It's A Shoe.....Relaced!

   No, they're not your run of the mill running shoes. Nike has fired the latest shot in the Sneaker Wars, unveiling the Lebron (James)-X. Unlike the $220 dollar "special edition" glow in the dark shoe they came out with for the NBA All-Star Game, these new ones will go for, hang on to your wallet, $315 dollars.
   Now, to be fair, these don't have a day-glow orange shackle and chain like the ill fated Adidas's "Shackle Shoe" which was pulled after complaints that they evoked memories of slavery and prison chain-gangs. What they do have is electronic monitors to track your workouts. That's a laugh, since the only workout the majority of the people who'll likely buy these gets is reaching for the Doritos. Or another beer.
   These are nearly twice as expensive as the last shoe, the Lebron-9, that came out. Part of the reason for the high price is cost of materials and labour. I guess the people in those Asian sweat shops making them needed a pay raise of 3 cents per day.
   I still think a trip to Wally's World is a better bargain. You'll spend maybe 80 bucks, leaving 235 for Doritos and beer.
   'Nuff said.
