Given all the beastly tie-ins on the Kobe side of things, how did LeBron get stuck with a hornet as his spirit animal? OK that’s not exactly how it happened, as the ‘Summit Lake Hornets’ motif is actually a tribute to the youth league team where LeBron got his start. And while the colorway homage lands on a squad the vast majority of us have never seen play, the pair pulls through with the teal/purple combo and the nice bit of background story. Follow us after the jump for some up close shots and stick with Sneaker News for word on a release date for the Nike LeBron 9 ‘Summit Lake Hornets’ as soon as it becomes available. via HC
