LeBron James is one of the biggest sports stars, so it’s no wonder he can afford to customize his Lamborghini to match his sneakers.
Yes, you read that right.
In fairness, with the amount of cars and sneakers at his disposal, it’s only fair that there should be some overlap somewhere.
LeBron decided to tie the design of his Lamborghini Aventador in with his Nike shoe line, and it came out very nicely.

LeBron James makes a statement with his shoes and car
The car’s body looks a little bit like a Hawaiian shirt, and we mean that as a compliment.
It shares its likeness with his collaboration piece with Nike – a pair of X1 ‘King’s Pride’ floral shoes.
It was Nike who arranged for LeBron to have a matchy-matchy car, bringing in exotic rental company Lou La View.
Now the Aventador will make you think of a calming tropical environment.
In addition to a cool makeover, the floral paint job has also added value to the car.
Aventadors from this period go for between $300,000 and $400,000.
With a custom wrap and a celebrity story attached to it, this car could be worth an additional $300,000 on top of its original price.
A brief history of celebrities with custom cars
Celebrities with big garages and even bigger wallets love have customized cars.
In fact, Shaquille O’Neal got his hands on a Cyberbeast partly thanks to LeBron.
LeBron had blasted Effortless Motors for posting about delivering a Bugatti to him.
Seeing this online, Shaq decided he wanted to become a customer of the company.
Are you starting to notice a theme here?
Being very very wealthy also means that you can afford to have things built to spec, designed exactly how you want them.
How the other half live, eh?
