The basketball star wore a casual and colorful look in the Lakers’ last game against the Bucks, which finished off one of Nike’s most desired sneakers and
The King is still hungry. Since LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers won the Orlando Bubble ring, the one that kept all the players isolated, they have not achieved glory again. Despite the list of renowned players who have passed through the lineup, the “Kid from Akron” has not managed to build a team that can win another NBA championship. Neither Marc Gasol, nor Russel Westbrook nor D’Angelo Russell have managed to lead the City of Stars franchise back to victory. But that doesn’t mean the leading scorer in league history has thrown in the towel.
In fact, last year LeBron James and company benefited greatly from the fresh blood provided by people like Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura and Austin Reaves. In addition, James is behind Kyle Kuzma, currently leading the Washington Wizards but who was already part of the Bron-Bron team and could return. All of this including the fact that “The Little Emperor” is still a bad beast. Last season, at 38 years old, he averaged 28.9 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, while shooting 50.0% from the field and 32.1% from three-point range. In other words, despite being in his 21st season, good old LeBron wants to continue fighting and it seems that this year is favorable for it.
That does not mean that he has to play absolutely every game, especially if we are still in the preseason phase and the goal is to reach the regular phase fresh and injury-free. That is why he did not participate in the first game against the Golden State Warriors and he did not participate two nights ago against Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks. Night by the way where the famous point guard Dame Lillard debuted the deer jersey.

So, LeBron went to the official meeting at the Staples Center to support his team and, in the meantime, show off some cool sneakers. Because if we know something about James, it is that he is an inveterate lover of fashion. For example, as a shareholder of Liverpool F.C., he wanted to be in charge of renewing the image of the team’s jerseys and the result exceeded any expectations. He was also the first to wear the Air Force 1 x Tiffany & Co. on his feet, those that became so viral and that the player combined them with a fantastic baseball jacket from the same collection. Without reaching the avant-garde, the Lakers’ number 23 usually surprises with quite modern looks, tight-fitting suits in a wide range of colors or highly personalized high-performance sportswear.
The night of the game, which ended 108-97 in favor of the Bucks, the athlete wanted to be comfortable, so he opted for a pink hoodie and tracksuit shorts set. There is no need to mention the formidable fortune that James enjoys, and anyone in his position would be very tempted to go to the big luxury houses to go to the front row of a stadium. However, the player likes to support the local business in his area, so he chose the emerging Cleveland brand, Layr Official, to attend the meeting. He completed the outfit with a snapback-style cap from UNINTERRUPTED, the basketball star’s favorite brand, and colorful Nikes with long socks.

Obviously, they were not just any Nike sneakers, but rather the successful collaboration with Sacai. The first time we saw this beauty was in its spring / summer 2019 collection, and everyone had to keep their eyes in their sockets when they saw how the Japanese designer Sacai Chitose Abe, creative director of the brand, had duplicated almost all the eleme
