LeBron James's Watch the Throne Shoes Are Hideous, $300 Pieces of Shit for Your Feet

LeBron tweeted a picture of his own feet. Fucking ugly.

The rich and famous don't really dress better than the rest of us. They just get away with looking ridiculous 'cause their shit's gaudier, flashier, and way more fucking expensive.

Take Kanye's getup the other night at his and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne gig in Miami. Dude was wearing a black leather pleated skirt over a pair of black leather skinny jeans, topped off with an absurdly oversized t-shirt of his own damn face. The whole shebang probably cost $10,000. But he still looked like a 13-year-old goth girl getting ready to crawl into her coffin for nighty-nights.

Or take NBA star and choke artist Lebron James's new special-edition Watch the Throne x Nike sneakers. Ostensibly, these things are shoes. But let's just cut the bullshit and call 'em hideous, $300 pieces of shit for your feet.

The world was introduced to LeBron's ridiculous kicks on Tuesday, October 15, at 9:46 p.m. when he tweeted a photo of his own size-15 feet stuffed into these fashion disasters, saying, "At the WTT concert with the WTT 9's on! Wow!! #OnlyRight"

He again celebrated this momentous occasion at 11:02 p.m., tweeting, "The WTT 9's has invaded the American Airlines Arena @kanyewest @S_C_ #epicmoment"

Thankfully, these Watch the Throne LeBron 9s (standard black body pimped out with pizza puke-colored laces, grandma-jacket-on-acid lining, and a stupid, spiky gold Watch the Throne brooch) aren't assigned for mass production in Nike's sweat shops anytime soon.

So LeBron's got 'em, Jay-Z's getting ready to regift his pair, and Kanye's probably rockin' them in a coffin right now.

Let's keep it that way ... The rest of us can live without blowing $300 (or more) on these pieces of shit for your feet.

Can we have a opinion on kicks from someone that matters? An actual sneakerhead perhaps? Not some douche who idea of cool are"no fills" versions of chuck taylors. A what up with all the anger in the read, did Lebron fuck your wife or did she get gang banged by all three? Take your ritalin... you musty have missed a dose, smh.

The shoes are sick... Whoever wrote this post should go play in traffic. You're talking about 3 of the most powerful names in entertainment industry.

Talk about buying shit based on the people wearing them as opposed to what looks good.. lmao youre pathetic. this is why many talentless people in the world make so much off of idiots that blindly follow and purchase things because celebrities wear them.. idiots like you are the reason sponsors pay so much

Actually, the reason people make a big deal out of shoes like this is because, in case you haven't noticed, shoes like this don't come out every day, and while I don't like this particular colorway, it's still nice to have some variation in shoes instead of regular, boring one colorway shoes. Stop being ignorant. It has nothing to do with celebrities.
