Closest ones are the South Beach 9s, but yeah, I don't really remember too many of his shoes:patrice:
whole shoe "game" changed after the thirst for those elevated after they released. I got 2 pair the day they dropped w/ ease....then a week later folks offering $600 in cash while I'm walking in the mall...I was like :gucci:.....after that release it became harder to get good releases....everybody was a "shoe" head

If they started retroing Lebrons, they would sell. Some of y'all are hella young and don't remember the 90's when retro J's almost never dropped and they usually sold poorly when they did drop. The 3's and 1's were re-released in the 90's in 94'. People wore the 3's when they re-released, but there was so much heat coming out back in the 90's that the retro's sat on shelves because buying a shoe that dropped only six years ago didn't make sense back then. People wanted the latest and greatest in shoes back in the 90's. Retro J's didn't really start popping like that until the early 2000's. When the 99' Cement 4's re-released, it was mostly a niche sneakerhead market buying them up. Everyone and their mother wearing retro J's didn't really start until about 2008 when they started re-releasing the XI every Christmas. In 2007, you could go into any sneaker spot and buy the Fire Red 3's or the Aqua 8's for retail because they sat on shelves for months. Things have come full circle again because the Maroon 6's and the True Blue 3's sat on shelves while all the garbage funny colorway 3's, 4's and 5's sold out instantly only a few years ago.

This shoe kick started an entire era.



A lot of other stuff yall posting aren't iconic shoes in the slightest. LBJ's line peaked at the X and has been downhill ever since.

My personal favorites and the only LBJs I own.

Kobe's line is better.


That last pic looks like a rock climbing wall straight :trash:
