LeBrons can be worn more casually but Kobes strictly basketball? I have to disagree. Plenty of people wear kobes casually. 

imo, kobes only good with shorts.
I dont like kobes with jeans, its not my style.

co-sign.

Exactly... I think the market for "Retros" are for the folks that wear Gym shoes casually... And every Lebron in the "Lebron" series can be worn casually... Just like the "Air Jordan" Line...

Me personally, I would never hoop in a retro shoe because NIKE is a "Moving forward", innovative company...And their shoes are always getting better and better performance wise... So I'd never settle for outdated performance on the court 


As for Kobes... I've always looked at His shoes as Strictly hooping shoes because Kobe is a Gym Rat...and His shoes are based on his persona... I don't think I've ever seen Kobe rock "Kobes" Casually...

 

[you big dummy]

2chainz!

wearing nike lebron 9 big bang, all-star, galaxy

 

[milwaukeebucks]

^yeah I definitely see what you're saying, the time i can think of is at DisneyLand when he wore Chaos V's. But true that he usually is always in the gym with his kicks.

 

[bigbrandon]

Had to do a double take. Thought 2chainz was Sneakermane for a second.

Neither player won a ring in their respective sports but that's not stopping people from buying their shoes. Barkley's are selling good but no rings. Shoes and career are very different. People have shown they'll buy what looks good if they aren't a fan and fans have shown they'll buy whatever even if it's ugly if they are a fan.

To be on Jordan Retro level he needs too.
Also all of those players you mention are liked, no bias or negative intent from fans or media. When James left Cavs, and the way it played out, he sort of hurt his legacy.

P.S. Barkley's are selling well? Nike must be throwing around that 'limited' tag again 

 

[joulze]

I wish every time a new pair of Lebron 9's would come out people wouldn't automatically call them the best or the "number one" out of the Lebron 9 series

and slap them at the top of their list, just because the shoes are newer.

Oh you notice this too? 

Chinas are still #1 imo, but people who list BBs #1 have a strong case too

Yeah but with that exact logic Pippen retroes should be selling just as good as Jprdan retroes. Same team same years same rings.

It's their opinion. My opinion though is that they are hyping it up.

 Always helps with sales.

If your ceiling for cannons are that high, you'll probably find some on ebay, maybe even lower.

as someone stated earlier. the shoes fit their persona. Try to imagine kobe having lebrons shoe line and vice versa...

in my opinion, Kobe's Nike shoes are more in line with Jordan's, simple/classy, unlike Lebrons that are "look at me" kinda deal.

although nothing wrong with that...I love Lebron IX's in terms of wearability and style.

Dude sounds like a kobe stan. Kobes shoes have been just as "look at me" as brons have the past few years. The Oc's were a shade less gaudy than the bangs. 3DS too. etc. The kobe 7s are hideous though.Brons line>kobes
