The LeBron 15 Low — originally $150 — are on sale for $120. The high-top LeBron 15’s — originally $185 — are on sale for $147.  If you’re looking to spend even less on a pair of LeBron’s, however, his Soldier XI SFG model is priced at $83 (originally $140). Prices may vary depending on color and size.
