Im still amazed at how Nike so badly botched the Lebron and KD lines. Between the asinine price increases (which probably had to do with their deals) to the uninspired designs that look to much like offshoot Nikes of year past. I wouldn't call the lines unsalvageable but Nike will have to do what they've never done and re envision these brands.

You had a $95 KD4 with an aesthetically pleasing design that had so much hype and they delivered with great colorways. To go from that to the most generic high top sig basketball shoe ever and raise the price was just :mindblown:. Totally halted all the momentum of the brand.

Then to take the Lebron 10s and charge people 200 dollars and use the lame excuse of that "tech garbage" and then keep the price that high for the next iteration while lazily designing that shoes is just :mindblown:
the lebron 11s and 12s(EXTs at lest) are pretty dope though.
the 13s however???? GARBAGE

Hype will literally determine if I buy the masters or not

And that's because the hype will determine their resell (in which case I'll try to buy two or 3 if I can make a decent return on a pair) or make them trade bait


I don't plan on keeping.. French blues can go as well, I'm eying those Flu Games. Them joints so beautiful

I love the 11s I even have a pair but damn near all of them sat on the sales racks for months. The price tag is just silly
word. there were at least 2 pairs of 12s that i wanted (i was a broke student during the 11s run) but i couldnt bring myself to pay $300 CAD for em at the time :yeshrug:
