With the Charlotte Hornets in town, the always unpredictable James Johnson pulled out another surprising pair of kicks for last night’s game.

The Raptors forward laced up a Nike Zoom LeBron 2 PE from 2005. He rolled off 7 points, 4 rebounds and 4 blocks, but the Raps fell 103-95.

Johnson’s recent trust in decade-old hoop shoes makes him a player to watch in the #SoleWatch Power Rankings.
