Streetwear brand Off-White is having difficulty recognizing one of the most famous athletes in the world.
In an Instagram photo posted Monday and later deleted, the company identified another NBA player as LeBron James.
According to Page Six, the image showed former Lakers' guard Nick Young wearing Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Low sneakers with a hoodie and a blue suit.
However, Off-White tagged James in the caption and said: "@kingjames wearing Off-White c/o @nike air force 1 low mca university blue."
The screenshot, shared by Instagram account Comments By Celebs, shows James calling out the brand after seeing the mistake.
"MAN THAT AIN’T ME!! Y’all must be in LA on that OOOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WE!" the NBA superstar said.
Young also decided to have some fun after being mistaken for the King, tagging the brand’s director and saying "you owe me every off-White x Nike shoe collab for this."

The former Lakers' guard, also known as Swaggy P, added another tweet, saying "I’ll send you my address in the dm."

According to LeBron Wire, the brand's post was up for several hours before it was deleted. Off-White's mistake led to a mix of backlash and humor on social media.
"I’m not saying @OffWht should know this is @NickSwagyPYoung, but they should definitely know it’s not @KingJames," Chris Orihuela on Twitter said.
