The LeBron 7 series is often regarded as the best in line of LeBron James' sneakers, with the All-Star edition being particularly coveted for its stunning blue look and striking aesthetic appeal. Originally released in February 2010 to align with the All-Star Weekend in Dallas, Texas, it was re-released in 2020 after LeBron James secured an All-Star spot for himself and returned as captain.

Wilson enters the playoffs seeking to extend her streak of scoring 20+ points in 12 consecutive playoff games, dating back to 2022. The Aces will start their playoff campaign on Sunday, Sept. 22 with Games 1 and 2 being held in Las Vegas.
