Nike Basketball may be the driving force behind making the LeBron James name an icon among sneaker heads, but there is another set of shoes that are just as important to LeBron’s sole-status. Air Force 1s that have been created especially for King James by Nike Sportswear over the years have just as much influence over sneaker collectors as do the kicks he wears on the court. If you don’t remember, a special edition Saturday Night Live x LeBron James AF1 sold for around $2500 a couple months ago, solidifying the value of the basketball superstar’s mark on kicks of all types.
Here’s an Air Force 1 designed for LeBron and his circle of friends two years back but just started making rounds on the web again. The shoe’s upper is covered, nearly seamlessly, in supply, brown leather held together by brown stitching. The sole consists of white stitching on the mid-sole along with white paint on the “AIR” symbol to offset the light brown color of the out-sole. One more mark of LeBron is located on the in-sole and comes in the form of a crown to mark his royalty on the realm of the NBA. Unfortunately, as is the case with the majority of LeBron AF1s, these only released as a friends and family and the only pair that made it to Ebay was snatched up in an instant. Pictures via zach13g
