For LeBron James, the Nike LeBron 20 has been a very special shoe. This is because it is helping to commemorate his 20th season in the NBA. Overall, this has been a very interesting season for him. While the Lakers haven't been fantastic, James has been able to rack up points. Consequently, he was able to come through with a historic record this past week. Now, LeBron is the NBA's all-time leading scorer. The mark used to be held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, although now, it is held by the Lakers superstar.
James was able to break this incredible record while wearing the Nike LeBron 20. LeBron has a ton of great milestones that were ultimately enhanced by his shoes. One can think of all of the footwear he wore when he won his first titles with the Miami Heat. Now, however, Nike is getting involved to help make LeBron's latest record that much sweeter. According to Sole Collector, they have teamed up with "The Surgeon" for an incredible new custom LeBron 20.

As you can see in the Instagram post above, the shoe is made of real crocodile leather. Overall, this is a very luxurious material to use and it certainly makes the sneaker look that much cooler. As for the color scheme, we get some white on the top, while the Nike swoosh is gold. Moreover, the gold element here is also made with the crocodile skin. When it comes to the midsole, there are various references to LeBron's achievements. From his current points record to the days in which he broke various other NBA tallies. Lastly, the shoe has "38,388" written on the outsole which helps bring forth the whole scoring record aesthetic.
Unfortunately for all of you sneakerheads out there, these will never be released to the public. Instead, they will be for LeBron and LeBron only. We wonder if he will ever wear these on the court. Although, they are best suited for a trophy case. Let us know what you think of these, down in the comments below.
