Remember everyone, the Elites always give a hint as to what will be in the next shoe. The 11 Elites had the hex on the outsole.

Outside of adding to the cost of the shoe, why didn't the general release shoes have air in the 6 pods? Looks like the same bottom to me...

What did the 9 hint for the 10 and the 10 for the 11?
Not being smart.... Just curious since I'm not sure.

im officially on board with my first lebron 12. Those team elites are flames. Its a shame it took me this long. Even at 192 it'll be pricey but they are dope.

An elite pair in a straight forward Cavs colorway would be an insta-cop.

And as far as the 'Fruity Pebbles' GS pair go, hate the fact that Nike disgraces every special release. The Fruity Pebble 4's were iconic. Now they're just a staple in every GS line (foams, XI, XII)

No guessing what the next shoe will look like, Lebrons have done a good job of switching up styles.

I'm pretty surprised we didn't see one right off the jump. Would've been nice.

I was gonna say the same thing. I see nothing in common from 1 shoe to the next.

If lebron wins another chip, the pack could have a lot of potential

Good point. With the KD 6 elites, the engineered mesh was used on the 7's so maybe they're just starting to do it.

Nike saved my money for me this year on the brons. Stopped wanting the wheats and elites all suck (IMO) but just like the rest of you my money will still be gone while picking up past models (XI & KD7). Seriously looks like they have a bunch of stuff missing and it looks like fake plastic used for the cage, good luck to all those that want them though, hopefully they will go straight to discount for yall

I was thinking.... We could tell what materials nike will use on the next by checking out the hyper lines.
Like how this years are similar material to the hyperrevs from last year and the older Lebrons used to use similar material that the hyperdunks and hyperfuse had the year before.

Fingers crossed Elites hit iD with some decent color options. Been over actual releases as far as day 1 purchases. If they hit outlets and are a decent price I'll grab them. Really just want to get into doing 1 of 1 iD's at this point. Not gonna play Nike's elaborate marketing game.
Let's not pretend the sample pair elite originally shown looks like the release pair. It's visually different in many aspects. The sample pair looks like exactly that, a sample. The release pair is obviously refined and tuned nicely. No turns necessary.

Only problem is, if the Elites hit iD, we are looking at $300 plus.
In which case, you know they will put out amazing options.

For that price. It better not be like the current 12 iD which is now garbage.
