When will Nike start retroing the Lebron Line?

Nike began retroing Jordans around MJ's first retirement but also right around the same point in his career where Lebron is now.

The market is there. Lebron's shoes are increasing in popularity year by year.

Is it still too early? Does nike feel they can hold off and can still make decent revenue off the Lebron line 5-10 years from now?

I thought it would have been perfect for them to re-release the "first games" after he won the ring

Also, I'm just salty I can't find a decent pair of the 2's and 3's.

Mods move to retro if needed.

My fault

It would not be wise of Nike to retro lebron kicks just yet. Nike retro Jordans 2 in 1990 five years from the first Jordan's, and sales was very poor. Then they retro the 3's 1993 sale was good put not like to day. They should retro them in the next five years by then everyones kicks are yellow or just beat up by then lol
 
They almost started once. At this point it's likely too early as they probably don't want to take sales away from the current model.
 
I just want the 1-4's to come back out with no changes . . . The Bred 4's in OP

. 5's were meh, maybe could be better with some Retro+ colorways and the 6's might as well be Air Force One Takedowns. 7's were hot but JUST came out, same with 8's and of course 9's.

It really doesn't even have to be a Retro. Could just be marketed as a re-release, like how Nike Basketball dropped the Huarache 2k4's.

We probably won't see them for a while tho. Lebron hasn't hit his athletic prime yet, and if Kobe hasn't gotten a Retro yet, then Lebron won't.
 
Still got DS Bred 4's that I hadn't worn cause they were too big when I bought em but they fit now, gonna un-DS em on the court sometime soon. Going from the Kobe VIIIs to that thing will feel like I got cinder blocks on my feet tho lol.
 
Frankly, too many people have collected this line, so demand probably won't be that high. In fact, you can get MANY 1-6 GR colorways for reasonable, if not under retail, prices.
 
I think a retro line could be successful, but they would need to reduce the number of colorways of the current year model.  I don't think Nike would want to do this, because they can sell the current year model at a much higher price point than they could a retro.
 
As long as they are his own retro line and not through the NSW it'll be nice. I want OG CWs not some watered down, cool at the moment colors on the old kicks. If I see a SB AZG I'll know right off the bat what direction the retros will go in and whether I'll partake or not...
 
once the hype drops on the new lebrons, we will see retros. Until then, theres no reason for nike to re-release any of the older ones
 
I really like the IV I was looking for some but some where along the line I quit and now the X is out lol
 
I hope they retro some the earlier shoes in line soon. Getting more pairs of the AZGs, IIs, and IVs.

Weren't these supposed to be a retro AZG colorway a few years back?

The 3s are so damn sexy

Link should have never been taken off the line and they shouldn't have switched away from zoom
