In late April of 2003, LeBron James officially announced he was going to turn pro with a press conference at his high school. At that moment LeBron James became the object of a bidding war between Reebok, Adidas and Nike. It was a close battle but as we all know Nike got their guy and James got about $100 million. It turned out to be a great deal for both sides. Before his first signature shoe LeBron James tried out many different Nike shoes including Nike Ultraflight, 2k3, Ultramatic and many more. Check out a couple of pics presenting a signed version of LeBron’s Nike Air Zoom Ultraflight, which he wore for his rookie photoshoot back in 2003.
