LeBron James is heading back to the NBA Finals, which he hopes will yield a different result from the last one he played in.
Last season, James' Miami Heat were the victims of a 'gentleman's sweep,' falling to the hot-shooting San Antonio Spurs in 5 Games. He's since returned to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but the final piece of history from his run in South Beach is up for grabs.
His partners at Upper Deck are selling every pair of game-worn Nike LeBron shoes worn by James in last year's Finals. The set includes the Nike Zoom Soldier 7 in Grey/Black-Gold, 'Yeezy,' Red/White and Black/Gold colorways, along with the 'Championship Pack' LeBron 10 Elite. Each pair is dual-signed by James, dated and authenticated.
The kicker? To own this set, one will have to fork over $125,000. The pro of making the purchase is that it's an opportunity to own a truly once-of-a-kind piece. Individual pairs of game-worn Air Jordans have fetched up to $105,000 in recent years. The cons are the $25K per pair price tag and the fact that LeBron didn't wear the sneakers en route to a championship. In fact, the series was mostly dominated by the Spurs, meaning the set takes a hit in the historical significance department.
Nevertheless, this rarer than rare collection is available now at upperdeckstore.com.
