I hate to state the obvious but they manufacture the shoes. Can you really fault them for getting first dibs?

[h1]CHRIS WEBBER CALLS TIME OUT ON NIKE SHOE DEAL[/h1]
Published November 5, 1996
Code:
The Bullets Chris Webber has "severed ties" with Nikebecause he says the company "refuses" to lower the price of itsbasketball shoe named after him, according to Frank Hughes of theWASHINGTON TIMES. Webber's three-year deal with Nike recentlyran out, and his agent, Fallasha Erwin, said that they would notnegotiate a new deal because Nike "insisted" they continue tocharge $140 for the CWebb shoe, more than any other sneaker onthe market. Erwin said he and Webber disagree with Nike's ideato target inner-city youths in an attempt to begin buying trendsthat move to the suburbs. Erwin said they also didn't like theidea that the shoe could create violence between kids who had theshoe, and those who couldn't afford it. Webber: "How can Icharge that [price] for my shoe when I speak to all those inner-city kids and preach to them? How can my shoe cost more thanMichael Jordan's?" Nike had no comment. Erwin said with nocontract, Nike cannot manufacture or sell the CWebb. Since thedeal ran out, Webber has been wore Converse's All-Star 2000.Erwin has called Converse about an endorsement, but Converse hasnot called back. For now, Webber blackens out the logo(WASHINGTON TIMES, 11/5).

Is the Black Diamond colorway this year's "triple black" colorway?

The lower-end shoe is probably justification for the high-priced one. But, in reality, the one bearing Lebron's name is the one that will be naturally associated with him. They're not going to say, "well Lebron does have a cheaper shoe," just like most news outlets reported Lebron's $315 sneaker with barely a footnote of "well there is a cheaper version."
For Lebron to be the forefront of Nike, his shoe basically needs to be the most expensive one. We can argue why it doesn't need to be, but you know Nike is going to throw in some tech just so that overall price tag is "premiere." That idea is probably motivating Nike and Lebron to keep pushing the prices. Lebron, at this point in his life, is probably more concerned with establishing an image and brand, as is Nike.
High prices are all relative though. A lot of people talk about the KD's being affordable for a sig shoe, but they're not affordable for a shoe. $100 is still a lot for inner city kids.

I applaud Durant for keeping it real on the prices, as most of todays NBA top stars came from broken homes or didn't have much money growing up, and they could not afford "Jordans".
Lebron is no different, and we all know his lifestyle growing up, living in the projects, not money and couldn't afford shoes etc. So why on gods earth are you gonna sit around and let Nike do to others as was done to you?
I can afford both versions, but you guys all make good points. Lebron probably can't do anything about the price, but he could come out and say, "If I could, I would make all my shoes affordable for all, but it's out of my hands unfortunately". You know that ***** aint gonna say **** though. Nike got that leash around his neck, and if he even decides to speak his mind they're gonna pull on it, a la JP when he made those arrogant comments regarding D. Rose.
Every year the price goes up. Lebron XI = $190, Lebron XII = $200 etc.

typo for the Aways? normally Nike releases the regular version Aways at the end of October.. and we already saw pics of those so i dont understand why there will be a 290 version of Aways also if this info is correct...
i am tho very interested in the "black diamond" colorway
Not sure what you are asking on the Aways?
The 10/23 is a Black/Red colorway, but not the colorway posted in this thread...it is $290, it is a X+
On the Black Diamond...it isn't the boring Triple Black of years past...there is "depth" to the colorway...

I've never been the type of person to say a shoe looks better w/ either shorts or jeans on...I mean, if you know how to dress than you know how to dress. If a shoe is ugly it's just ugly...lol. But, I'm liking the shoe overall I just wanna see more CWs now
