They're grippy like a trainer.

 

[quincy powell]

Mmmmmm

I like the look of the sole on a finished shoe like the trainer up there. From the side view sample pic the midsole looks thin again, wish it was thicker like the X's tho. I do like how the swoosh area will be similar to the IX's and the use of the foam/armor posite being on the shoe but not in areas that have to break in

Not sure if these are supposed to be LBJ12 lows, but might give us a good idea how the sole looks on-shoe

Nike zoom hyper cross is what I've been seeing them called

Looks like more than one shoe will have this cushion set up next year

Doesn't have the "LBJ" crown symbol on the sole, so these are probably just a runner using that sole technology, but good find.  These hexa-pods must be Nike's new bag.

nike zoom hypercross sample 

Another look at some interesting upcoming Nike footwear falls on our laps this Memorial Day weekend, and it’s called the Nike Zoom Hypercross. Not much is known about this new-age design, although the outsole of the sneaker (similar to that Nike LeBron 12 sample that’s been floating around) provides some insight into the next stage of Nike’s Free evolution. Hexagonal pods (Reebok Hexalite, anyone?) gives multi-directional advantages fit for all-purpose Training, while the upper design, which features a seamless construction with ventilation at the midfoot and Flywire, offers a lightweight total package. We’ll have more updates for you regarding this interesting release so stay tuned for more updates and let us know what you think. sneakernews.com

I think I found my next non-hoop gym shoe

the 12's or the runners

Lol the trainers for weights/cardio. I hate hitting the treadmill in hoop shoes. For some reason they instantly get heavier on a treadmill plus I don't wanna burn through the sole.

I knew what you mean just rustling your jimmies besides it almost seems like those shoes have taken over the thread, well atleast we can see most of the shoe in a clear pic and it's fully constructed

What is the reasoning for a bunch of these clowns people saying "ohhh...obvious that LeBron won't be wearing these on court next year"... "back to the soldiers again"...

 

[bobthemilkman]

must be comfortable

because people have nothing else to talk about until we see the whole shoe and them on his feet

 

[currensy]

Interesting.

 

[eightfivefresh]

 
they look pretty interesting

if you look back at the history of lebrons sig the always take after not the most recent sig but second most recent sig

so for example

8=10

9=11

10=12

as in the shoes take after that design and goes from there

This is TRUE and there's No Coincidence at all.

Primary Reason for this is the fact that Design/Development starts ATLEAST 18 Months before Release Date.

Obviously each sneaker is looked upon to be an evolution of the previous sneaker, but many times development takes place while the 2nd most recent signature is in its Prime, so during that process, they're getting the most feedback from the Player & customers on THAT sneaker rather than the one that has yet to release.

The Lebron XIII (13) has been in development since earlier this year. The current signature is the XI and the XII has yet to release. It's easy to see how often design cues are taken from the signature sneaker before the current one.

Think about how much the X's resembled the 8's... at the time they began development on the X's, it was right around the time that the 8's became Lebron's Most Popular Sneaker to Date... they had just came down from their South Beach 8 "High." The 9's began development before Lebron even had his "Decision" to go to Miami...so that's why there's not much of an Evolution to the 8's with that signature. When people look back 10 years from now, it'll look like the X's and 9's should've been swapped in the series. This holds true with the KD 4, 5, and 6, as well.

 

[blakmn89]

Interesting. Can't wait to see final design & looks like toe box area into soo narrow

 

[blastercombo]

The runners > the lebrons

 

[darren502]

Are those facts or just speculation? Because I just don't see it based on the most current tech always goes into lebrons shoes.

 

[lynchpin33]

So it looks like the Zoom soldiers are going to be worn on court by lebron more next year than his Signature shoe again.

Wonder what the people in power would think this happens two years in a row/??

Probably that it's great if he's bringing more attention to the economical while people are still buying and IDing the signature model.

Right.

If sales aren't hurting on the main models why would Nike care?

I would to see a crown jewel type color on a XII.

Hopefully Nike throws some old CWs on the the XII but come with more originals.

only CW from the X i would like to see on the XII would be (Bringing this up because the XI had a lot of 9 colors re-invented.)

1.) Crown Jewel.

2.) Prism

3.)Re-Entry

4.) Lava

i think for 2 you should of put in red suede.

i think the lebron XII can really support ext a lot better then the XI simliar to the way the Lebron X were able to.

another colorway i would like them to revisit is some of the samples like the black suede pe that never released, they were fire
