In a recent trend of catering to the huge Chinese market, pictures reveal another potential upcoming China inspired Lebron V. It’s amazing that LeBron is already on his 5th signature shoe when it seemed as though it was just yesterday when he was drafted #1 and signed a huge endorsement deal with Nike.
