I'm a huge fan of sneakers, [basketball](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rick-and-morty-basketball) and 'Family Guy,' so when you combine [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lebron-xxii), LeBron James & Stewie Griffin, I'm a happy camper. The Nike Zoom LeBron IV sneaks get a Family Guy makeover and the result is an [animated pair of tooned-up kicks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freizeit).

The crazy thing about these shoes is that they actually look like the were illustrated, animated and then magically pulled out of the TV screen.

The Nike Zoom LeBron IVs just may put TV's youngest evil mastermind (Stewie Griffin) one step closer to world domination.
