LeBron James has had some pretty incredible player exclusives (PE's) over his incredible 16-year career. Perhaps one of the most highly-sought after PE's is his LeBron 9 "Watch The Throne" from back in 2011 which was black all-over with some hints of gold, including a lace lock that looks like a crown. It was a pretty extravagant sneaker that can be yours for the low low price of $6,000 USD over at Flight Club. It's a shoe that never saw a wide release but now it is rumored that the LeBron 16 might get its own "Watch The Throne" version that would release during All-Star weekend.
