Some of the most elite stars in basketball history bypassed college straight for the NBA. Hoops fans love to debate where players like LeBron James might have gone to school, but some things are best off left a mystery. This is especially true when it comes to rocking different programs' sneakers.
On Tuesday night, James poured in 31 points during the Los Angeles Lakers 106-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns in the NBA In-Season Tournament Quarterfinals. Best of all, Nike supplied James with a player-exclusive colorway of his signature sneakers that paid tribute to the Oregon Ducks. Check out the Instagram video below for a closer look.
Before James' unbelievable performance, fans were treated to pictures and videos of him wearing the Nike LeBron 21 in a black and yellow Oregon-themed colorway. The hoop shoes sported a black suede upper, yellow detailing, and Oregon's iconic "O" logo on the tongues.
It is common for Nike's signature athletes to receive 'Oregon Ducks' colorways of their kicks, but it never stops exciting the sneaker community. While James' sneakers from last night will never hit shelves, online shoppers can choose between several new and retro sneakers from James' signature line on the Nike website.
The NBA season and college campaigns are just getting started, so it is safe to assume James will bring more sneaker heat throughout the season. Our fingers remain crossed that the Lakers star honors his oldest son by debuting a USC Trojans colorway at some point.
