LeBron James is an avid lover of sneakers and shoes as he is of football. Having a lifetime contract secured with Nike, King James is still surprised by the kind of designs the apparel giant introduces. With the Super Bowl rage going on, Nike has revealed its custom-made sneakers for the Super Bowl contestants. And Bron cannot stop his excitement at the sleek designs!
He promptly took to his Instagram to share his appreciation of the models. Tagged by the VP of Global Basketball, Josh Wachtel, the post features Chiefs’ running back, Jerick “Jet” McKinnon, as well. James captions the image with, “Whoa!!!!” followed by a mind-blown and few fire emojis. He captioned the second one, “Sheesh!!!!,” with similar emoticons.
Here are the stunning sneakers for those of you who might lose the story.

James isn’t new to customized sneakers. One of the most valuable pieces in this collection would be the Nike LeBron 20 designed by renowned sneaker designer, The Surgeon. It was a tribute to the King’s historical record of surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the All-Time scoring list. Specifically crafted for the 4x champion, it features multiple milestones like being the youngest to score 10,000 points, breaking previous scoring records, etc.
On a different note, it seems like the NBA players have their own picks as to who would win the Super Bowl this year.
The star players of the league pick their top choice for the Super Bowl LVIII
Stephen Curry might be divided in his loyalties because one team features his best friend, while the other is his home team. But the rest of the NBA players have their priorities straight. Somewhat. Talking to the NBA, top names like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and more offer their predictions.

KD takes the road less traveled as he places his bets on the 49ers. He does give Patrick Mahomes his due flowers, though. Kawhi goes with the popular choice, Chiefs. But being the competitive guy he is, especially of late, ‘The Klaw’ says, “I just want to see a good game. I like to see people be great. So I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the 49ers’ guys get it either.”
Let’s move on to the rest of them quickly.
- KAT sides with Kansas, as he believes “Mahomes is getting to the Tom Brady level”.
- Booker, much like his teammate, takes San Franciso while keeping it real – “hard to go against experience and rings.”
- PG 13 keeps it simple by going the California route.
- Donovan Mitchell also finds it hard to bet against Pat.
- The gritty Rudy Gobert of the Wolves goes with the 49ers because he apparently likes an “inspiring story.”
- Finally, Dejounte Murray goes with the Chiefs solely due to the fact that San Francisco beat the Seahawks!
