration with Sprite was all about showing gratitude
to my fans by sharing one of my personal favorites — Sprite with
cherry and orange,” said James. "I’m excited to continue my
partnership with Sprite and bring it back this year, because
sometimes things are even better the second time around."
