very true. it sucks that we even have to wish for a HWC to drop. kobe fans get every colorway known to man. i also want to see the kentucky's drop. if it was a kobe shoe, it would've been dropped already.
Y'all mustve not been paying attention last year with the VI...Do y'all remember all those colorways dropping????
I thought I remember reading that LeBron's camp and Petrie wanted to
limit the colorways to preserve the specialness of the shoe. Thats why LeBron rejected the iD platform.
Also too the Kobe IV and Kobe V have been
selling out. The
last few Lebrons not so much especially the VII.You got people who hate Kobe's guts wearing the shoe because of the performance and you got people who love LeBron but wont wear his shoe because of the performance.
i can understand "limiting the colors", and also about not selling out............
if youre expecting to sell out and keep the shoe special, release the best colorways.
although its been repeated several times, it worth noting again.
NIKE has been releasing a bunch of SECOND TIER COLORWAYS and expect to sell out everyone?! CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAA
if youre intentions is to limit c.w's and keep it a special shoe...
RELEASE THE BEST COLORWAYS NOT SOME 2nd TIER B.S
breakdown....
top 7 c.w's of the L.B VII...... (in no particular order) regardless if released or not--
-Red Carpets
-CTKs
-Cav Fanatic
-HWC blue
-SVSM away
-Akron
-U.K
thats 4/7 of the best c.'ws NOT RELEASING... more than half.
and thats not even mentioning the "BRET HARTS", Fairfax, HWC orange, and SVSM sample homes, all of which also trump most of the releases thus far.
now that the dust is finally settling.... what i proclaimed several times in the past as a signature that could have been truely iconic--
came up disappointing to say the least, A HALF ***$ job imho.
sorry for the rant, but i guess it stemmed from frustration and stress from cramming for finals off 1 hour of sleep.
bottom line is if nike had done things the right way, id probably have 10+ C.W's of the l.b VII. and shoe woulda went down in sneaker history as one of, if not the single best recent signature release in the past 5-10 years.
now its just the Jason Williams (Duke) of the sneaker game,
"What Could have been..........."
