Riley Jones of Footwear News gave us the lowdown on what to expect from LeBronās latest kicks. The Kingās Crown, which retails for $255, is known for its black Flyknit upper texture and gold side zipper.
If youāre the white sneaker kind of guy, the City of Angels kicks will give you the pristine look with the same touch of royalty. It has a silver medial zipper with intricate embroidery on white Flyknit. It also retails for $255.
Each footwear in the collection includes matching shorts ($180), hoodie ($145), and a pair of basketballs ($150 each).
If the LeBronās first half performance is any indication, the shoes donāt only look fashionable, they are unmistakably great for playing on the court, too. The Cavaliers superstar scored 15 points, shooting 6-fo-10 field goals including 3-of-6 from three, in the first half of the All-Star Game. He leads Team LeBron in scoring heading into halftime. Team Stephen leads Team LeBron by only two points, 78-76.
