Nike has a ridiculous profit margin.
Those rap videos, Yeezy, Concords, Allstar Game 2012 just helped to cement the mainstream acceptance of their shoes. But it's a bubble, and it'll burst. As they say, what goes up, must come down. Even the Roman empire crumbled, yadda, yadda...Apple isn't number one in the mobile sector...blah, blah, blah (But those profit margins).
And the Lebron XI lows are just ugly to me. They are extremely comfortable. And the designs/color ways of the SE lows and Acid Lion lows are great. Like I mentioned to sneakermane in the IX thread, the 9 low was great because like a low top edition should do, it LOOKs like the high top. The Kobe 9 Elite low looks like the high. Not sure what crack they were smoking with the X and XI lows. Aesthetically ugly shoes.
