Remember when Lebron James showed up at Jacobs Field with a Yankees hat on? Apparently, Mr. James is a hardcore Yankees fan. He’s so hardcore, Nike has taken his Zoom V’s and designed them into a Bronx Bomber edition. So now aside from sporting a Yankees hat in Cleveland, Lebron will now be rocking Yankees shoes in Cleveland.

Upon first look, you can’t really tell what the shoe is supposed to represent. However, with a glance at the tongue, the picture becomes crystal clear. Did Lebron become a figure at Monument Park recently? Nike all but guaranteed his place in the new Yankee Stadium with that little tidbit. The pinstripes on the side are in white, with the backdrop a dark navy blue. If Nike was going to go all-out with this sneaker, they should have gone with a white background with blue pinstripes. That would have been a lot more authentic.

Aside from the appearance, the shoe has some little hidden attributes that will surely get the city of Cleveland talking. Inside the tongue a description reads, “Le-Bron Jam-es, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap”. Are you kidding me? What a staple to this shoe! That alone should make you want to buy this if you are a fan of basketball shoes. With this design, James has suddenly become a living legend among the bleacher creatures! Also, I can’t forget the “New York, New York” insignia also on the flip side of the tongue.

LeBron was looking to honor the Yanks with this shoe and he’s certainly done it. This sneaker identifies the MLB team he holds closest to his heart. Is it cool what Lebron is doing? Hell yeah it is. Lebron is in Cleveland to play basketball, not baseball. Let the guy cheer for the Reds if he wants to; just has long as he pours his heart into playing for the Cavs. The only thing left for Lebron to do is start wearing these on the court. Imagine if he wore them at the upcoming All Star game in New Orleans!
