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.

  3. What outfit would you wear with those sneakers? I think that these snickers are very ugly.

  4. alright, i officially don't get it, i mean i've never gotten it, but what's with the sneaker culture? aren't they just shoes? Why would you pay 130$+ [yes i did look this up] for shoes of all things, and sneakers at that? Can someone please explain before i get even more lost?

  5. I personally stopped really caring about the sneaker culture because the designs started getting too generic and there was too much emphasis on Jordans. I personally was always a fan of the LeBrons and I'm glad to see him get this deal because he definitely deserves it. I don't agree, however, with two things. Your opinion on LeBron, and your choice in his shoes. LeBron is the best player in the world (Stephen Curry is on fire, but all around play beats a shooter any day) and he is a class citizen off the court, regardless of whether or not he leaves a team. Also, the What The shoes are all trash. I hate them all. The design has never been appealing and they are all overpriced. LeBron does have a great line of sneakers though.
