    LeBron's New Shoe Refers To Him As A Two-Time Champion

    This here is a picture of the sockliner of the new LeBron X shoe, which boasts a fancy floral colorway. It's kind of weird that it says "2-time champion" because, you know, LeBron is just a one-time champion right now, and he will continue to be one for the foreseeable future if the Heat lose to the Spurs tonight.

    Still: that floral pattern is pretty neat!

    Maybe the shoe is a two-time champion?

    At first glance it looks like Z-Time Champion.

    Maybe plays for Dragon Ball Z championships too.

    I am pretty sure they have it made just in case they win. Just like they print shirts for both teams.

    Fitting that they used the camouflage design.

    You have to try really hard to find Lebron in the Finals so far.

    Maybe he's taking a page out of Jason Terry's book when he got that trophy tattoo before the Mavs had actually won the championship....Just because it happened to work out for Terry doesn't mean it's going to work out for you too Lebron :p

    He did it in 2011 before they won the championship, and yes, he also did it with the Celtics, which obviously failed.

    Could just be a matter of production? If he wins the shoe is ready to go, if not they'll have a whole heap of plain black insoles ready to go as well. Just putting it out there.

    There's most definitely boxes of Championship Tees for the Spurs waiting in their Locker room should they win tonight, but no one is accusing them of arrogance.

    Kind of strange to put that in a shoe that could've waited to be produced another week or so and then either have it printed or not. Ugly as hell nonetheless.

    Of course that's the real reason. I mean, the shoes themselves probably just cost something like $2 to make and they get to sell them for $100+(or whatever the going rate is). From a risk-taking standpoint, given how well the shoes would sell immediately following the finals IF Miami wins the championship, it's a pretty good gamble.
