LeBron James Steps Out In Nike Yeezys At Bronny’s Game
The sneaker was released in 2012, and currently goes for $10,000 to $20,000 on various resale websites.
LeBron James is showing up to support his son Bronny in style.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar and all-time NBA scoring champ was seen courtside at a recent USC game wearing the rare Nike Air Yeezy 2.
James wore the kicks to the Galen Center for the USC Trojans Jan. 10 game against the Washington State Cougars.
Accompanied by his wife, Savannah, the all-star athlete wore the highly-coveted sneaker in its “Solar Red” colorway. Bleacher Report Kicks displayed a photo of James wearing the collectible item.
The shoe was created during the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s short-lived partnership with Nike, which was terminated before he moved to work with Adidas on the now-defunct Yeezy collaboration. The sneaker was released in 2012, and currently ranges from $10,000 to $20,000 on various resale websites given its rarity and discontinued status.
James’s appearance at the game comes a few weeks after 19-year-old Bronny returned to playing for the Trojans after his unexpected cardiac arrest over the summer. The doting dad posted about his eldest son’s journey to his hoop dreams.
“Can’t even tell y’all how EMOTIONAL today was for me! I’m literally drained and all I can say is @bronny you’re simply INCREDIBLE,” expressed the Olympian on Dec. 10. “Damn the wins and loses that will occur. You’ve already won the ultimate goal/championship and that’s LIFE!!! Proud of you kid and today you’ve given me more life! Thank you and I love you.”
Bronny coming back for the second half of his freshman start also suggests more sightings from his legendary father, with even rarer kicks to come.
The Cougars beat the Trojans, 72 to 64.
