When you’re an NBA champion and can no longer be labeled a choker, you can pull off footwear like this. LeBron James took to Instagram on Tuesday to unveil some new Arnold Palmer-inspired kicks he calls the “LeBronold Palmer 9 lows.” As you can see, they even come equipped with a picture of Arnie’s favorite drink in the sole of the shoe.
While basketball shoes like the LBJ MVP sneakers and those ridiculous dinosaur-looking ones Kobe launched around Christmas could only be accepted by the basketball community, the LeBronold Palmer’s may interest cribbage enthusiasts in retirement communities across Florida. Good for LeBron for trying to bridge the gap between the South Beach scene and the octogenarian population.
