LeBron James, the renowned Los Angeles Lakers power forward, is not only known for his basketball skills but also for his involvement with Liverpool Football Club. Since 2011, James has owned a two percent stake in Liverpool, thanks to his relationship with Fenway Sports Group (FSG). Over the years, Liverpool and LeBron James have collaborated on various clothing releases, with the latest one, titled ‘LFC x LeBron CHAPTER 2,’ being announced recently.
This new collection builds upon last year’s capsule collection and combines classic basketball aesthetics with the latest football-inspired designs in a sleek black, blue, and gold color scheme. The line includes t-shirts, basketball jerseys, shorts, football jackets, and black short-sleeve stadium jerseys.
To mark the launch of the collaboration, LeBron James sent a message to Liverpool’s star defender, Virgil van Dijk, congratulating him on taking the captain’s armband this season. James expressed his confidence in van Dijk’s leadership and encouraged him to strive for greatness. In response, van Dijk humorously stated, “The King has spoken!”
In addition to LeBron James, the brand imagery for the new collection will feature other Liverpool players such as Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson, Ryan Gravenberch, and Alisson Becker, alongside manager Jurgen Klopp. The collaboration between LeBron James and Liverpool has generated excitement, and van Dijk expressed his enthusiasm for the joint effort and the creative outcome.
The partnership between LeBron James and Liverpool continues to flourish, extending beyond their shared ownership and into the realm of fashion, with the ‘LFC x LeBron CHAPTER 2’ collection serving as the latest testament to their successful collaboration.
