“I Got You Sis!”: LeBron James’ $250 Product Has WNBA Star A’ja Wilson Showing Love to the Lakers Superstar

LeBron James’ collaboration with Nike has produced some of the best shoes from the brand to date. The 2022 shoe LeBron XX is what many even consider the best shoe of that year and has been worn by top athletes, including Anthony Davis. WNBA athlete A’ja Wilson recently rocked the latest colorway worth $250, tagging LeBron James on her Instagram story. And sure enough, the King was more than happy and excited to see his shoe getting wider acceptance among the best of athletes.

While promoting the LeBron XXs last year, LeBron James found an ingenious way to market his shoes using ‘Father Time’ as a theme. Aquaman actor Jason Mamoa was featured in the ad as the ‘Father Time’. The advert gained immense popularity with James hilariously trolling  Father Time by handing him a pair of Nike Monarchs and calling him old.
