There was no shortage of drama during Sunday afternoon's slate of NBA games. One of the more lighthearted moments occurred before the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Golden State Warriors.

Lakers forward LeBron James made a grand entrance on his scooter, and a new meme was born (long live "LeScoot"). It is not easy to make a walking boot look good, but the league's all-time leading scorer was able to pull it off.

On James' left foot, he wore a classic Nike sneaker to offset the rather unattractive grey walking boot on his right foot. James wore a cream and blue Nike Dunk Low sneaker to match his outfit.

Luckily for fans, the shoes were released recently and are available on sneaker resale websites like eBay, StockX, and GOAT for a reasonable price. Below is everything fans must know about James' left shoe.

James wore the Nike Dunk Low in the 'Montreal Bagel Sesame' colorway. The shoes hit shelves on January 17, 2023, for $120. According to StockX, the shoes now have an average resale price of $153.

The Nike Dunk Low is an iconic basketball and skate that has been around since the 1980s. However, the model has enjoyed an unprecedented resurgence over the past three years and has become the shoe of choice for most sneakerheads.

The 'Montreal Bagel Sesame' colorway pays tribute to the food culture of Montreal, Canada. The shoe features a Sanddrift leather upper with overlays sporting a sesame seed design. The blue Swoosh logos and heel tabs provide contrast to the neutral sneaker.

While it is always great to see James making the best out of a bad situation, hoops fans everywhere can't wait to see the Lakers forward healthy and back on the floor. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news.
