The Lebron 13s were a huge failure, in terms of sales though. Outlets are literally flooded with them and I've seen pairs go for as low as $70-$80 during sales (from $200 MSRP).

I don't think there is anything Nike can do to save the 13 but a Kyrie 2/Zoom Soldier 10 Champ Pack would make a lot of sense.

since sales are low, don't you think it's smart to capitalize on the Finals/Championship hype by putting a poor selling sneaker and making it a Limited Edition thing to spark sales and interest. Lebron models have been trash since the 11's. But Nike made sure to do some limited/theme crap to spike sales, which did help (2k gimmick, making the What The Series GR because the public craved that elusive theme, etc.)

Nike released a 2008 Kobe champ pack after the Lakers lost the finals to the Celtics?? Savage.

my bad on that. I was thinking the 08 Olympics. Nike released a Oly/Champ shoe for Kobe the following year called "Beijing 2 Finals", where Kobe came back from getting an Olympic Gold right into the following NBA season and winning a ring.

Yea I did order it from FTL, wasn't terribly thrilled about them charging for shipping though. 

Now I notice it says it ships free from FTL. They definitely charged me shipping on it when I ordered it the other night though.

I don't think any of that helped the Lebron 11 given that, even almost 2 years since it's debut, you can still get DS pairs in most cws for well under retail. The 2ks were very limited but even resale on those isn't too bad (when compared to Jordans or even some Kobes that are equally as limited).

Now factor in the fact that the 13s were an even bigger bust than the 11s and I honestly don't think there is ANYTHING Nike can do to save this model. The Zoom Soldier 10, on the other hand, is a completely different story and will now play a significant part in Lebron's history.

Anyone know where I can cop the Inferno Sz 9 online? 

 

[glassankles]

Will nike release the game 5 pair (red and yellow bottom)?

They really should as well as the gold midsole/strap PE, but judging by past events, they probably won't lol.

 

[superstarlord]

Watch them just give Kyrie that tshirt and nothing else. I feel like they should have announced something to capitalize on the hype right now.

Even Nike is saying, "just order the close-enough iD verson"

If iD just added the gold midsole then I'd be satisfied, but I don't even expect that... saw an idea earlier on here saying to release a Kyrie PE and the soldier 10 in a champ pack. That's probably their best bet, but like I said, low expectations...

 

[glassankles]

is there anyway we could id the red/yellow bottom pair?

No, they'd need to add gradient outsole. Only solid colors or translucent.

resale isn't bad because basketball resale died in general. At first they were going for a rack

Lebron wore Soldier 10s during the finals? I didn't even know they were out.

I think I'm going to order these and change the sole to midsole to white with gold speckles.View media item 2075981

what if they release the actual pair in the future? lol

 

[superstarlord]

Its a nice combination as a stand alone iD, but personally I feel like its gotta be PE Finals version or nothing at this point, especially for how well he played, Nike needs to do something special.

 

[superstarlord]

could always return them

 

[goat4521]

Considering there is an 8 week wait on Kyrie ID's now I don't think it would be a problem cancelling lol

 

[goat4521]

The PE would be nice though.

[jorgefm]

So the kyrie 2 champ pack is that id?

 

[goat4521]

Yeah I know. I don't think we will get that option.
