Any one else fed up with Nike's idea to release Lebron VIII V1, V2 and V3?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that Nike wants to sell shoes but this is BS that every 2 months they are essentially coming out with a new shoe for Lebron.
Its not just a different colorway. And Nike is releasing a million colorways for each shoe. I can't even count how many colorways have been released for the Kobe VI.
What ever happened to the day when you could buy like an Air Jordan XIII and look forward to maybe 5 or 6 colorways over the span of an entire year?
Thoughts/comments appreciated!!!

Did you see the contract that Lebron signed with Nike? They gotta RE-COOP that money somehow.

Yeah I liked V1 and V2's the most. Actually I kinda liked the aggressive/sporty look of the V2s. I was pissed after getting the V1s because I hadn't expected V2s!! I wonder if they're gonna do Lebron Soldiers too, @#$wipes
But you're right, bottomline is that we don't have to buy anything, at the end of the day its our call on what to pick up.

This was advertised beforehand as well.

The average non-sneakerhead wouldn't have known that obviously, but that's the whole point of marketing... Bringing something out even better than before.

But with the V3s...

I wasnt for it at first... But I came around.

100% Agree.  I'm sure all of us could do without those V3s.  It's just such a HUGE disappointment on what Nike decided to do with the dunkman this year =\.  They should have made it a V1 or V2 instead.

They should just stuck with the V/2.

Kobe came out with 3 different versions of the Kobe II. No complaints about that....

it is a little excessive, but they gotta get the money back from the contract one way or the other. just buy what you like. i saw the v1 and didn't care about them, but the v2 was a different story. now i've grown to like a couple different colors of the v1 so i've scooped those, v3 are a easy pass. before when i was a lebron fan i woulda felt compelled to get them all, but now i just get the ones i'll wear and call it a day. makes life and my pocket book much happier

I wonder if the 3 versions was a decision made my Lebron and his entourage?

RE: Kobes...Blame the people buying 5-15 colorways each year. Nike is merely supplying people with what they want.

At one time, people only wanted one or two colors, but times have changed.

For the lebrons, you are actually getting 3 different setups and models. So Lebron fans are actually getting the better deal in theory. That is unless you hate one of the three versions and/or feel slighted knowing your favorite version doesnt really have great colorway choices.

Kobe may have 10 great colorways to choose from on one model. Lebron may have just 2 or 3 for each version. So I guess they had to pick their poison. Three models and less colorways? Or one model and pimp the hell out of it? It's definitely experimental. You may love a colorway on the lebron V1s but hate the model and wish it was on the V2s. In years past, everything was on an acceptable model. Now we get the illusion of having a choice, but is it really?
