Throwback Thursday: Air Zoom Generation St. Vincent St. Mary PE »

It’s obvious LeBron James is very attached to his days spent at the Saint Vincent Saint Mary High School. There’s even a documentary “More Than a Game” telling the story of LeBron and his friends (Fab Five), which will premiere in October. There’s his recent book titled “Shooting Stars” written by Buzz Bissinger in King James’ voice. With the book, after the torrent of words from reporters and sportscasters, LeBron James takes control of the narrative. Also, it’s no secret that inspiration behind many of his signature shoes came straight from SVSM in Akron, Ohio. However, it’s not something entirely new. Sure, nowadays we get to buy LBJ’s White / Deep Forest Green / Gold kicks at retail, but at first they were customized exclusively for The King and nearly impossible to get for anyone else. So here it is… the shoe that started it all… the Nike Air Zoom Generation SVSM Player Exclusive.
