LeBron and Liverpool's relationship has reached the next level: fashion in sports footwear. The Reds and the NBA player on Wednesday unveiled basketball shoes in the Premier League club's colours and logos. The LFC LeBron 9 Low are in Liverpool's secondary colour, turquoise, which has been the Reds' alternate uniform on multiple occasions.

The club crest can be seen on the sole, as well as on the heel, and the AirMax sole is in the team's red colour. The model features a reverse colour scheme to one that LeBron introduced in 2012, which was a red base and turquoise outsole. The price of the LFC LeBron 9 Low was $185, which generated annoyance from many Liverpool fans on social media. The LeBron 9 silhouette debuted in the 11/12 season, with which he won his first NBA ring after leaving Cleveland for Miami in the summer of 2010. On 29 September, James will release his 20th trainer, the LeBron XX.

LeBron is a shareholder in Fenway Sports Group, which acquired the Red team in 2011. James and his partner, Maverick Carter, owned $6.5 million, a 2% stake in Liverpool at the time of the acquisition. It's not the only soccer team LeBron owns. In late August, it was announced that he was part of the investor group that bought AC Milan.

LeBron James announced that he will be playing from October with a new look. In his latest post he shared on his social networks, it can be seen that he decided to shave his head. At the moment many think it could be a joke, but others believe that he did shave his head to face this new campaign.

The new shoes are part of the agreement with LeBron James

After this photo, LeBron James was compared to Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, as both players started their careers with hair and ended up shaved. LeBron's renewal with the Lakers has always been the goal of franchise owner Jeanie Buss, who would like to see the King finish his career with the Los Angeles Lakers.
