LeBron James is known for his extremely popular signature sneaker series with <a href="/tags/nike" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Nike</a>. After 16 years in the NBA, LeBron is now onto the Nike LeBron 16 and recently, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/nike-lebron-16-martin-releasing-today-purchase-links-news.77391.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">the &#8220;Martin&#8221; colorway was released to rave reviews</a>. The shoe carries a 90s aesthetic that is supposed to be reminiscent of the sitcom of the same name. Recently, James gifted a pair of the shoes to boxer Canelo Alvarez who will be taking on Daniel Jacobs in a fight on May 4th.

&#8220;You like sneakers?&#8221; Carter asked &#8220;These just came out. Very special.&#8221;
Canelo seemed appreciative about the gift and told Carter to thank LeBron for the gesture.
