Actually the issue isnt the shoes retro'ing per se but more about how they would be badged...
Think About it: since he entered the league, LeBron's shoes have had three different badges(so far):
- the original LBJ23 badge (for Models 1-7),
- the LBJ6 signature (model,
- the LJ crown (model 9-forward?),
- and potentially the LJX logo we've seen in the LeBron X thread
The issue is really what would be on the retro's(ie "Nike Air") to separate them-if they would separate them in the first place-
From the OG's...

I don't know,but if it's not the 2 and the 4... i'm not interested.
Great point. Lebron's sig is just starting to break out and releasing retros would only break the momentum. Once we see sales dip for his sig shoes, retros will be brought into the discussion again.Originally Posted by NikeDealer

How many people would have gone after the Lebron IX this year if the II or III or even IV in a lighter sleeker version had been released? It doesnt make smart business sense for Nike Basketball to let that happen .... but yes..it will be a consideration if he win's a Chip.. perhaps a Package.. But I wont lie.. if Bron won a Chip.. I would have LOVED to have seen a VII or VIII Package... and some Retro Releases.
Thats just me.. but I wanted to share
