Liverpool FC have announced a new collaboration with minority shareholder and Los Angeles Lakers small forward Lebron James.
A new range of clothing which includes an alternative kit and a club-themed basketball jersey is set to be released ‘soon’.

His relationship with Liverpool began in 2011 after the 38-year-old purchased a 2% stake worth £4.7m.
He has become a large ambassador the club in the United States since.
The ‘LFC Nike Lebron 9 Low Adult Shoes’ was James’ first venture in the Liverpool market with this next instalment proving his next step into his basketball and football cross-over.
The basketball legend also broke the NBA’s all-time points record last night with a resounding 38,387 points.
Liverpool were quick to congratulate James last night for his record-breaking feat on Twitter.
Congratulations on becoming the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, @KingJames 👑🏀
A truly incredible achievement 👏 pic.twitter.com/5L8adwi2Q3
