LeBron James came into the NBA with a $90 million shoe contract from Nike, leaving little doubt that the Cleveland Cavaliers star hasn’t had much trouble landing the most exclusive sneakers.

But even James was dumbfounded when Slam magazine released a high school photo of teammate Kevin Love. The King wasn’t stunned by the rarity of Love’s kicks but rather his awful choice of sneakers.

It’s tough to figure out what those sneakers are. Maybe Love will break them out for the Cavs’ season opener against the Knicks on Tuesday -- unless LeBron can help his teammate out.
