That's Channing Frye's, and those are his Hypershift PE's.Who's locker is next to LeBron's and what are those Nikes sitting in that locker?
NopeBut didn't u cop Friday the 13's ?
Repped, and quoted the sections that I couldn't agree more on @daltonbcHATED the fit (of the XIII). I cannot even begin to describe how bad these hurt the entire side of my right foot until they were broken in.
There were far too many colorways in my opinion. I think the good ones, i.e. the "Greatness" and "Gradient" that never made it to the shelves but instead hit the outlets, while pairs like the "Written in the Stars" which were nice, sat on shelves all year.
Strictly opinion, but at this point I wish Nike would realize that what their athletes wear on TV makes a difference in sales.
Having all of these amazing colorways, like the Media Day yellow/navy and the Cavs gradient were much cleaner than 80% of what came to retail.
The price has dropped this year, so I hope they really don't just call it in.
Lastly, I'm really disappointed in the lack of effort for the Cavs championship. We saw a Champ Pack moments, or within weeks of the first two rings in Miami. This was LeBron's crowning achievement, a moment that defined his entire career, and we have seen literally zero information on a pack and it's October. There was the iD release, but it just almost feels like a letdown. Three colors of the Always Believe tee leads me to believe they had nothing prepared for the Cavs to win. I fail to see how there was absolutely nothing leaked or shown.
Agreed. How Nike isn't cramming LeBron down the world's throats right now in the form of promotion/ads/products is embarrassing. He just won a chip for his hometown, one of the longest droughts a city has faced in the history of sports, and came back from down 3-1. I just can't understand how he and his line are on the backburner, or at least it seems like it. You make a good point about Kyrie too. Hell, even the champ shirts they put out were awful quality, like they did them at the last minute in a rush. Much different than normal dri-fit tees. The lack of effort for him and this moment are so weak from Nike.Appreciate the love @dwoodactennis
It's not so much the ID aspect that bothers me, I'm an ID fiend. I love that everyone had an opportunity to get the shoe, but the reason I felt let down was the effort.
The ID pair has a flat gold grain color instead of the metallic gold he wore, and came in just basic ID packaging.
It just seems less significant compared to what they've done in the past.
I'd be all for a legitimate celebration shoe hitting retail and everyone getting a pair, the quantity doesn't really matter to me. I'm on the same boat as you about the 9s, it's practically unobtainable until they Retro it all in the future (fingers crossed [emoji]128514[/emoji]), it just seems like a massive effort problem. They just signed him to a billion dollar life time deal, and he just accomplished the monumental achievement he was supposed to do, and Nike practically did nothing for it.
Hell they don't even have his next signature model ready for the season opener lol. I'd hate to see the biggest game in Cavs history where James and the gang get the rings, with LeBron wearing a TB Soldier X lol.
Same for Kyrie. It's just lack of effort. With the poor sales and numbers they had last year, I would have expected more out of them.
Remember the mvp 6? That was fire along with the cool t shirt
Stop making up thingsI heard that Nike delayed production because they pushed hard for the MAGs to be released. As for the design for the 14s, I have no clue.

Nike's a in a transitional state right now. LBJ's sneaker line is in a tough spot as it's in its 14th iteration yet it isn't really sought after by the general public.
I blame Nike for this as they've been force feeding/riding retro for 10+ years and they have no legacy for the inline product. Hell even now, a few people on NT are asking for some of the older Lebron product to retro but how many of the regular public would purchase a LBJ retro?
It's kinda sad to see the young NBA cats wear some low quality JB retro on the media days or even on the court.
Re: the lack of Championship packs, etc... Nike must have access to marketing data and they must really feel that it doesn't make sense to produce a champ package that'll inevitably get marked down too.
No sir. A champ pack would sell out right away given the historical significance of the win. No way would a champ pack sit.@dwoodactennis, @daltonbc
