The coming $315 LeBron X Nike Plus, due in the fall, is expected to come embedded with motion sensors that can measure how high players jump. The LeBron 9 PS Elite basketball shoes, which currently retail for $250, feature Nike’s signature swoosh in metallic gold.
Unemployment remains above 8%. Millions of Americans and their families are suffering. Many have lost or are in danger of losing their homes. Many wonder if they’ll still have a job tomorrow. So how do you think Nike is celebrating our New Austerity? Yep; that’s right…by coming out with their first sneaker priced over $300. Yay, team!!!
Why anyone could find any sense or reason in paying $315 for a pair of basketball shoes is something that defies rational explanation, but this is the land of Fox Noise Channel, so it’s a safe bet that Americans can be convinced to do just about anything.
Man, I can hardly wait for the riots and the muggings that will break out once this baby’s released….
