I remember awhile back hearing his goal was to have the most expensive sneakers on the market. Not a fan of him personally, but I think his new sneakers look pretty good.
thats with the + version, without the + it's $180.
I really want the Hyperposite (Amare's) but its $225. now that is a scam. :mad:
Nike is gona raise all their sneakers prices, as far as Lebron goes he has the sickest nike bball sneakers out there (Kobe has some nice ones to here and there), am not surprised if they will cost the most..

LeBron's shoes have had almost the exact same designs since the 6s. His shoe game sucks.
I am fine with my Lebron 9s for now tho :pimp:

Just to reiterate what others have already said, the $300 price tag is only for the shoes that come with Nike+, aka the Vertical Measuring technology. Though, even at $185, that would be well out of my price range. I was pretty pumped for my $90 pickup last week though; likely the best shoe deal I've made in a while.

Back to the Nike+ technology though, will that not be one of the most skewable technologies ever? It will measure one's vertical accounting for the moment feet leave the ground and when they come back down, is that correct? If so, won't any kind of non-traditional landing provide a funky result? And they mentioned being able to "share" your scores online. Could folks not just hang on the rim for a split second and bring about a high (but not too high) result that'd not truly represent one's ability?

BB4's are a classic, but I'm tired of these excessive retro releases. Even Reebok released another Answer IV, and this isn't the first time they've done this.

I think at this point, I get to experience the best of both worlds. I live in an environment that's mostly not crazy enough about shoes to allow me to likely be the only guy with a pair of classic BB4's or True Blue III's amongst my crowd. I get to wear the shoes I like, and I don't have to worry about one of those situations like when you discover a cool band only to find out everyone else is listening to them the next day.

Bought the same shoes last month. Definitely a classic. Also, those Lebrons are sick. Defintiely going to have to add them to my collection. I have numbers 2-9. Still need to get the 10s and find a pair of 1s on Ebay

It's a different story here where almost EVERYONE in my school wore Jordans, that tends to turn you off to a certain degree. When Nike started re-re-releasing them the stocks started to drop so I ended up selling most of mine.
Then there was the concords incident and I was off the game for good.

The article FAILS to mention the new technology in the shoe that Nike has been selling. The shoe has some built in technology where you can plug a USB into your computer and it can test out how fast your running and how high your vertical is etc
I remember wondering why Lebrons new kicks were so expensive on footlocker until I read the description to show what it came with.
Yahoo reporters suck nothing else to see here
Also you can buy the sneaker without that kind of technology and it would be around 200

"We couldn't afford the Pennys, the Pippens, the Jordans," Durant told The Oklahoman on Thursday. "I had one pair of Team Jordan's, and I wore them everywhere. I hooped in them, played football in them. I had some Shaqs from K-Mart and a pair of Tim Duncans. But I couldn't get a bunch of different ones like I wanted."
Durant's memory of not being able to have the shoes he wanted had a big impact when it came time to price his own line of shoes. While NBA stars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have shoe lines that cost around $150, Durant offers his Nike KD line at $88. His shoe has become one of the most popular on the market.
"If they were $125 I wasn't getting them, but $88, that's reasonable," Durant said. "Plus, I had a brother, too, so my mom wasn't paying $120 for two pairs of shoes. I put them at $88 and a lot of people have been buying them and that's what it's been like for the last couple years."

I disagree, I think they have easily been the best shoe line since Jordan retired. The only knock against them is that they are heavy, and some people don't like that. The only Lebrons that I wasn't really feeling were the 5s and 6s

Durant's memory of not being able to have the shoes he wanted had a big impact when it came time to price his own line of shoes. While NBA stars like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have shoe lines that cost around $150, Durant offers his Nike KD line at $88. His shoe has become one of the most popular on the market.
"If they were $125 I wasn't getting them, but $88, that's reasonable," Durant said. "Plus, I had a brother, too, so my mom wasn't paying $120 for two pairs of shoes. I put them at $88 and a lot of people have been buying them and that's what it's been like for the last couple years."

Uhh wtf Kevin Durant admitted in an interview he had his own personal basketball assistant when he was younger and he couldn't afford kicks?
Plus KD's are not damn $88 dollars. I love buying KD's one of the most stylish hoop shoes but they are not no damn $88

Yeah who made up that fake quote :no: Footlocker has Durant shirts going for damn $40 what makes you think his shoes are $88?
Also Starburys ftw I wish I could go back in time and cop 4 or 5 more pairs. What an amazing deal. That Marbury was one good guy

Uhh, last year's model were exactly $87.99. This years model only increased to $94.99.
Even at that, $94.99 is really only the SUGGESTED retail price. Not hard AT ALL to find them in store for around $70-$75. Even lower for certain colors.

They cost like $2000 not hypebeast at all.
And as for the Durants being $88, Footlocker has them for like $120 $150 right now. Also in my neighborhood sneaker stores and other popular shoe stores. He should have kept them at $88 if he really did originally plan to keep it that way. The KD's got extremely popular in my area in a shoe meetup website they can go for $180 maybe even $200

Well, yeah. If you're talking about resellers, or course the price is jacked up. Doesn't changed the fact that the KD4 retailed for $95 and the KD3 retailed for $88.
BTW, I hope you're hypebeast comment was sarcastic.

Maybe back in your day but the official Nike store has the KD4's for $140 right now. Also footlocker (when they weren't sold out) had em for $120-$140 (I copped a pair)
Also I guess your neighborhood has a different meaning of hypebeast. Where I live being a hypebeast is Camo shorts, a bulls snapback, and a new retro jordan (olympic 6's 7's) Having yeezys would be "fresh" where i'm from

Dude footlocker was sellings ID's during the olympics. I remember because they had those Lebrons ID that have the vertical testers going for like $250 and a bunch of others. They aren't selling right now but they were a couple weeks ago.

Then why are you claiming to not only being seeing iD's stocked at footlocker, but you claim to have purchased iD's there. Are you gonna finally just admit you were lying all along?

I wasn't lying the ID's on Nike are colorways. The same colorways are on footlocker they just don't have customization.
I honorably admit I was wrong about thinking I knew something about Nike ID's
Basically I bought a Durant colorway that has the same colorway as a Nike ID
Why would you think I'm lying? Footlocker does that shit all the time
