LeBron James Teams Up with Ohio State Buckeyes for Special “Grand Opening” Cleats
LeBron James is back with another major sneaker flex this time on the football field. The NBA icon has gifted the Ohio State Buckeyes a pair of customized cleats inspired by his own “Grand Opening” Nike LeBron 23 basketball shoe. Designed for this football season, the cleats merge LeBron’s legacy with Buckeye style and performance.
To honor his home-state team and his own signature journey, LeBron’s team at Nike crafted two football cleats: the Nike Alpha Menace 4 Elite and the Nike Vapor Pro 1. Both feature key design elements pulled from the basketball version of the LeBron 23, the “Grand Opening” colorway, while transforming them into high-performance gear for the gridiron. White/University Red/Metallic Gold prints? Check. Modified sole plates, football-ready materials, and Ohio State branding? Double check.
It’s unclear whether these cleats will ever hit retail. For now, they’re built exclusively for Ohio State’s game day arsenal. But given how LeBron’s sneaker releases tend to sell out and fetch collector status, you can bet they’ll stir up plenty of buzz in the weeks to come.
