Nike Zoom LeBron II – Marshall Faulk #28 – Player Exclusive »

I must admit that when I got these pics from my friend Andy I was like… oh great… more close ups of LeBron James‘ White & Navy Zoom LeBron II PE with #23 embossed on the back of the shoe. It was right after midnight and that’s always a good excuse, but how wrong was I?! Things cleared up the next morning when I took a closer look at these not so common anymore kicks. As they say the looks can be deceiving. Now as I know what’s the deal we can all share this story. Still don’t know why they’re special? Does the name of Marshall Faulk ring a bell? He is a former American football running back who played in the NFL. His jersey number – 28 – is currently retired for the St. Louis Rams and you can also see it on this rare ZLII Player Exclusive. Although we don’t know what’s exactly his connection to LeBron and/or Nike it’s nice to be surprised every once in a while. I mean it’s been 6 years since the shoes were made and we’re seeing them now for the very first time. WOW!
