I know there are some huge shoe collectors around and I am hoping that someone can help me out here.

My brother ended up winning a pair of Lebron shoes - he didn't think much of it and had actually given up on it when they didn't come in for six months or so - well the package came in yesterday and, from the sounds of it, is pretty spectacular.

Shoes are in a plexiglass case with a magnetic lid of some sort - top of box reads as follows:

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER.

ONLY FIVE OF THESE EXCLUSIVE VIP PACKAGES WERE MADE AND ONE OF THEM NOW BELONGS TO YOU.

CONCEIVED AND BUILT INSIDE NIKE'S HIGH TECH DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING FACILITY KNOWN AS THE INNOVATION LAB, THIS UNIQUE BOX WAS HAND CRAFTED TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PREMIUM CRAFTSMANSHIP. THE FUTURISTIC DESIGN OF THE INNOVATION AND PASSION OF BASKETBALL'S MOST DOMINANT PLAYER. RESULT IS WHAT YOU NOW HOLD IN YOUR HAND.

(Note: I am paraphrasing a bit as the photo I have is a bit cut off but you get the point here)

So - if I am understanding everything that he has told me and everything I can see in the photos. This was a contest he entered and won through, I believe, Eastbay Shoes online. There are five of these VIP Packages that were distributed with the LEBRON X+ Shoes. They come in a pretty spectacular box/display and I am assuming are limited to the five packages.

I know nothing about shoes but I know Lebron and I know collectors are nuts.

Does anyone have any information on what these could be worth or where could find out more about them? Any and all help is appreciated.
 
About a month late as I never really check this section. But I am an ex "sneaker head". I have no clue about the exact shoe you have or any lebron shoe for that matter, but I can point you in the right direction.

Go to solecollector.com and visit their forums. Create a thread in the basketball shoes section and I KNOW ppl will salivate over them. You will def get offers from the right ppl. Better yet there is a "price check section" somewhere on the forums as well and you can ask about the value there as well. I prefer you do the former so you get more recognition.
