Ever since the “PE ring” controversies it’s become very difficult to obtain photos of Nike’s Player Exclusive sneakers. Folks at Nike must have enforced some very strong rules to avoid any uncontrolled leaks. Same goes for the releasing shoes. After all they were able to keep the LeBron 14 under wraps until the very end. It was unthinkable in the past.
Right now the best way to get a close up of LeBron’s PEs are NBA photographers once The King decides to wear them in the game. This has us scrapping for any other looks.
Even the High School / College styles are hard to come by. Remember this 9 piece Nike LeBron PE set for the Ohio State Buckeyes? We only got close ups of two pairs… out of nine. Ironically it should be easier nowadays, right? Especially with Twitter, Facebook and Instragram making sharing pics a two-click/tap affair.
Anyway I’m always on the lookout for Nike LeBron PEs and not so long ago a set of Akron Zips’ Nike LeBron 13 PEs has hit eBay giving us an in-depth overview. Both shoes, home and away colorways, use the team’s Navy part of the school colors skipping the Gold component that made the LeBron 12 PEs stand out. The Away version is a little bit more interesting thanks to an additional graphic on the upper reminiscent of the “25k Points” NIKEiD option.
