Nike and LeBron James Set to Release School-Minded Shoes

— January 24, 2010 — Lifestyle
Nike and LeBron James have decided to create new sets of shoes which have more of a scholastic feel to them. Christ the King and the University of Akron are two of the schools that will be featured, (and this is nothing new considering Nike has a long-standing tradition for releasing school-inspired kicks) but the shoe that has me jumping around is the possible University of Kentucky-inspired Nike LeBron.

If you know me, you know that these are what I will be wearing for the next decade. Check out more on the Nike and LeBron James collaboration by following the links below.
