LeBron James has another "Space Jam" sneaker on the way.

The Los Angeles Lakers star and Nike will be releasing a new version of the LeBron 17 inspired by Mr. Swackhammer, the villainous character voiced by Danny DeVito in "Space Jam." It's the third "Space Jam"-themed LeBron 17 to be unveiled following a Tune Squad and Monstars version.

James, who will star in the sequel to the 1996 movie, debuted the sneaker during Sunday's NBA All-Star Game.
