The pair depicts different scenes and memorable James dialogues in the movie. Though not commercially available, Nike said the shoes were inspired by the film from heel to toe, the site learned.

"The right sock liner features an illustration of Bill Hader and Amy Schumer's on-screen romance, while the left features some words of wisdom from LeBron's character," the new site reported.

Nike created only 100 pairs of the special edition "LeBron 12 Low" especially for his family and friends.  

The NBA star made his first full-length supporting role in the romantic comedy "Trainwreck" opposite comedian Amy Schumer and Bill Hader which premiered July 17.

This is may be considered James's first "real acting role" besides short appearances in the TV show Saturday Night Live, a cameo on the series Entourage, and his voice in SpongeBob Square Pants," CBS Sports reported.

According to lead star Schumer, who also wrote the film's script, she chose James for the role because he has never really showed the public his comedic side and that this would be something fans would love to see, the site added.

Among rave reviews of the Cavs stars is that of online site New Yorker, where it describes James execution of his role as "the greatest motion-picture acting performance by an active professional basketball player of all time."

Meanwhile, there are rumors of a sequel to the 90s animated movie "Space Jam" and that it may include the Cavaliers star. The movie was a hit in the 90s when it starred NBA legend Michael Jordan.
