And as his star status&nbsp;continues to reach unforeseen heights, it seems as though the various brands he endorses are in favor of his acts as well. This couldn&#8217;t have been documented any more distinctly than with the news dropping of LeBron inking a lifetime deal with <strong>Nike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2015, this is the first contractual &#8220;lifetime&#8221; agreement between Nike and any endorsers, per ESPN&#8217;s Darren Rovell. Although many would consider Michael Jordan to be one, his deal is merely a &#8220;de facto&#8221; agreement as expounded upon below. All in all, this deal pretty much&nbsp;assures a line of retro releases of the Nike LeBron James series&nbsp;in which us sneakerheads have long coveted a retail return, with such models including the Nike Air Zoom Generation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Nike has signed LeBron James to a lifetime deal.
