All of this has crossed over into the mainstream, to the extent that LeBron James and his shoes are among the most coveted and recognizable dress, and they display graffiti with the same ease as any other artistic influence.

LeBron collectors recognize this as a trend, with the first Foamposite LeBron shoe the Zoom IV having introduced this look. It was adopted by the LeBron 8 V/2 a few years later, and with the drop on January 25th, there will be another crowd bringing what was once an underground a misunderstood artform into the public eye for all to enjoy.
The mens specs Nike huarache baseball cleats 2k filth “Graffiti” will release on January 25th, 2014 at select specs Nike Basketball retailers.
