To Clarify...


I know its been seen today everywhere from the Wall Street Journal to Fox News that the upcoming tenth edition of the Lebron James signature line of sneakers will retail for $315...

To clarify, the $315 tag will be for the Nike + version of the Lebron X.  The regular, general release Nike Lebron X will run around $180.

Nike + was originated to be a running tool, with one sensor acting as a pedometer and measuring time/distance.  Now, the Lebron X will feature four pressure sensors in the heel, toe, medial side and lateral side.  These sensors use Bluetooth technology to measure performance like its predecessor did for running.


Gimmicky?  A bit. Unclear technology?  Foggy at best.  But definitely buzzworthy.  Non-sneaker folks are talking about this shoe today. folks will shell out the additional $135 just to say they did.  Trust.
