Lebron James on black business: I would never wear a $20 sneaker

[Illeye buckmatic]

I won't clown starburys. Gave kids from poor families a chance to wear a nba players shoe Having said that I'd never personally rock them

James said Wednesday he would never have a discount line.

“Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high. And we do a great job of putting out great merchandise, great shoes. It does come with a price that is pretty high, but at the same time you’re getting great quality for it.”

But it ain’t the same Material tho.

For example the the LeBron 17’s got two zoom pods in the front and a large air max unit in the back and shoe is comfortable as hell.

You not getting that in a $20 dollar retail shoe.

A knockoff Bron might be 30 or 40 tops for sale in the states.

lots of these cats in China make more bread selling the "knockoffs" than the "real". They just taking the extra material left over and makin the knockoffs in a factory close by with the same material. shyt is shameless and

So Zion wouldn’t have busted out of them Starbury’s

 

[Stick Up Kid]

He’s right tho, why would he devalue his brand name?

I’d like to hear his thoughts now; 13 years later

I bet if I looked back at some of my posts in 2007 on SOHH, I would be at myself

The funniest part about it is a lot of the “knockoffs” look nearly exactly identical to the real ones. You wouldn’t necessarily notice it by the eye test.

Even GOAT and StockX fukk up sometimes when it comes to sneaks authentication.

 

[GOAT]

Unless he has come out and retracted these comments since, then his 2007 statement still holds and he should be held accountable for it.

 

[mozichrome]

never really wanted a pair or marburys or even them Shaq sneakers
but salute them for making affordable shoes for the people

I look back at some of @smitty22 posts from 13 DAYS ago with utter disgust. Couldn't imagine 13 years ago.

2007?

I pray to the Lord I have this kinda hamstring flexibility when I'm Fred's age. That wasn't no stunt dude neither. If I tried to do that now I'd have to go get a massage.

Them knock-offs still gonna have a a higher quality if they used the same materials as the authentics

I don’t care either way, black business or not them Starbury’s are ugly and a Nike swoosh can save them shoes.
