As labor, materials and shipping costs increase, Nike is raising shoe and clothing prices by 5% to 10%, analysts say. 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 prices for sneakers these days seem ridiculous to me, what is the most you are willing to spend on a pair of sneakers? The version of the, “Lebron X,” with out the, “Nike+,” technology will be $180.

the future is paved with idiots who buy this shit….some nike brons for a car note…nig only won 1 champion ship
trash and nike is fucking crazy
@Niglect – you couldn’t of said it better. $315 for 1 pair of shoes is beyond dumb! And why the hell do you need motion censors in your damn shoe? What the hell are you trying to prove?? LOL
All you broke bums needa stop HATIN. Just cuz you broke dont mean other ppl cant buy nice things. These shoes will be highly limited and you prolly wouldnt be able to buy them even if you wanted to buy them thats how limited there gunna be. Ppl are going to be sleeping overnight for these and they will sell out in seconds.
brons for a car note. 315??? Whta kinda car you driving bum
Go buy a pair 100 dollar kicks, and put the other 215 in an interest barring saving account, but watch the dummy’s from the hood go buy them.
315? That’s the kind of payment you have when you have good credit, and have a good down payment. Just cause you’ve never seen it don’t mean it don’t exist.
Sweat Shop labor prices are going up SMFH
I will NEVER buy another pair of Nikes ever again. While I see some comments about “broke bums” or whatever, tell that to the mother who will lose her son because somebody murdered him for these sneakers. Fuck people like Jordan and James. It’s their people who lose lives because of these “exclusive” shoes. It’s their people who act super ignorant and are willing to commit crimes for these sneakers. Big ups to people like Marbury. What’s ill is that somebody like Lebron had enough juice when he signed his Nike deal to tell Nike, “I don’t want my shoes to EVER go over $100. If you can’t agree to that, then I am going to Adidas”. What do you think Nike would have done?
there good looking shoes but no ones paying 315
why do people alyaws hate on this kid ?? Job or no-job , his kicks or the stores kicks. He’s doing a review. If you have them don’t watch it , if you thinking aboutgetting them cop’em if YOU like them , and if you don’t like the kid don’t watch his videos ..duh
