LeBron James Is NBA's Top Shoe Salesman, Keeping Nike Firmly In Lead

[IllmaticDelta]

LeBron James carried the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the NBA playoffs last night with a dominating performance. He averaged 34 points over the seven games and led his team in rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. He scored three times as many points as any teammate and assisted on five times as many baskets as any other Cav.

King James probably won’t win a fifth regular-season MVP Award, with James Harden the overwhelming favorite, but LeBron remains the most dominating figure in the sport.


James’ dominance carries over off the court as the NBA’s top shoe seller in 2017 with his Nike signature sneakers. The Adidas-sponsored Harden doesn't crack the top five players in the “performance”-oriented basketball category, according to data from market research firm NPD Group. Nike athletes Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant ranked second and third, respectively, for signature shoe sales last year.

As a parent who now goes to a bunch of kids basketball games, this list 100% reflects what the kids wear in my area pretty much in order.
