    If they were the last pair of shoes on earth, I'd go barefoot. Those things are FUGLY.

    Nike does the pricing, not LeBron.

    Still, I wouldn't pay that much for them. I still have my CP3 II with white/gold/black and they're in great condition.

    I agree. Sneaker enthusiasts will for sure buy those. I mean those Jordan Golden Moments pack of sneakers sold out super quick. $360+tax for 2 pairs of Js. But still Lebrons for $315? thats insane, and they are not even custom!!!!

    I don't have a pulse on the current market for basketball shoes but if they price is up then they've actually had a recovery. Just look at the re-releases of some of the Foamposites, Flightposites, Penny's, etc... they're actually cheaper now than they were when they originally came out over 10 years ago. And that's just a quick example.

    It's the hype beasts that caused all this. Cheaper material in Jordans yet jump in prices.

    Couldn't justify spending 315 on a single pair

    also, there's another KD vs 'Bron tie in. Durant, ever since getting his own signature shoe instead of PE's; specified that all he cared about was that the shoe fit snug like a glove, that they were comfortable and affordable. His shoes were always around the 85-90$ range which isn't exactly the cheapest but compared to others they really are. Performance wise I've loved them, great fit and traction

    The problem is all his shoes are ugly as ****. I wouldn't even pay $20 for those things. If you're going to make them that expensive, at least get someone who isn't a blind quadriplegic to design them.

    At that price, those Nike swooshes better ACTUALLY be made of gold.

    huh? The reason the economy is bad is because people/companies haven't been buying as much unnecessary stuff as before.

    Consumers buying stuff, no matter how unnecessary it is, is what stimulates the market...
