A Sneaker Fit for a King

LeBron James was seen, much to the chagrin of Cleveland Indians' fans, with a Yankees hat on during the American League Division Series this past fall. Now King James is hawking a new Nike sneaker line that is a tribute to the Bronx Bombers.

The Air Zoom LeBron V features the pinstripes as well as LeBron's, and Don Mattingly's, number 23.

The best feature, though, is an homage to the Bleacher Creatures under the tongue of the shoe. "Le-Bron Ja-Mes. Clap. Clap. Clap Clap Clap" gives the sneaker its own role call. Though not necessarily Yankees related (perhaps a nod to New Yorkers), the strap reads "Fresh for '08. Suckers!"
