Man they look like two different shoes to me now
thought they were your standard bred cw. Now they look orange. Would be a game time decision; gotta see them in person.

So I have a legitimate question that not only relates to just Lebron XII's but almost all new model signatures. Why is it that these sit predominately more than retro sneakers when you could argue that the new sneakers are better than these re-re-re retros of today. I see everyone trying to get ebates, discounts and such left and right but then let a retro sneaker drop and people won't thnk twice about dropping retail plus. I personally like the Lebron XII as much as I like the VIII and I love these new models it's a shame to see them not get as much shine as retro kicks do. BTW "Trillion dollar man's" are fuego

LeBron 12s are fire. Top 3 of the line behind 2 and AZG IMO. Folks buy retro Js because of hype. Period end of story. The real MJ fans/collectors been had their pairs. All hype now.

I do but I've got hundreds. Bought 30 pairs in 14 about 8K worth all still DS (Kobe Elite resell hurt). Backlog of kicks is brutal. Those pairs you replace them with are downgraded versions at a higher price. I'm fortunate enough to not beat anything to the point of replacement. I won't wear anything more than twice a year anyway. Lucky me I guess.
Last J I got was the Toro 4, before that was the Cardinal 7 1st retro. JB doesn't get any of my cash. I will however buy a remastered black/silver 5 if done decent with no 23 on the side. My favorite AJ. Not holding my breath though. Remaster shapes all messed up still.

It's none of my concern of what a man will spend his money on. Besides retro shoes are a sure bet. With the shameless bot promotion and "in your face" reselling kids coming up couldn't care less about the new edition of the spaceman boot.
But I like the shoe [emoji]128521[/emoji]

..... Because most retros don't cost 250 dollars... Or in my case, $165.

They are overrated to be honest - they look nice in photos but aren't comfortable to wear and the colour is tricky to rock. The stiff, reflective upper creases real bad and the blue sole turns a greenish yellow after a few wears.
If you have to get a pair of VIIs - get the 'Christmas/Birthday' pair. By far the best in terms of comfort and durability.

How long has it been since after 8 CWs of a new sig, all are still available in every size? For discount no less.

point the way to the discounts because like someone said it looks like this month is going to be slow which means a good time to pick up past releases....and HOL's look to be somewhat drying up online...except for ndc!

Not long at all. This is how it used to be until very recently. Nike has mass produced these so. Nothing to complain about.

Has to be at least 4 years. 8s, 9s, and 10s definitely had some instant sellout initial colorways albeit they were limited. Even the 11s had a couple colors from the first wave that sold out

Do you really believe that? Not to say this isn't one of the most mass produced basketball shoes but just like the Jordan XX9, I feel like interest may or may not be lukewarm.

I think it's a combination of interest dropping a tad
and production numbers going up a ton.
I think most have dropped their "gotta have em all" mentality even when it comes to the limited stuff.
There are just too many releases for anyone to keep up with.
Honestly I would love for it to go back to GRs being marked down under $90 on a regular basis in result of Nike flooding the market with too many "special releases".
