LeBron James and Nike went absolutely off the wall during the release of the Nike LeBron 6s with this NSFW advertisement

LeBron James’s signature line with Nike is among the highest sold shoes of all time. The sneakers aren’t exactly cheap either. But the thing is when you have the chance to wear the same shoes as potentially the greatest of all time, why wouldn’t you do it?
Today, the 36-year-old’s shoes carry the same image as him, nothing but serious when it comes to being on-court, and more than anything, being family-friendly. However, in 2008, it seems this wasn’t quite as much a priority to the star or the company.
What are we talking about, you ask? Well, we bring to you, perhaps the King’s greatest shoe advertisement of all time.
Trust us, you’re going to want to see this.

Now that you’ve seen it, we’ll give you a moment to truly drink it in.

But, could the utter bizarreness of this one put it above even that level?
We don’t know, but if ‘yes’ is not the answer, we don’ want to know.
