Ed Norris: LeBron's $315 Sneakers?

We discussed on the Norris & Davis Show the Nike LeBron X basketball shoes that when released in 2013 will retail for approximately $315.

I must admit that at first I was appalled at the price tag and thought " how ridiculous can we get? Then I went through a mental inventory of what I own and how much I've paid for completely unnecessary items. Let's see...fountain pens for more money than I'm willing to reveal, an autographed Mike Alstott helmet, and more leather motorcycle jackets than anyone should own.

So, if you'll allow me to give myself an early Shovel of Wisdom I'm giving it to myself for giving an opinion before assessing my own possessions. Now that I have, I realize if people want it charge what you wish.

I'm a loyal Under Armour fan but in this one instance....Nike, I'm sorry.
