If Kobes came out in a paper bag i would still buy them. Is the box really that big of a deal?

That's exactly how I see it... how many years does Kobe have in NBA? How many for LeBron? Go figure.Originally Posted by ElderWatsonDiggs
Yeah sure, that's exactly how Nike thought of it. "Hey let's give Lebron the more interesting box, but so we don't piss off Kobe give him the more interesting shoes."Originally Posted by swingshot
Lebron gets a more interesting box.
Kobe gets the more interesting shoes.
Maybe he just doesn't care.
Guys whether y'all like it or not Nike sees Lebron as the present AND future of Nike, he'll be around longer and make more money for Nike from this point on out. Kobe had his chance, and Nike was just about to go all in for him until Katelyn Faber came up to his room. Sure his image has rebounded from that incident, but don' think for one second that it didn't affect him as far as Nike's poster boy.
Kobe has like 4 sig shoes from Nike... ok 5 including the Hyperdunk.
LBJ, as for today, has 6 (I-VI) + 4 (3xSoldiers, 20-5-5) + 2 (Low ST, Ambassador) = 12. Not to mention 4 low-tops. Even if you decide to skip the last two that's 10 high end basketball sneakers.
Nike has two best NBA players under their wing... of course the marketing is different for both of them, but Bron is the future.

I could pretty much bet Kobe wont finally get a special box design and say...."Yes... I made it"
Maybe like his shoes Kobe prefers no frills unless its something super limited like those glass cases....

Im not bashing YOUR question.. I am merely asking a rhetorical one my man. Have you seen ANY of my comments on the Lebron line over the years? lolol.. To say I LOVE it.. is kinda funny my man....
I have sat in on Meetings for Kobe and Lebron for Marketing. So Im not just throwing stuff out there bro. Not at all... I pretty much stay in the middle. Not I dont like Kobes Low... cause I dont wear lows.. but the 3 was different and comfortable. The II was a beast for comfort...
Reassess your thoughts my man...
Is Lebron killing Kobe in sales? Depends on if you mean in-line (retail) or energy (HoH) .......
I like to throw the obvious out so you can think from a different perspective and not just a fans point of view...
Dont be so sensitive lol... dont let my humor offend you.

Just think. Kobe's shoes do well on their own. Kobe folks know that... Brons shoe needs extra to add to the shoe....?
Look at the Jordan Line... when the line started going down hill.. that XVII had a suitcase.. to make up for what the shoe WAS NOT... Take away and distract from the shoe...and mayne the shoe will get much focus.. lol
I think that same thing is happening now.
Look at the Mr. Basketball... I saw that thing MONTHS and MONTHS before it released.. they even tried to redo it... but put that thing in a BIG OLE Locker type thing.... Did the Locker save the shoe? no.. It went to Outlets anyway.
If I were UA I would put Brons shoe in a Brown Paper Lunch bag... cause thats what he does... Goes to work everyday and brings his lunch. That joint would sell just as much and get as much hype as the shoe it self.
ITs the Story BEHIND the shoe thats important for Marketing .... Not the packaging that surrounds it.
