Lebron James Grateful for Gifts After Heat Star Gets Exclusive Dolce & Gabbana Sneaker Deal

Sneakers are a big part of the basketball world. Various players have exclusive deals with the biggest companies, such as Nike and Adidas, for an exclusive sneaker of their own. In addition, collecting rare sneakers has also emerged as a big deal. While the sneaker market keeps changing, there is one player in the NBA who will never stop collecting. PJ Tucker is the biggest sneakerhead in the NBA, and he recently signed in with Dolce & Gabbana to release an exclusive sneaker. Tucker made sure to get a piece out to LeBron James, and the King was grateful.

Tucker has had an up and down journey in the league throughout his career. After playing overseas for several years, Tucker made his return to the league. And now, he has found his stable role as a spot-up shooter and one of the hard-nosed defenders in the league. He validated his journey last season with a championship with the Bucks. While he became a king in the basketball world only last season, Tucker has ruled the sneaker side for the longest time. Arguably the biggest sneakerhead in the league, Tucker signed an exclusive deal with luxury brand, Dolce & Gabbana to release a shoe.

As a gift, Tucker sent a shoe to LeBron James as well. And the King was grateful for the gesture.

LeBron James makes the Tucker list

LeBron himself is one of the leading sneaker sellers in the NBA today. With his deal with Nike, the LeBron sneaker is a big hit on both the fashion world and in the NBA. But the Akron Hammer also shows his appreciation for others coming up as well. James took to Instagram to unbox the present sent in by PJ Tucker. He opened the Dolce & Gabbana box to find out the Tucker sneakers in it. Likewise, LeBron had nothing but good words for the Miami Heat star.

He said: “My brother, I appreciate you. These is fire. Perfect for the spring too. All love, you know how we get down. These is fire. Congratulation boy, deserved.”

Tucker made sure James gets the complete experience of his sneaker launch. PJ came out with two colorways, the Miami and beige color. He spoke about the Miami shoe and his inspiration behind it during their first-round battle last season. Additionally, he also spoke about how it was his vibe and he wanted to rep those sneakers during the series itself. And the second colorway of his exclusive shoe is beige.
