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

I like how the 12's fit but you do feel those fruity pebbles on teh bottom when you walk but the feel is much better than the pinky-toe-less 11's..

I don't see much difference between initial pics and final product other than minor color blocking and angles. Pics of other people wearing a shoe do nothing for my opinion of a shoe. To repeat what someone else said earlier, I buy what I like.

I'm sleeping on those infrared 6s for the Datas. Call me crazy but I've had enough 6s in the past and Id rather have a shoe with the newest technology that's actually comfortable to wear than a shoe I will have to go extremely out my way for that feels like I'm waking on cardboard.

key word "newest technology" thats how i feel whenever new sigs drop, i just gotta feel them and experience them on court.

That's how I feel. I own one pair of retro Jordans these days.

And there is really no new tech in the  LBJ12, zoom pods, posite, hyper fuse, fly wire all old news just wrapped up in a new package. But I got to say I'm loving my pair. My favorite since the 8.

Then you didn't see the initial pics.

The shoe wasn't even put together in the first pics we saw.

Then we saw something that didn't look like it had a midsole.

There was a point when we were seeing black Posite on the NSRL's

Not to mention a bunch of fakes being posted.

There were a lot of steps to get to where we are now.

The lightest are still the XIs I think, but it's probably like an ounce or two difference.

This site lists the weights of all the Lebron sigs

tried on a pair today...much better than the Xi as far as comfort.. Waiting on my iDs to come in...

Bought my 9 year a pair today... wondered why the 15.00 price hike in PS sizes..now i see why... they stepped it up and have a signature box... Going to get my 11 yr old a pair too... they raised the price by 25.00... a box shouldnt change the price that much

They really can't justify the smaller size prices to be honest. We have seen toddler, youth, gs pairs of shoes look good and not cost what we get smacked on for these.
Griffey max I and II are examples.

Yeah and the griffeys at least have an air bubble.. Well i guess they did finally use a translucent sole for PS size.. But still 90.00.....

Then I guess I should the initial pics I saw on about pg 3 which were assembled shoes very similar to what released.

and there is no zoom the pods are painted

I wouldn't expect nike to change the 6 to 23 on any pairs that have already gone through production. Possibly we'll see 23 or no number at all on the 2nd half of releases. It would require a lot of time and probably money to have to remove the sole and shank plate on thousands of pairs. It doesn't bother me one bit having the 6 on there because I don't think that's Nike's fault.

6 on the left and 6 on the right makes up 12 for the LeBron XII. Nike can run with that

 

[yotk13]

Not sure if posted but nba store had some small sizes left and they have 15% off with code: thursdaytnt

 

[richhomieflan]

don't get why people like datas so much, black with hits of rainbow colors is hella corny to me.

something a little kid would wear

 

[illmatic]

And I suppose a grown man would wear those highlighter colored Six Meridians. If anything the Datas are the most practical to wear out of the initial colorways 

 

[tigo0240]

I was going to say...Meridians look like a GS colorway

 

[glassankles]

these or the xx9 in performance wise?

xx9, not even in the same atmosphere. the xx8 and xx9 are court beasts, along with spawn anatomix
