The Cavaliers made their first trip to Boston to face off with the Celtics on Wednesday night, which meant for the second straight game LeBron James was able to not have to be the center of attention thanks to Isaiah Thomas.
Thomas wasn’t playing, but his return to Boston for the first time since being traded remained the top story heading into the matchup of Eastern Conference powers. While everyone was thinking about Thomas’ return and wondering about how his relationship with Danny Ainge is now, James was hanging around his hotel room admiring some of his own retro sneakers.
James posted shots of him wearing the St. Vincent-St. Mary colorway of the Nike Air Zoom Generation (his first signature sneaker) to his Instagram story on Wednesday, admiring how great that first shoe was.
Later on Twitter, James teased the potential for a retro release of this colorway of his first sneaker later this year.
Retro coming soon..??? Just maybe 🤷🏾♂️😐💪🏾👑 https://t.co/i4oJcDLtzG

Nike has recently dropped three retro releases of the Air Zoom Generation, with all three selling out, so it would make sense that an SVSM colorway would be on the way for sometime later this year. If and when they do drop, you can bet they’ll likely sell out too (and likely be at the $175 price point) so keep your eye out for an official release date and be ready to pull the trigger quickly if you want a pair.
