LeBron James might be preparing to defend Team USA Basketball's gold medal during the London Olympics, but that does not mean he should not take some time out to enjoy the sights and sounds of the host city. Still basking in the glory of his first NBA championship, James has really undergone a transformation during the summer. Now that the pressure is off him winning a title, he can go back to the happy go-lucky personality that permeated during his early playing days that endeared him to people.
What this also means is that he has gone back to being a professional goofball. From taking pictures with newlyweds to a pair of fans in the streets of London, LeBron has definitely become a more gracious star. What is interesting to note about his encounter with the London fans was what was on his feet.
While rocking a throwback Raider snapback cap and a black and volt Nike training gear, James was pictured in the recently released Nike Flyknit Trainer in the volt colorway. The super comfortable shoes have been getting plenty of positive reviews for their great fit and breathability, not to mention their environmentally responsible construction.
Assuming the US does make it to the medal stand (if they don't, it would be the upset of the century), they will do so in special colorways of Nike shoes, one of which is the volt colorway of the Nike Flyknit Trainer. So not only did LeBron get the Flyknit some free publicity, but he also got a feel for them before he got up to the podium.
