Cavs fans the world over were shocked to see their beloved lace up in Golden State colours in Tuesday's game against the Pistons, but the real story behind this PE is far from traitorous and much closer to nostalgic.

The special make-up is a tribute to 's origins, adopting the colourway of the brand's original Waffle Trainer (an early silhouette whose revolutionary waffle sole thrust the Swoosh into the spotlight).

The make-up is the first in a series of player exclusives called the LeBron Watch program. Each will pay tribute to the iconic athletes and shoes that influenced LeBron's career. Only the 'Waffle' design has been revealed so far, but a teaser animation hints at designs inspired by the , and Ken Griffey among other sources.
