Basketball/WWE News: WWE superstar Braun Strowman gets a custom pair of LeBron 15's

What's the story?

Braun Strowman (or Adam Scherr) has received a custom pair of Nike LeBron 15's from reputed custom sneaker designer and artist.

In case you didn't know

Nicknamed “The Monster Among Men”, Strowman has a reputation of laying out his opponents with his finishing move - the running power slam. On the flip side, LeBron James is arguably the best player in the NBA right now and is always in the debate for the greatest basketball player.

The heart of the matter

A verified Twitter account - Mache Custom Kicks put out this Tweet just over a couple of days back:

Made some custom LeBRAUNs for my man @BraunStrowman. To say this pair has been a year in the making would not be an exaggeration. Always loved the idea of a play on the names Lebron and Braun and it was just a matter of making it work on the XV. Cc: @KingJames pic.twitter.com/1losowEXR8

LeBron 15's look insane without any customization. With Strowman's "Get These Hands" slogan and his face on the other boot, they look stunning and a work of art.

Over the course of the 2017-18 season, James has been wearing multiple colorways and customizations of his LeBron 15's. Here are a few to let you know what we mean:

James seems to be trying to match the level of his play on the court with the customizations on his sneakers.

What's next?

Will we see Strowman sporting this pair on any upcoming WWE event? Given that it's a custom pair made for him, that's highly unlikely. He's most likely to cherish it and keep it aside.

For James, expect more insane customizations to come your way.

Author's take

Sneakers is a huge business in the NBA and customizations only make these player's signature sneakers look that much better. Breaking sports boundaries and making these custom sneakers for Braun Strowman was a big deal. Imagine how many pairs, would be sold, if these up for sale and not something "the Monster Among Men" kept for himself.
