On Thursday night, Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James took to the UNINTERRUPTED platform to make a special announcement.

James posted a video from his hotel room room in Sacramento — the city in which he played his first game all the way back in 2003 — and revealed that Nike will be doing a retro release of his first signature shoe called the Air Zoom Generation Retro.

Watch the video below to see the three-time NBA champion discuss what the release means to him, and get a look at the shoe which James says will be released “within the next day or so…could be a week…but not too far.”

“I can’t be more proud. At this point in my life, at this point in my career, to know that it all started from right here,” said James.

The shoe represents a tie to the star forward’s roots with Nike, a company which now has him signed to a lifetime deal reportedly worth over $1 billion. The original Air Zoom Generation, which kicked off James’ lifelong relationship with the massive shoe company, was released during his rookie season.
