Nah.

The great AJ shoes are head and shoulders above the others. I'm not sure I'd put the LBJ 8 & 9 on par with the Foamposite 1.


LBJ IVs are one of the best of the LBJ line, but they will not be very well received as a retro unless they were extremely rare.

I've seen more people across the spectrum (men, women, and children) wearing KD's than I've seen wear Bron's.:manny:

8 and 9 are the only one's I like. Everything else is meh to trash. His recent shoes are too clunky and gaudy

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.
Kobe line is trash

Yeah, it's true if we are talking about an iconic silhouette. Lebron's most "iconic" CW's have been limited edition sneakers. So the question becomes is it the hype/limited # or the actual sneaker?

LeBron 8,9, 10 and 12 were straight piff but they've fell of since. His best shoes came when he was in South Beach
