When All-Star Meets Mr Basketball – New Zoom LeBron V PE »

Last week we profiled an unreleased sample version of the Nike Zoom LeBron V… courtesy of lacedheat. The thing about the ZLV was Nike released a relatively small number of PEs (Player Exclusives). We’ve been used to tons of colorways, samples and Special Make Ups, but LeBron James’ fifth signature shoe has leaked in only 36 different models thus far. Apart from General Releases, couple really nice Exclusives (Mr. B, Yankees) and “common” School PEs, only a couple of V’s really stand out – Home PE (both versions) and Hardwood Classic PE. Sure, it’s not like the Zoom LeBron V had the colorway potential comparable with The Six, but it seemed a little odd. Today, we are happy to discover yet another rare ZL5. We don’t know what was the story behind this model, but it seems like the Mr. Basketball has been mixed up with the All-Star edition. You can see Mr B’s lasered upper and ASG’s color scheme. Do you like the output?
