NBA All-Star and video game cover boy LeBron James enters a new realm of sneaker stardom with the unveiling of the Nike LeBron 11 “NBA 2K14” exclusive. While camping, connects and even bots often assist sneaker shoppers in picking up the hottest drops, only true gamers got the inside lane on these. Limited to only 2,014 pairs, NBA 2K14 players must have reached a number of milestones throughout the course of their in-game journey, namely winning 60 games and making their own signature shoe in the game’s Nike Innovative Kitchen, for the chance to pre-order a pair. Reaching such milestones would take 80 hours. Select winners of the game’s MyPlayer mode will receive word today (likely in an email that looks like this) regarding the shipping details for their exclusive kicks. For reference, this in-game access code process was previewed months ago in a post regarding purchasing policy updates.
Seen in the photos above and below, the inspiration comes from a lion and LeBron’s 2K14 cover. Rich red accents and clear outsole detailing cap off this colorway that rewards go-getter gamers in swaggy style. Congrats to the winners of this beastly Nike LeBron 11.
