LeBron James debuted a new shoe Sunday dedicated to his 10-year-old daughter Zhuri Nova James for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves first round Game 4. While it wasn’t the lucky pair of sneakers for dad and LA, the Nikes certainly made a splash.

The 40-year-old LeBron 27 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists but he and the Lakers ran out of gas late and lost 116-113, leaving them down 3-1 and one game from going home the rest of the playoffs.

But despite the loss, his Nike LeBron 22s were a winning look. It’s also the second shoe this season dad has dropped representing his kids. On March 4 against the New Orleans Pelicans, LeBron debuted his “Bryce’s World” sneakers for his 50,000th-point game in honor of son Bryce James, 17. Nike would then give Bryce an unreal hookup for a high school kid.
