LeBron James gifts Ohio State football team with new shoes before Oregon game

It’s no secret that LeBron James is a huge Ohio State fan. The Akron native can often be found on the sidelines as a special guest for one or two games each year. Being one of the wealthiest athletes in the world, King James likes to show his affection in the form of gifts and he’s delivered once again.

As Ohio State gets ready to take on the Oregon Ducks, James has sent the team new shoes to wear if they so choose. The Vapor Edge Zoom is the latest football cleat by the people at Nike.

Love him or hate him, LeBron wears his Ohio pride proudly. And if you’re a recruit considering the Buckeyes, it’s just one more perk to love about Ohio State.
