In December, James said the shoes were symbolic of the fight for racial equality in the US.

"Obviously, we know where we are right now. We know who’s at the helm," James said, making a subtle reference to President Donald Trump, according to USA Today. "Us as Americans, no matter the skin color, no matter the race, no matter who you are, we all have to understand having equal rights and being able to stand for something, speak for something and keeping the conversation going.

"Obviously, I've been outspoken and well-spoken about what's going on at the helm here," he added. "We're never going to let one person dictate us Americans — how beautiful and how powerful we are as a people. Equality is all about understanding our rights, understanding what we stand for and how powerful we are as men, as women, black or white, or Hispanic. It don't matter your race, whatever the case may be. This is a beautiful country."
