got this from yahoo saying that Lebron has the #1 basketball shoe
Nine of the top-earning young celebrities are athletes. In third place is LeBron James, who brought in $48 million over the 12-month period. James' reputation may have taken a hit when he moved from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat, but it didn't hurt his earning power. His jersey was the NBA's top seller and he has the No. 1 basketball shoe on the market.



How? i dont think thats right at all, Kobes are cheaper and better and i see a lot and i mean A LOT more people wearing them.

Lebron's shoe has 3 versions, and are very popular just like kobe's shoe.

"Kobes are cheaper and better" -- you may think they're better, but obviously not everyone shares that belief.

I don't know the actual numbers but that is hard to believe. The Kobe 6 has more color-ways and is cheaper. A couple of the Kobe 6 GRs sold out. Not sure about the Lebrons GRs. I only have the cool grey Lebron 8, which sold out in my area. IMO the Kobe 6 is a better shoe style wise. Comfort wise, the Lebron 8 is the most comfortable shoe ever.

i believe that statement, i love kobe and hate lebron but lebron shoes look like you can wear them off the basketball court as well whereas kobe's that doesnt seem to be the case. thats my p.o.v

We are talking about sales, not units. For every 4 Lebrons sold at retail Kobe has to 5 at retail.
Saying that they are better is only an opinion.
You seeing more Kobes than Lebrons is not a big enough sample size. Just curious do you live in LA because Im on the east coast and Ive only seen a handful of Kobes worn but I see Lebrons daily.

I live in Chicago and everyone here has kobes. I easily see 2 to 1 kobes to lebrons.  Especially at the gym or parks.

im in Michigan. Lets just say i rarely see Lebrons. With the 8's ive seen a few, more than ive seen before but with the Kobe 6's its ridiculous how many people have these. Also been seeing a lot of little kids with them now as well.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Kobe's shoes are only sold at Niketowns and the Footlocker/Champs/Footaction/eastbay chain. LeBron's shoe is sold everywhere, even the Mom and Pop stores. There is no way that Kobe is going to outsell LeBron, with many more stores selling his shoes. Simply put, LeBron's shoes have broader appeal.

Seems like the Kobes have been more popular since the IV's released, while Lebrons were more popular before that.
