Currency conversions are tricky therefore we can never be sure about the actual price. Mainly because Nike sets difference MSPR’s for different locations. For example the Nike LeBron 9 which retails for $170 in the U.S. costs 160 Euros in Europe, which is no near the ~130 Euros after conversion. However, according to the graphic below the upcoming Nike LeBron X (back no roman numerals!) will come out in two versions… regular (price still under $200) and LeBron X+ with integrated Nike+ Basketball system. This special version is probably going to cost more than the previously announced Nike LeBron 9 P.S. Elite ($250). It’s going to be somewhere near $300 for a pair of basketball shoes! That’s crazy. According to Jason Petrie, LeBron James will lead Nike Basketball into the future starting with the Nike Hyperdunk 2012 this summer, but hopefully people won’t be trading cars for a pair of sneakers by then.

Get a girl
What if already does, just because he's a sneakerhead you assume he doesn't have a girl.
Southman or should say southbitch. keep talking like a foul mouth trash you are and you will get the back of my hand. Stop being an a-hole with your comments and respect the message boards.
Holy sh*t man, Nike is evolving fast with the LeBron line! As LeBron heads we get the best!! It's amazing!!! So excited!
wow...... $300 is steep for a pair of shoes! maybe a lot of people wont buy them and NIKE will lower the prices next year.
seriously, nike is screwing everybody. that makes me angry
Fuck that BULLSHIT! Nike is raping us for our money, I ain't gonna buy em. Goodluck Nike for risking your business with Lebron's shoes. They ain't gonna get 1 cent from me.
Nike is only releasing one LeBron X+ so the rest will cost much less, but I still don't like this trend!
