Quote:The hype has spilled from TV talk shows into Web sites, including e-Bay, where 54 of the embargoed $110 pairs are selling and bids approachd $200. In November, when Portland's Niketown offered a limited edition of the shoe, the sneaker sold in 18 minutes, leaving a line of teens still waiting outside.
What's the appeal? \"Obviously, it's LeBron,\" 15-year-old Peter Koehler explained. \"People will buy Jordan even if they don't like the way it looks -- because it's Jordan.\"
