The Wall Street Journal reported in its Tuesday editions that the LeBron X shoe, scheduled to hit stores this fall, will retail for $315 (with a toned-down version selling for $190). In honor of this milestone, SI presents a gallery of athletes and their sneakers including this 2009 shot of James holding up the LeBron VII shoes during a charity event in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
