1. I bet this is Nike not LBJ. They are hoping to cash on on LBJ's fantastic year by getting his fanboys to part with an outrageous amount of money. 2. HELL NO I wouldn't buy them. I would rather save the $300
The lines will be long for those shoes when they come out -- babies will be getting ammonia and hoodrats will be making money.
Some shoes are worth the money. I'll be all up on the black and red 11's once they're re-released late this year. But these shoes are fug. I draw the line at 200 anyway.
it's not worth it. <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/iH6GBCbgmQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> i been gettin shoes.
http://youtu.be/GTQnarzmTOc I don't know why shoe price is an interesting topic. How about the Michael Beasley estate sale? That was weird, eh?
Buying overpriced things you don't need on credit that you have a hard time paying back & having no money in savings for emergencies because you spent all your money on needless things has an equally negative effect on personal finance. Of course if you had put money in savings, you could weather out a recession more easily because you have the money for emergencies.
i think people spend there paycheck on expensive shoes and not their rent but like i said if your a sneakerhead do what you gotta do
How do you know that? Anyway, I never really got the appeal of buying basketball shoes for anything other than playing basketball in them, but to each their own.
The $300 model is basically the fully upgraded, limited edition model with some fairly expensive computer technology that dramatically raises the price. If you look at this article, http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/8288491/nike-sell-newest-lebron-james-sneaker-300, the analyst they interviewed suggested that this premium model might only make up 20-25% of the total number of 'Brons produced, and the normal shoe without Nike+ would be in the $175 range, just as it always has been for Nike's top of the line shoe. In a world where people will stand in line all night to get $150 collector editions of Halo/CoD, will pay thousands of dollars for concert/game tickets on StubHub, get cars fully-loaded with features they don't really need just to have leather seats, I have no problem with the shoe existing. Good on those who end up getting it; won't be me, but I've spend more money on stupider things...
Not sure if sarcastic but unless they make you good enough to get a pro-contract I don't see how they are worth that much money.
