LeBron James made a grand entrance for his 21st NBA season, and it was nothing short of stylish.
Prior to the Lakers’ much-anticipated season opener against the Nuggets at Ball Arena on Tuesday night, James arrived donning a lavish Louis Vuitton outfit that was nothing short of extravagant. Front Office Sports reports that the cost of LeBron’s pre-game attire exceeded $28,000.
LeBron proudly showcased his outfit on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing that it was part of Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection, designed by the creative genius Pharrell. Interestingly, this announcement coincided with LeBron being named the face of the campaign earlier that day.
The 38-year-old basketball icon wasted no time in flaunting some of the collection’s most high-priced items ahead of his highly anticipated season debut. TMZ reports that James’s collarless jacket alone is valued at over $5,000, and the teal “Speedy Bandouliere 40” bag he was carrying bears a price tag well north of $11,000. It’s worth noting that these items won’t be available for sale until December.
LeBron’s walk down the tunnel before the 2023-24 campaign kick-off was a sight to behold, as he showcased an incredibly expensive ensemble for his fans on the eve of his 21st season in the league.
The grandeur wasn’t limited to LeBron alone; the Lakers’ season opener at Ball Arena was accompanied by the Nuggets receiving their impressive championship rings, setting the stage for a season filled with anticipation and extravagance.
