Nike Zoom LeBron II SVSM Away PE Sample – Rare Alternate »

Saint Vincent Saint Mary is the only theme that has been present since day one with Nike, LeBron James and his shoes. And it keeps on going strong. We like numbers here at NLB and by a quick count there are: 1(azg) + 2(zl2) + 3(zl3) + 2(zl4) + 2(zl5) + 2(zl6) + 2(aml7) + 2(zs1) + 2(zs2) + 2(zs3) = 20 SVSM kicks. That’s a lot. And those are only the official ones with the real SVSM or Irish logos… which means no BDay 5’s, no MTAG 7’s nor any of LBJ’s previous Nikes and Adidas shoes. Actually, let’s make that 21. Courtesy of gettinit247 we’ve received photos presenting ultra rare Zoom LeBron II samples from the first stage of development for the SVSM Away version. Click here to see the other two – regular Home & Away ZLII PEs. Notice how most things that are different on this sample are actually just details from the ZLII home colorway… the black Irish man, gold accents on the sole, gold crown on the L23 insignia, etc. Additionally, the new Sample has Gold accents on the ankle straps, which were previously White.
