Just crazy.

A song about producers taking advantage of consumerism, and the danger a simple pair of sneakers can pose to a child.

You just know that some kid, somewhere, is going to get mugged for a pair of these.

I'd rather pay $75 for a Hitler shoe.

That's like a mortgage payment

[Eja117]

Good lllllaaaaaawwwwwdddd that's a lotta money. How about I give you a dime and you just give me the laces? No wait. What on Earth would I do with Lebron laces? Never mind

[angryguy77]

Do these come with the same ref mind-control chip that LeRoid has?

[jbaerg]

The price of these shoes is as stupid as Lebron.

[Donoghus]

Probably only a matter of time before some unfortunate kid gets serious hurt/killed over a pair of these shoes.

"How can a poor working mother with three boys buy Nikes or Reeboks that cost $120?...She can't. So kids steal these shoes from stores and from other kids. Sometimes they kill for them." -Hakeem Olajuwon

[fairweatherfan]

They're saying the Nike+ version (the one described as $315) will actually be around $290, and the shoe-only set $180.

Still a hell of a lot more than I'd pay for sneakers.

[Timdawgg]

Anyone that buys them is getting mugged. $300 + for Shoes that cost less than $5 to make...YUCK!

[Sketch5]

Who the heck needs shoes that sensors crap you do? And even for the striped down versions 190.00? Man I don't like paying 60.00 for shoes that I wear all the time.

[Neurotic Guy]

I'd rather buy 6 pairs of Chuck Taylors.
