Nike LeBron 8 Retro

[6pac]

Nikes probably done with 8retros anyway. I'd prefer some of the pe versions we never got. It works be nice if Nike treated the LBJ like Jordans and issue retros in hundreds of color ways lol.

On one hand it’s dope to not really have to stress about getting Brons for retail

But I can’t see them keep giving him retros if they always are slow to sell

Bred 8’s and Bred IV’s are needed though.

I was thinking this about the 9 retros.

We only have gotten 3..compared to the 7’s…then the 8’s.

Im actually really content with what we got on the 8s. We got 2 PE pairs never before released to the public, a pair that was the pinnacle of the Lebron line, an insanely limited pair in 2011 and 2 new pairs we never had back in 2011. Im first to criticize Nike, but honestly with the retro 8 I can't. I mean yeah it woulda been cool to get the Christmas or Breds but honestly neither are a favorite and what we got was pretty insane. Only pair I didnt care for were the Lakers.

Agreed, I'm happy with the 8retros, (and 7s). Not complaining at all. Lol

Wish we got 112s but was happy with them all

Jordan's were like that once upon time,. Same unfortunately with Kobe.

It might change once he retires, makes the hall of fame....

Yeah but the big difference is most people liked jordan and kobe as people. Lebron is very polarizing and doesn't have the same draw.

Kobe wasn’t polarizing?

…dude was accused of rape.

Early on and with no substantial proof. Not saying he did or didn't but that was the only real thing you can point to about kobe.

He paid his accuser off and publicly apologized to her.

I always thought he was obnoxious and ego-driven.

A lot of the guys he played with didn’t like him.

…rest in peace.

And besides the rape and RIP part, all of this can be applied to lebron *shrug*

Yeah…besides the rape part.

 

[greekgator]

Nobody except kobe and his accuser knows if he truly raped her. Im not advocating he didn't just that nobody truly knows. Payoffs and apologies dont equate to rape. Plenty of shady women out there looking for a pay day. Could've been consensual sex that turned into "he raped me." Either way none of us can prove one way or another. My point is lebron is very polarizing and doesn't have the same popularity as mj and kobe.

The hell is happening here

Jordan was a big jerk He’d tell you himself plenty of people didn’t like him as a person

Absolutely. But by and large most people love Jordan and Kobe. I dont see the same regards for Lebron.

Anyways im not gonna keep going on about this. I dont want to derail this thread. I just don't believe lebron has the same draw as Jordan and Kobe and I dont think his shoes for the most part will become insanely hyped down the road. Just my opinion though.

People only going crazy for Kobe’s shoes now because he passed.

Kobe’s shoes and Brons were same tier. Revisionist history going on.

Kobe on the Tier above bron for sneakers

During the heat/prime of Nike basketball, both Kobe’s and Brons were selling out. I actually had an easier time getting Kobe’s then. They’re on the same tier.

I don’t see how how anyone can say this if they witnessed the chokehold the South beach colorway had on sneakers.

This. Yeah Kobe’s sold out but people REALLY wanted Brons and KD’s.

Was really just that color and then again with the galaxy pack. i remember seeing hella 8’s on sale and shelves.

 

[g-time]

Could say the same for other Kobe color ways as well.

 

[spiderjericho]

I felt they made less Kobe’s than Lebrons production wise.
