Wearing Brons: Nick Young Revisits AZG “First Game” »

Nick Young has brought some serious heat to the court this season. From Pennys and Foams to LeBrons. Earlier this month we mentioned about his Zoom LeBron II “Chamber of Fear” PEs, but last week he went back even further. Before the Los Angeles Clippers were swept by the San Antonio Spurs @NickSwagyPYoung broke out LeBron James’ first Nike shoe – the Air Zoom Generation – in the popular First Game colorway. The First Game AZG is in fact James’ first Home game shoe as a Cleveland Cavalier. See the 2003-04 Timeline for details.

Nike Air Zoom Generation “First Game” Gold Swoosh Sample »

The “1st GameNike Air Zoom Generation is the first colorway of LeBron James‘ first signature shoe. Technically, he broke them out a little bit later, but that’s how Nike wanted us to remember these limited AZG’s. The regular version, which was released in the quantity of about 1000 pairs, features White, Red and Navy colors. Turns out there’s an alternate version with Gold details. It’s been listed in our galleries for quite some time, but as this new photo surfaced the Internet it’s time to share it with the world. They kind of match with the Miami Heat team colors, don’t you think? These samples are probably super limited and chances of getting a pair are close to zero, but First Games, in any variation, are always nice to look at. We can always debate which one is the better colorway. Props to BronBronY23 for sharing.

LeBron’s NBA debut – 10/29/2003 vs Sacramento »

Tonight LeBron James is going to make his first ever NBA Finals appearance. After only 4 years since he had joined the Cleveland Cavaliers he was able to guide his team to the biggest stage of basketball. As King James prepares for the finals, we look at the start of his career that got him here – his very first NBA game. On October 29, 2003 LeBron scored twenty-five points, nine assists, six rebounds and four steals in a loss to Sacramento. It was the most points ever scored by a prep-to-pro player in his debut game. It was also the initial appearance of his first signature sneakers Nike Air Zoom Generation. On his debut NBA match-up LeBron wore the White/Black/Red colorway and one week later (November 5, 2003) he introduced the First-Game AZG – the First-Game stands for the date of his first ever NBA home game in Cleveland. Look at the photos below and check out this highlights video: LeBron’s NBA debut.
