I agree. Look at it this way.....
In the past several years, Kobe's line has possibly been just as popular as Lebron's. Yet from IV to VII, I can't think of one Kobe that he has worn in game or on the street that hasn't dropped in stores in the way that your average consumer has some chance of obtaining. And this man won multiple titles during that run. Maybe Year of the Dragon VIIs cause they were an Asia only drop.....but still they can be purchased from several overseas shops & your only paying about $50 more than retail.
It isn't Nike, it's Lebron whose responsible for this unattainable nonsense.
Ahh.. The ego of sneakerheads.That is EXACTLY my point. I don't care, I will make my assessment of LeBron's character. The bottom line is if he wanted his fans to have the same colorways as he wears on court, they would. He is just being selfish. I wonder how he would feel if he couldn't get the same shoes Jordan wore on the court. I'm sure he wouldn't have liked it. I guess he's lost touch with the regular everyday person. Not cool in my book and I don't care for any heat I may take here. Just keeping things real.
First of all..
The regular everyday person could careless about LeBron PEs
Secondly..
How you gonna base your assessment of Brons character by the shoes he didn't release?
What shoes he decides to release is a business decision fam.
What about the hard work and determination just to get to the point he is at now?
What about him putting his good friends in better positions to succeed?
What about his pass first style when hes hooping?
But I guess none of that is matters in your assessment.
If anything.. Its the consumer/sneakerhead who is selfish.
They feel entitled to everything this man wears.
Because Lebron doesn't do the things you want him to do..
People seem to resent him. That's corny to me.
I agree Lebron is responsible for the unattainable kicks.
We could look at him as selfish.. But that's not what I see..
I just see someone that's in control of his life.. And I personally admire that.
I wish he would drop everything he rocks on court.. But if he doesn't.. Oh well.
I wasn't with Lebron shooting in the gym.. So he doesn't owe me anything.
And if I was in his position.. I know I would be doing the same thing.
That being said..
I think Bron is a smart guy.. He knows exactly what hes doing.
Hes just creating the demand for the retros 5-6 years from now.
You think he's gonna be retroing cool grey 7s and 8s and triple black 9s?
Na fam.. Its gonna be the HWC's.. Hero Pack 7s.. Lebronald Palmers.. SBs.. Champ 9s.. Etc..
And I will be ready to cop whenever they do drop.
