LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates honored the franchise’s history during their recent road trip by wearing Hardwood Classic jerseys. Fans have been watching LeBron’s footwear closely to see which colorways of his seventh signature shoe he chooses each night. In today’s Kicks On Court, we highlight the unusual choice he made in Portland: wearing two different LeBron VII colorways at once. Against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Cavs wore their blue-and-orange Hardwood Classic uniforms. LeBron matched that retro look by lacing up one blue-and-white LeBron VII and one orange-and-white LeBron VII. Both shoes featured accents from the opposite color—subtle orange details on the blue shoe and touches of blue on the orange pair—creating a coordinated, mismatched appearance. After the game, James said the uniforms and sneakers paid tribute to Cavaliers standouts from the late 1980s and early 1990s, including Larry Nance, Mark Price and Brad Daugherty. This mismatched combination kept the throwback theme front and center while offering a playful take on team colors. The look underlines how modern players use footwear to support team heritage and personal style at the same time. Below are additional photos from the game and other notable sneaker moments captured on court. |
