LeBron’s Bespoke Nike Sportswear Destroyer Jacket
Before last week’s game in Cleveland, LeBron James debuted his bespoke Nike Sportswear Destroyer jacket, created for him by the NSW design team. The unique personalization process for this Destroyer design took place during several meetings and conversations between LeBron and the NSW apparel designers at Nike’s WHQ in Beaverton, Ore., earlier this year. As you can see in detailed photos below, this one-of-one bespoke Destroyer jacket captures LeBron’s personal life story, aesthetic and ethos.
The inside label lists all of LeBron’s accomplishments on the court.
The left arm patch represents LeBron’s hometown Akron, Ohio, using the area code 330.
A symbol of royalty, the rampant Lion with its tail curled into the shape of a six.
LeBron’s initials right above the iconic Destroyer fused chest pocket.
The back reads, “Time To Roll” – what LeBron used to say to himself as a young boy during frequent family moves.

I can imagine the write up being like “considering LeBron’s recent douchebaggary, we decided to design a jacket that completely captures that essence of douche. Presenting, this weak ass jacket!”. “Time to Roll” seriously? Is it that time yet? What a dumb saying…and since there is no watch or time specified, I guess if you are wearing this jacket, then it’s ALWAYS time to roll! WTF is this guy? An autobot?

Like the jacket design, but couldn’t rock it with dudes name all over it with his stats…
Nike should do a “Nike ID” type thing with this style of jacket to be able to customize it…that would be worth the dough
