As a lifelong fan of both LeBron James and my beloved Buckeyes, I must say this collaboration between Nike, LeBron, and Ohio State has me jumping for joy! Growing up just a stone’s throw away from Akron, Ohio, I’ve always been a huge supporter of LeBron and his journey to greatness. Now, seeing our Buckeyes sporting the iconic “Eggplant” colorway Vapor Edge Zoom LBJ 4 cleats is like a dream come true!
In a heartwarming gesture, LeBron James consistently demonstrates his affection for his hometown team, Ohio State. On Instagram, both the team and LeBron James made an announcement that preceding the Big Ten matchup against Oregon, the football squad will receive unique Nike-designed cleats as a gift.
The team is anticipated to wear the distinctive Vapor Edge Zoom LBJ 4 cleats in the famous “Eggplant” color scheme. Made from robust Foamposite material, this shoe is lightweight and boasts the unique finish that mimics the original LeBron 4 “Eggplant.” The shoe sports James’ No. 23 on the tongue. Previously, Ohio State players have donned cleats inspired by LeBron, such as a pair of LeBron 4 “Graffiti” cleats in 2023.
On October 12th, Ohio State plans to introduce its new PE (Player Exclusive) cleats in their game against Oregon. Whether these exclusive shoes will be made widely available remains unclear at this time. Keep an eye out for further updates.
