The new $315 LeBron X would be Nike’s most expensive shoe ever, and will include motion sensors to measure your vertical jump, according to The Wall Street Journal. Unveiled by NBA superstar LeBron James during the 2012 Olympic gold medal basketball game between the United States and Spain, it will be available this fall. Nike products have seen an increase in price by up to 10-percent. Perhaps a pair of Armani shoes is a better investment.

Here’s a feel good story for you. Japanese sprinter Maya Nakanishi lost her right leg below the knee in a workplace accident at the age of 21, then became a sprinter with her prosthetic leg. Nakanishi appears in a calendar featuring her posing semi-nude with her prosthetic leg to help finance her training and trip to the London Paralympic Games. Are you ready for London 2012?
