Chalk up another win for us. Looks like we definitely hit this latest pair of NIKEiD LeBron XI tribute kicks right on the head. In taking us back to 2007, NIKEiD opted to honor LeBrons epic performance during game five of the Eastern Conference Finals. With his Cleveland Cavaliers pitted against the Detroit Pistons, LeBron put together a game for the ages. Not only did he score 25 of the Cavs last 28 points, he did so while obviously being the main catalyst in getting the Cavs to the NBA Finals. In recognizing his outstanding effort, NIKEiD whipped up this aptly titled “Game 5” Pair of LeBron XI’s. Sporting a clean mix of red, white and blue, this color scheme was pulled directly from the away jerseys the Cavs had on during that memorable game. Even though the Cavs would subsequently go on to be swept by the San Antonio Spurs in four games during the Finals, James undoubtedly showed the world that he possessed the clutch gene. With 2008 next up on NIKEiD’s creation list, we wonder what career defining moment will serve as the muse for the next pair of kicks. As hard as it is to put my finger on one specific moment, I’m going to put my bid in for an “Overrated” motif. They say the best form of revenge is success so why not rub it in Deshawn Stevensons face.
