The magnitude of LeBron James‘ greatness is a debate that will endure for many years to come. In terms of sneakers over the past decade, there is no denying that the Nike LeBron line has progressed by leaps and bounds in more than one category. Multiple materials, new technology, playoff editions, and many other factors have made the signature series one for the ages. In only 10 years, the LeBron line has become one of the most popular of all time, and there is plenty more to come. At 28-years-old, King James could possibly have 10 more years left in his basketball career, but we decided to foreshadow a bit and discuss?What Might Be Said About the LeBron Line in 10 Years. Let us know your thoughts.
The LeBron Series Revived Nike Basketball Signature Lines
Jordan signature shoes had transitioned to being under Jordan Brand by the 1996-97 season. The popular Penny line had also seen the best days come and go by the mid to late ’90s. Nike had a stable of athletes that they endorsed, and some, such as Vince Carter, had signature lines in the early 2000s that were not highly successful. At the time, team bank Nike Basketball sneakers were more prevalent. However, Nike signed James to a seven-year $93 million contract in May 2003. The LeBron line included playoff edition spinoffs, low cut versions, a Zoom Soldier series, and has crossed over to the lifestyle/off-court arena without wavering in popularity. One could argue that the LeBron’s is the most consistently successful Nike Basketball signature line to date.
