LFC is selling a new pair of trainers but some customers are shocked at how much they will set you back.

The new shoes, a collaboration with LeBron James, are priced at £164.95. The trainers are a “unique twist” on Nike’s classic Air Max 1.

Sharing the news online, LFC Retail said: “Reds, shop the NEW LeBron x Liverpool FC Air Max 1”. The post featured a reel with LeBron James showing off the trainers.

The post racked up more than 150 likes and a number of retweets, but many fans were left unimpressed with the price of the trainers. Replying to the tweet, one person said: “165 quid?? Ooft no ta.”

A second shopper wrote: “Lovely but not affordable at all” and a third added: “An absolute no.” Another said: “Stop trying to flog tarted up Nike Airs and concentrate on the squad.”

The trainers feature Liverpool FC colours, a nod to the Reds’ 22-23 Third Kit, and visuals like the club's crest on the insole honour the LeBron's favourite club. They also have YNWA and SFG branding on the heels.

The new trainers are priced at £164.95. They’re available online here.
