There was a point in time this off-season when the Cleveland Cavaliers offered current Kentucky Coach John Calipari keys to the kingdom. Their reasoning? He was that close with LeBron James and would increase the chances that The King might return to Cleveland. While LeBron made his way to the shores of Lake Erie regardless of Calipari opting to stay in Kentucky, their mutual Nike connection should ensure Wildcat PEs in LeBron silhouettes for years to come. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of the Swoosh’s marquee collegiate basketball programs always get first dibs on the latest Nike signature, and this Nike LeBron 9 PE is a testament to that longstanding tradition. The pair keeps that signature royal blue and white intact while the ‘UK’ logo gets a prominent feature on the tongue. What do you think? Grab more pictures after the click and pick this rare find via jonallon80 on eBay.
