Shoes, the rubber things that protect our feet when we do things outside of the house, are important in not only life but basketball.

Thankfully, Ohio State men's basketball will be properly equipped this season.

According to the men's basketball team's Twitter, LeBron James "hooked up" the team with the the news Lows, Soldiers, and 13s. These shoes would retail for around $200.

Hopefully these shoes will help garner some wins for a team that's lost four straight.

The men's team hosts VMI on Saturday at 4:30 p.m.
