Nike Basketball has once again created a commemorative Championship Shoes 2-Pack in order to celebrate LeBron James’ second NBA title. Unfortunately, same as last year, it will be nearly impossible to get a pair as an estimate of 600-700 pairs are expected to be released across the States and in Asia. It’s about 10 times more than the LEBRON 9 Finals and MVP 2-Pack from a year ago, but it’s still being mightily underestimated compared to the actual demand. It’s a great day for LeBron / Miami fans and I’m not trying to be salty here, but I’m sure I speak for everybody when I say Nike is not treating us right here… again. The best comparison is of course Kobe Bryant, who got all of his Finals / Championship shoes released to public during the two consecutive championships back in 2009 and 2010. According to Nike’s press release the two shoes will be sold in a pack along with the hats and will be available in very limited quantities. Let us know how you feel about Nike’s launch policy for LeBron’s Championship shoes.

Lebron fans getting screwed by Nike yet again. They are creating a lot of resentment with his products. Not good.
Fuck Nike...The fan is louder than the re-seller...
These types of shoes should release online only... and there should be an unannounced quiz you have to complete before you're able to add them to your cart. Simple questions about LeBron that any legitimate fan would know. Instantly weed out the hypebeasts, resellers. and haters who couldnt tell you how many years he spent in Cleveland, or what high school he played at. By time they googled the answers all his fans would have placed their orders. One can only dream
fu** policy the nike
It doesn't matter how many they release, the resellers will still screw everyone on ebay. There were an estimated 500 pairs of MVP X's released and those still sold for the same price as the championship pack did last season. This pack will have a $3000+ resale price and that's garbage.
Why would lebron not want ALL his fans to rock these. If he really wanted to he could tell Nike to make more. It sucks its all about the $$$$$$$! Not the fans who get them the $$$$ in the first place! I BOO this release
