i kinda like the red and black CW & for $200 that's not a bad price not a bang for your buck either.

The more I look, the more I like some of the leaked colorways. I'll definitely grab at least one pair for playing.
Also, do the athletes actually have any say in the pricing? Sometimes people saying the price is too high will say that lebron is killing people with these prices, but I figured Nike is solely responsible for choosing the price.

I don't think athletes have much if a say because look at the KD line. KD said he didn't want his shoe being more than a $100 but the KD V and VI are above $100. Many times when making a shoe the more you add onto it the more the price will raise.

KD should care more about having the best on his feet instead of sacrificing technology for the low cost.

I disagree. He could have used that $140 shoe as motivation for the inner city youths he cared so much about to go to college and get a good job so that they would be able to afford nice things.
There's nothing wrong with high priced shoes guys. It's called capitalism which has made this the most prosperous country in the world. If you can't afford them, don't buy them. It's not a necessity.

but as a role model to the kids, who he interacts with directly.... i can understand exactly what his motivation was.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say you wanted to sound cool so you also made a complaint and poor joke about the price of this model.

nice observation.. go on

true... but the other shoes over 200, like foams and barkley posites, people wear casually more than to ball in. 200 seems like a lot to ball in and destroy

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Then you got it backwards. Basketball shoes are meant to be more expensive than casual shoes because there's more built into the shoe for harder impact use.

Way overly simplistic view of capitalism. Yes it's been the engine of untold prosperity, but there is an inherent evil to it, too, because of its tendency to run out of control and run roughshod over many, many people as it does. I believe in it, but there's too much philistinism in most people's defense of it, that's all.
..and I'll STILL grab some XI's, because the "just don't buy it" thing doesn't work to change a whole industry, only a mass boycott could do that. I want the shoes, and I want to pay a more fair price. Nothing wrong with that. Shoes are a passion, so I'm gonna keep buying and complaining at the same time. As for defending high prices as an incentive to poorer kids to work harder in school, etc...lol
