The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the hottest teams in baseball right now and are hitting their stride down the final stretch of the regular season. If there isn't enough star power in the dugout, LeBron James added some more in the stands on Saturday night.

Last night, the Dodgers presented James with a check for his family foundation’s I PROMISE Program. While there was plenty of excitement on the field, Angelinos kept looking back toward James, where the Los Angeles Lakers forward eventually performed his iconic "king me" celebration for fans.

While fans acknowledged greatness on and off the field, FanNation Kicks was busy checking out James' outfit for the big night. James wore an Uninterrupted hat and shirt, grey Dodgers shorts, and a pair of retro Nike running sneakers.

James wore the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 SE in the 'Racer Blue' colorway. The shoes are a few years old, but the model has made a comeback in recent months. Below is what sneakerheads need to know about Nike's retro runners.

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 SE 'Racer Blue' was released in April 2019 for $160. The techy Y2K-era running shoes arrived a little ahead of their time and did not receive the fanfare they deserved.

The shoes feature a white, blue, and black color scheme with a blend of materials. The mesh upper, TecTuff leather, and 3-D printed panels complete the technical-inspired running shoe. Fans can choose between multiple colorways of the lightweight sneaker on the Nike website.

As James gears up for his 21st season NBA season, now is the time to give flowers to the league's all-time leading scorer. Even better, it is an excellent opportunity to take fashion tips from the Lakers legend. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear coverage.
