Sneakerheads who are into the hype or wear what the rap game reps are wearing LeBron's (more often than not). I've worn both, and LeBron's shoes are like bricks on the court. Too heavy. Kobe's have always been more concentrated on performance. 

Some of these comments....

Hilarious!

Just judging based on what my eyes have seen out here in Cali. The majority of people who can actually play vs. those who just want a run out... are wearing Kobe's. Don't judge me on my avy, I've owned LeBron's too. Didn't know I was buying Timberlands though.

co-sign this like i said earlier in the thread. all the more serious ballers i know/see are wearing Kobes.

Comparing the two above, I guess you guys are right about Kobe in Asia. In NYC, the turnout wasn't that big, and it was advertised, after a Knick game no less.

[kobeoverbron]

yeah, basketball conscious buyers buy kobe in general at least here.
at the same time, fans are buying shoes like there won't be a new one
next season.
also see old peeps wearing kobes. I saw a 60+ granpa wearing the
glass blue 6s (for real) one time. should've snapped a pic. I see kids
wearing huraches to school. But to be fair, I also see kids wearing
brons and older guys too. Just not as much. Maybe 8:1 ratio here in
PI.

I'm sure cali is an exception. But my dude in chi plays with most of the guys
wearing Kobe...

LeBron sells no doubt... But for nike to have kobe lead other products too?
Why didn't they have LeBron launch the hyperdunk?

That is because it would have been a risk to have LeBron in that shoe, then having something happen to him while playing in a shoe, one that is not built for his size and power, that is why. Even Kobe had to have the last and outsole changed on his personal Hyperdunks, but I am sure that you know that. 

Here on the East Coast USA, I am quite sure that we have some serious ballers as well. There are pics of people playing at West 4th Street, Rucker, King Towers, all over the 'net, as there is even a vid' in the sports and training section of some Niketalkers playing at LaGuardia, and guess what?

No Kobe's, but there are LeBrons all over.

For me, Kobes. Nice price point( even better on an military/employee disc ), comfy, and universal wear ( casual and athletic).

we need someone with info from Nike on sales to help end this discussion but i can put $10 that Kobe has better sales with his shoes and has probbly been beating Lebron since the IVs dropped.

After wearing Kobe's the LB 8v2 feels like a snowboard boot.

They are mad comfy though, but it didn't stop me from returning the cool greys.
