LeBron James has given fans a sneak peek at the jersey he'll be sporting when he stars in Space Jam: A New Legacy.

The Los Angeles Laker star announced last year that he'll take up the mantle from Michael Jordan and team up with the Looney Tunes gang for an intergalactic game of basketball.

Three-time NBA champion James has remained tight-lipped about details regarding the sequel.

But a video shared by The LeBron James Family Foundation on Monday has given fans a glimpse of the kit.

With 'Tune Squad' across the front and the Looney Tunes circles to the circle, the 35-year-old approaches the camera wearing the powder blue shirt and shorts looking ready for action.

A generation of sports fans have grown up with the original Space Jam close to their hearts.

Jordan helping run off the 'Monsters' with help from Bugs Bunny and friends is nothing short of iconic.

While many loved seeing the former Chicago Bulls man mix it up with the animated cast, James told The Hollywood Reporter last year that the film means more than that to him.

"The Space Jam collaboration is so much more than just me and the Looney Tunes getting together and doing this movie," the four-time MVP begun.

"It's so much bigger. I'd just love for kids to understand how empowered they can feel and how empowered they can be if they don't just give up on their dreams. And I think Ryan [Coogler] did that for a lot of people."

He also explained that director Coogler was a huge draw for him, expressing admiration for his vision for superhero movie Black Panther.

"I loved his vision for Black Panther," James said.

He continued to say that, growing up as a kid in Akron, Ohio, there were no black superheroes, adding: "So for Ryan to be able to bring that to kids, it's amazing."

Space Jam: A New Legacy is currently set for release on July 16, 2021.
