LeBron James has revealed his latest custom piece — a new one-of-a-kind Mercedes-Maybach S 680.
The ultra-luxury sedan, custom-built through the car brand’s MANUFAKTUR "Made to Measure" program, comes in an exclusive light ivory non-metallic colorway with dark interiors.
The car also boasts personal design touches, such as James' own logo, which is emblazoned on the headrests, dashboard, and on the vehicle’s body.
According to King James' collab post with Mercedes-Maybach, this is only one of two Mercedes-Maybach S-Class models the NBA legend has configured to his liking. Apparently, the second one is on the way.
"When @kingjames shapes his personal Mercedes-Maybach, perfection is guaranteed," Mercedes-Maybach wrote when sharing images of the luxury car.
Speaking of Bron collaborations, the NBA star's new Nike collection was previewed earlier this week — and it takes inspiration from the late MF DOOM.
Titled the 'Masked Menace,' the new collection consists of a hoodie and t-shirt featuring Bron’s likeness during his famous stint wearing a protective carbon fiber mask while playing for the Miami Heat in 2014.
The design is a reference to the stark black-and-white cover of 2004's Madvillainy, the only full-length collaborative album between Madlib and DOOM. It even features a similar font and a small colored square like the original artwork.
The collection is expected to drop on March 24, the same day as the coinciding LeBron 23 'Masked Menace' sneaker. The collections make reference to his final season with Miami, during which he was recovering from a broken nose. Despite the injury, he managed to turn in several stellar games throughout the season.
LeBron has long made it known that he’s a huge fan of hip-hop. Besides his close friendship with several big-name rappers, including Future and 2 Chainz, he has also indicated in the past that he might look into putting an album together.
In 2021, he shared a post on social media and said that his love for music is "INSANE" and he wanted to make a compilation record, on which he wouldn’t rap but serve as curator.
