Good thing sweatshop workers are cheap

Lebron's got some new shoes (http://espn.go.com/nba/news/2003/0521/1557489.html?partnersite=espn)

(I hope the URL thing works)

That's crazy, I suppose they have some figures that show that they will sell alot of shoes with him aboard, but, I just don't see it.

Very risky move by Nike...

I'm gonna be the first kid on the block to have a pair of 'Brons...

Crap, I forgot, I'm not twelve anymore. Nevermind...

[TroyF]

Not really that big of a risk. His name recognition alone will sell shoes for a couple of years.

NIKE has been planning for this day a LONG time. I'm sure they looked at all of the figures before they made the move.

A pair of 'brons that cost $100.00 made by little Chan in Hong Kong who works for probably $0.01 and a shantyhouse outside of Qu Jiang (I don't know, I'm making these places up) . One hell of a minimum wage set by the government.

[JeeberD]

You made up Hong Kong? Man, you had me fooled, I thought it was real...

[Jets80]

If I could get some Qu Jiang workers for my company I would surely turn a profit.

I almost kind of want him to fail just so Nike will be screwed outta some cash. Not that it will hurt them that much, but it'll make them and others more hesitant about giving money for people who are unproven

That being said, I think James will be a star
