The Official Nike LeBron XII Thread- "July 4th/USA" & "King's Cloak/Red Paisley" 06/27/15

[aiya]

Tried on the HOL today in my TTS 11.5 and also a 11 just to see. The 11 fit fine but was a little snug width wise. The 11.5 was PERFECT! No discomfort whatsoever. Definitely go TTS on the XII.

HoL is my favorite color. Definitely worth picking up with the 20% off if they perform well for me for hoops. I'm excited to try them out this week...

 

[laces1983]

Yea, I have yet to see them in person

Who knows, maybe once I check them out I'll do a full "TURN" and cop :\

then the same will happen with the meridians..lol

 

[barbarianbob]

Nah fam, I actually hate the Meridians

I actually kind of like the HoaL's just not that much to cop right now :\

Maybe later after they've restocked 5 times

Around the time cats start throwing them away for next to nothing on eBay

Ahh XIs part deux ... i'm actually flourishing on the bay. Maybe that's the reason I've been so frugal towards new releases lately

When I go to the city tomorrow, i'll see if I can resist in person (walking with my champs birthday coupon just in case

)

On feet with denim please

And joggers and fleece pants if you can. But I got a cart built over at hollister. Hmmmm decisions decisions

Joggers, joggers and more joggers

It's gotten to the point where a fresh pair of kicks doesn't even look right unless you rock them with joggers

Or at least that's what most think

They show off the shoes well, simple comfortable pants that you dont need to roll and are part of the current fashion trend.

Not every shoe looks good with them though, I don't like how my Aj1LMs look with them.

Some people just cannot pull them off though. I am part of that group of people. I have had people ask me why I don't wear joggers with my shoes. I have to remind them to look at me and then they get it.

Looking like a Hell's Angel member doesn't lend to the jogger lifestyle too well...

Keyword right there. And like most trends in fashion, they won't last long

I noticed they went back to some regular cheap thin insole on the 12's... has anyone ever thought about or has tried putting the 11 insole in the newer 12 model. Curious how they would feel with the lunarlon/zoom insole from the 11 model stacked on the hex zoom units.

They really didn't go "back" to anything. That insole is standard fare for most of what Nike puts out. Look at your X's or 9's from the Bron line. Same thing.

The insole in the XI WAS the cushion. There was no real midsole to speak of, just the Lunar with the bottom loaded zoom. Now the Zoom is actually in the sole and we have a regular insole/misole setup in the 12.

If you tried to put the XI insole in the 12, you'd end up feeling like Bron did with the XI, no damn room for your feet. You would eat up all the available space putting that thick *** thing in there.

Exactly...too many other things to worry about than what "trends" are currently popular. I'ma just do me!

i could probably pull them off, but just havent bought any yet.. regular sweats seems to work just fine

With the lacing system, based on comments in the thread, it's gonna be a ***** to lace over the lace cover. Is the lace cover removable?

No, it's not.

But IMO, the lacing issue is a bit overblown. It takes a little getting used to because of the material on the upper & how much of the lace actually sits underneath/inside the shoe.

Furthermore, with my pair at least, there is only one hole that goes into the shoe that needs adjusting. The others don't even need to be touched.

 

[jbc908]

you really can't do much with lacing due to the shoe being one piece

 

[andfattoo]

Tried a pair on today and the shoes are on point for the most part. The fit is really good and the cushioning is definitely there (forefoot cushioning wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be). I am just hoping i can tie them a bit tighter, but im assuming that will happen when you break them in. I am definitely IDing these though.

For some reason I imagined you looking like Action Bronson after that comment

Not that there's anything wrong with that or something, Bronson's that bull

I haven't been able to fit into hollister/A&F stuff since I was in high school

Even back then, their clothing was not tall-people friendly.

They got all sizes from extra small to extra medium


Not for me even if they had clothes that fit me, its all good

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

nvm

 

[cr8tivity]

Somebody has any information on the release date of the Lebron 12 NSRL ?

Lol I'm 5'10 and 3 quarters so I'm little past girlfriend height [emoji]128588[/emoji].
Also to address the trendy thing. I'm not that guy but for 35 bucks for "errands" pants is a no brainer. It's all about comfort. Now if my request was too much or too trendy then can I get slim straight or relax fit denim with the shoe pictures. Hate to go blow 185 to 215 to take them right back. No to mention the 30 minute commute help us out guys we wanna join the party

 

[darren502]

All this talk about pants. SMH

got to see HOL in person today finally. I must say they look even better in person. I like the materials a lot.

Didn't try on because I don't plan on buying......

Yet. Lol. Team discount for these
