Fans of the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers are going to flip (in different directions) over the Nike Sportswear LeBron James collection. The new LeBron James collection is inspired by the star's highly publicized move from Cleveland to Miami during the NBA's last offseason.
The Nike Sportswear LeBron James collection includes letterman jackets, hoodies and even a James-inspired Nike Cortez. The collection features solid styles, with the letterman jackets and hoodies sure to attract attention from even those who don't follow the NBA or King James' exploits. The cartooned style of the lookbook is a nice change from the usual uninspired solo shots that fill up most lookbooks featuring athletic wear and sports stars. You can see the collection in its entirety here, and you should be able to pick up the collection in stores and online during the holiday season.
