While their friendship has endured rocky times since, Jay Z and Kanye West are forever remembered and linked for their work on the critically acclaimed “Watch the Throne” CD that released Aug. 8, 2011.

The duo hit the road for a world tour, with Miami among the several stops. At the time it was home to LeBron James as he was in a second season with the Heat. James is close with Jay Z, so he naturally attended the concert at American Airlines Arena.

With some help from Nike and artist Gabriel Urist, James presented Jay Z and West with “Watch the Throne” customized pairs of his signature Nike LeBron 9.
