LeBron James To Wear Cavs-Colored Sneakers In Lakers Debut

One of the new rules in the NBA this year will bring a lot more color onto the hardwood, as shoe colors are no longer restricted.

I’m already looking forward to seeing new colorways daily. LeBron James apparently seems to be one of the players to immediately make use of that new rule. But when the season tips off, he won’t be wearing purple and gold on his feet, but Cavaliers colors.

According to Bleacher Report, Nike and LeBron have tabbed the “King” colorway of the new Nike LeBron 16 shoes for the season opener.

Don’t get why your wear cavs colors as your first game as laker? But he could also wear uggs for all I care as long as he’s got a laker jersey on https://t.co/JD9fhYGibF
