Throwback Thursday: Zoom LeBron V Home PE “Velvet” Gold Laces »

During the 2007-2008 NBA Season, LeBron James laced up only two Player Exclusives of the Nike Zoom LeBron V (Cavs’ HWC and Home PEs). Below there’s one of them. Back then we didn’t get to see any White and Red based colorways reach the public. They were reserved for King James only. We profiled the Home Suede ZLV PE couple years back, however, when I was given a chance to re-take some photos of my LeBron shoes I didn’t have to think twice. Actually, it’s probably the most special pair from my personal collection (kudos to Nike for help!). You probably have seem them equipped with a pair of Crimson laces, but for this showcase we did a switch to alternative Gold strings. The Velvet LBJ5’s feature Cavs’ native – White/Crimson/Gold – team colors. LeBron’s LRJ logo is placed on the back of the shoe marking this Player Exclusive version. Be sure to check out all 20+ new photos. There are some nice shots after the break.
