Remember when LeBron samples were everywhere? From 2007 – 2014 unreleased, highly coveted and rare LeBron James Nikes popped up at secondary market shoe stores and on eBay for thousands of dollars. For shoes that never released there sure were a lot of them floating around… There was a ‘black market” of Nike samples operating …
