LeBron James + Nike for Lyfe

I'm going to make this short. I'm not a fan of LeBron James. I don't like the way he plays or conducts himself off the court. BUT his shoes are a different story. Since James has signed with Nike, wayyy before he even started playing professionally, I knew he would make a lot of money. His sneakers are different. What I like is that not every pair is the same. Like when Jordan's are re-released you can pretty much guess what they are going to look like. LeBron's are different. NO color scheme is ever repeated. (correct me if I am wrong but I doubt I am). My favorite are the "What The" LeBron's.
 Look how bold the pattern is. Not everyone can pull those off. But with Jordan's anyone can do it, some people just do a better job. But seriously the Lifetime contract James has with Nike is estimated to be worth more than 500 million. I think he real winner here might be Nike. If LeBron leaves a legacy that is anything like Micheal Jordan left he will be making a lot of money. But with Nike having not only LeBron, but Jordan, Durant (don't get me started on KDs), Irving, and Kobe just to name a few well known BASKETBALL players. Nike will never have to worry about not being popular. As for LeBron, he could break his ankle tomorrow and will still be making money. Life is crazy. Makes me wish I was good at basketball or something. Let me know who you think got the better end of the deal, LeBron or Nike.
You're Welcome, G.

Wheat 1s

                                                     

During the break I got another pair of sneakers. I had seen these MONTHS ago and I knew I needed them. The Wheat 1s are covered with suede from to bottom and have a gum sole. These are my most ¨unique¨ sneakers in my collection. All of my sneakers are ones that a lot of other people have or wanted. When it came to the wheat I wanted them because I needed them. Like I feel like everyone has a pair of shoes that they cant wear all the time because they don't go with a lot of stuff. That's how I'd describe these. I have worn them twice since i got them with really simple things.Mostly all black. The only thing I don't really like about the suede is that i cant wear them when it rains. I don't want them to get ruined too bad. In the picture you cant really see it but they look like Timberland boot sneakers. Its weird. But honestly I wouldn't recommend these for everyone. If you have a very unique style or you're looking to expand your taste these are for you.
You're welcome. G.
