Finally got the SLHs today thanks to the homie Skip2MyLou23. And got the polo that ol buddy earlier copped. Super fresh. Think I'm done with Brons now.

Anyone else thinking the "Taxis" might be this year's version of the "Finals"? Last year was red based with yellow accents, so switching it to a yellow base with red accents would make sense.

Well LeBron can't pull that off on court with the heat uniform so, no.

Sneakermane, the lows fit true to size, as compared to the highs which fit smaller?

Maaaaan after seeing all the pics,  I just had to cop the Easters. Made em my first pair of Lebrons 

. Stayed true to size and wow possibly the comfiest shoe I've ever bought. After reading they had sold out on NDC twitter I was gonna go for the Son of Mars purp joints but then this AM saw FSRs everywhere so headed to house of hoops and robocopped with the quickness. They had some SLH on display and I woulda copped those but all they had were 8-9.5

. the minty green on the easters is too clean. Now I'm wondering why I haven't seen this done yet so I said let me try this out.  

 What a splash of color can do for some kicks. Sucks lows don't come w/2 pairs of laces. With all the SB Elite hype I was like Easters have almost the same colors so let me see how this turns out. Surprisingly laces @ HoH were exact match for Lebron SB laces although like most of y'all, I wish Lebron laces were sold seperately. I personally like them with the fuchsia laces over the grey ones.

Nice pics of the lows above. I personally prefer the cybers over the easters.

Correct. The lows fit perfect. Definitely true to size.

 

[ricfawse]

Got those Low Easters. Couldn't be happier. Still waiting on the Cybers to come out, but if I can't get them for half off at the Employee Store, then oh well.

Never clicked to me how close the color is to the SB IX

Haha thanks man. Yeah When I saw the SB IXs and then the Easters I was like wait, why not try it?  And then when I saw the laces I was like bingo! Also I got to use the $10 VIP discount coupon code i got in my email  in store so double whammy

like sticking your feet in a pile of pillows.

The pink laces look out of place. Horrible choice IMO.

My cannons are wounded! First time stepping out and stepping on the basketball court.

damn man, I'm sorry. She can't be saved. Put her out of her misery.

Run those to the ground now!!

 

[jada2001retro]

That's what happens to kicks that you ball in...

to putting them to use.

 

[indianabound]

That lace swap isn't bad.

Good job

   Got no other choice. Bought these shoes to ball in. Just never expected how fragile the toebox is. Never happened to my other shoes before.

Just a big eye sore. I wonder how many games before the toebox is just all white.

Nightwing did a 2nd performance teaser on them, he said he likes them but he doesnt feel like the price is justified. 

Another pic of the paint chipping off with play

looks like the carbon fiber is completely bent/cracking 

 


lmao at this elite junk

 

[akrobystia]

^ Wow. Do we know how many times he tested those elites on the court before taking that pic?

 

[bucknuteagle]

^^ if that's how they look after a normal sized person balls in them, can you imagine what's going to happen after lebron's freak of nature behemoth body plays in them for a game? Those elites will be on life support.

 

[truongxlong]

Totally not worth the money for these. But the south beach colorways are nice. I wouldnt ball in them. I would simply just wear them around casually. All sneakers are going to break and get damaged if you ball in them.

Lebron doesn't have to worry how the shoes will look after he plays in them. He probably uses a new pair every game, and he doesn't have to pay 250+tax for each pair.

Nike Factory Store Arundel Mills, MD had a FSR of the Kentuckys For $120 as of yesterday

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

cypher is complete 

 Those of you looking for laces check the HOH in your area that sold the SLH's.  Or, call the HOH in Northpark mall in Dallas, TX. Idk if they'll ship out laces but it's worth a shot
