LeBron and his entourage drove away the greatest shoe designer ever at Nike.

Some important points:

> Guy was responsible for the most iconic Jordans

> Kobe would come in by himself. He was very smart. He was forward thinking because he knew what he wanted and needed to be a better player

> Then you have someone like LeBron who comes in and says "I like timbalandaz, I like dis, can you make it like dis?" and then have his entire entourage say something useless

> LeBrons line isn't as good as it could have been



So LeBron is very effective at driving / getting smart people fired.

Lebron and his hatred for the white man. :facepalm

Lebron and his hatred for the white man. :facepalm


Originally Nike did not want him to even say something because they wanted to protect LeBron's image (story of his life). But these things leaks out one way or another. Especially since LeBron has pretty much had a pattern of doing these exact same things with a lot of other things (i.e - coaching, players, business deals).

[AirTupac]

Hello???

[bullettooth]

LeBron is such a piece of trash. This guy has ruined everything he's gotten himself involved with. ****in hoodrat.

Can't wait until this douchebag retires from the NBA.

[AirTupac]

The fact that LeBrons team tries to hide LeBrons real personality is very telling. Its a main reason why I disliked LeBron to begin with. He's very fake and manufactured. He does have an issue with white people, its clear as day.

"Tinker actually got in trouble for making this public.

Because Nike was so protective of LeBron and his image."




:roll: :roll: :roll: Nike confiscates again for Bron. Tinker is literally the GOAT designer and he wasn't trying to listen to LeBron's posse about what they like in other shoes.


Nike had to release a public statement saying how proud they are to work with LeBron. And that Tinker was just expressing his personal opinion:

They make shit shoes either way. Nike is the Beats by Dre of shoes. Might just be the whole sneaker game is like that.

Taco Tuesday? - Trying to brand something thats existed for decades for profit

Schools for kids? Would it surprise you to find out that the city of Akron’s taxpayers are actually paying for 75-80% of the school and its yearly expenses?

“It’s a district-owned building. The district will hire and pay the teachers and administration. Kids will ride district buses to school. And they will all eat the free breakfast and lunch the district gives all students."

"In fact, LeBron’s foundation it’s his foundation, which solicits donations from other individuals and companies to do his charitable work"

His foundation is only on the hook for $500,000 a year for the next several years.

According to Forbes Magazine last year LeBron made $85.5 million.

Even if we give LeBron credit for all of that yearly money coming out of his own pocket that means LeBron’s committing .0058 of his yearly income on “his school.” Its like someone donating less 200 bucks on a 50k salary except no one donated money to their foundation for said donation.


So phony and fake:oldlol:

Strongly disagree with Tinkerbell vision, jk I don't follow fasion designers. However Kobe's best shits were and always will be the Moon 12's. Not the retro colorway shitz, the authentics

people joke about KB12 Moons but they are subjectively one of the most comfortable sneaks, like Airwalks or Vans

and they're not as minimalist as people think, the Mememorial Day Moon's sold out JcPenny's and some Dillards

Even 16yo Lebron paid homage. :applause: Along with his entire Alididas sponsored St Vincent St Mary team. No joke, trains filled with Moons were dumped into NE Ohio like was a toxic waste site for those AAU teams, oversupplied yet still highly demand. Section 8 residents used them as firewood that winter. Still graveyards with 100 foot pits and abandoned nuke silos filled with mint condition Moons and Browns quaterback jerseys

But they look really ugly. They're not something I can see most adults wearing. They seem to be the type of shoes kids would love - something right out of a Sega Megadrive video game.

Astheics wise only half decent LeTaco collab was with John Elliot, even then they're trash with LeBron's smear of arrogance. Everyones got some pro models they just wouldn't and won't ever rock. KD is one for me, and AI, whilst I enjoyed his drama, Reebok Answers are trash, weird though because I would play in Shaqs Pumps anyday.
Sure Kobe had a questionable model, you guys played in AD's though? Not bad could do with more ankle support, Protros are good too, decent cushioning.
Tinker's made some amazing on/off court stuff, how often do you see guys rocken Lebrons compared to Jordan's or even Kobes as casual kicks. There's your answer right there.

[iamgine]

Well Tinker, like most designers, probably don't like too many inputs. Lebron and his entourage had too many inputs. That's about it. No great tragedy here.

Of course he shouldn't say it publicly. :facepalm

I’m furious LeBron is so much better than my hero Kobe. It’s just not fair!
:lol

[AirTupac]

I like how Tinker started talking like a hood rat when he was imitating LeBron and his posse in the video in the OP. "I lyk dis, i lyk timbalanz"

[AirTupac]

Why Did He Chase Away The Goat Designer??

LeBron: I lyk diss, i lyk dem timbalanz, can u mayke em lyk dys?

Tinker: -shakes head and leaves room-

[superduper]

I suppose when you’re a fan of a player ranked at best as the 12th best basketball player ever and then a player leapfrogs him and becomes a top five basketball player ever, you have to find any pathetic victory you can to discredit the top five player ever.

Keep typing your shit from the stained mattress on the floor of your mum’s basement, with only a semen stained homemade Kobe sex doll for company, Kobetards.

Kobe will always be more respected than LeIrrelevantWithoutCollusions by a landslide majority number of people that have ever touched an NBA court. I know this hurts Bran stans deep down but it's just the reality.

A marketing campaign that has nigguhs convincing themselves and each other that the shoes aren't dogshit. Lebron's are dogshit. Kobe's 8's are dogshit. Every Jordan I've seen is dogshit but I haven't seen them all so if anyone has evidence to the contrary I'd welcome it.

Lol @ you if you really think LeBrons tree trunk garbage bags even compare. EVEN if you think Jordans and Kobes are ugly as shit.

They all had some ugly releases and some decent releases but your just hating if you think every single shoe they came out with were ugly.
