The Nike LeBron 4 Vapor Edge Zoom cleats are an exclusive football cleat modeled by the iconic silhouette of the Nike LeBron 4. The cleats have mainly been worn by some of the NFL's biggest talents, however we did see former Buckeye Marvin Harrison Jr. lace up an all-black pair in one of his signature games in The Horseshoe. The cleats feature the classic molded uppers from the Nike LeBron, based in Nike's Vapor outsole and a clean booted sleeve on the interior.

Now, the Buckeyes will all have a chance to sport the sleek footwear as LeBron James took the liberty of gifting them each a pair for their upcoming tilt against No. 3 Oregon on October 12. The cleats are modeled after the “Eggplant” colorway of the LeBron 4 and could be a telling sign for more uniform easter eggs involving LeBron James.

The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes will look to remain unbeaten as they visit the No. 3 Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium – don't be surprised if we see LeBron James in attendance as well.
