Regional exclusives were how limited sneakers worked in the middle of the 2000s. Before online launches flattened distribution, a pack could be released one city at a time, each colourway attached to a shop or an event, and obtaining a pair meant being physically in the right place on the right day. This run was distributed exactly that way: five Air Force 1s, a hundred and fifty pairs of each, one per American city, drawn from a campaign built for LeBron James's second signature model rather than for the Air Force 1 itself. The Cleveland shoe went out at an event there in May 2005, two years into his time with the team. Black patent leather carries tri-coloured overlays, and characters at the heel name the fear the pair represents.
