The stock of new Los Angeles Lakers recruit LeBron James remains at the upper echelon of the league. It only follows then that his merchandise would retail at a slightly higher price range as compared to other items on the market. Then again, it still comes as an absolute shock that a certain pair of kicks from James' sneaker line has reached upwards of $100,000 in value.

However, this is no ordinary pair of basketball shoes. It is literally a one-of-a-kind pair that was made to commemorate LeBron's scoring milestone of 30,000 points. Here's a look at the outrageous pair, courtesy of our friends from B/R Kicks.

The pair was custom-made by renowned sneaker brand The Shoe Surgeon. Their mission-vision statement should shed some light on how the cost of a pair of shoes has skyrocketed to these heights:

“Surgeon Studios is about pushing the unique and timeless craft of custom shoe making and design. Based on our philosophy and dedication to the craft, we don't compromise on materials or time. The products we create are made to last and made to wear.”

Surely, the materials used on these pair of LeBron's were absolutely not compromised. It would not be surprising if the kicks actually had bits of actual gold on it.

Although the creators of this pair did say that they were “made to wear,” we doubt very highly if we ever see this hit the light of day. A museum would perhaps be the better setting for such a valuable piece of sportswear.
