pissed about what? he got paid already. he didn't create the shoe, probably had no input at all. He should have nothing to say.

I think maybe because it's his name they are using. And it's a shoe they are expecting him to wear and play at a high level with.

Because its your name on the shoe and if its defective how does that represent you?

Maybe, but you are talking apples to oranges in a way. The XI had a successful launch, with a great colorway, as planned in early October, and started off fine on Court. He wore them opening night (all game) and attempted to wear Aways a few times after that, and could be seen sporadically wearing them. They never had a "recall" or an issue with the production of the XI. The problem with the XI was a "LeBron's jacked up feet and orthotic" problem (could argue a design problem for him specifically), not a defect with the shoe itself. Here the XII hasn't even hit launch date, and we have no idea really how long before they hit shelves. If they don't hit shelves until let's say December....a lot of people could pass because basketball season is already in effect. I'm not talking sneakerheads, just the people who play some sort of competitive basketball, which usually starts late October, early November. Last year at that time they had 2 to 3 colorways of LeBron XI's to choose from that had released before the seasons began. Obviously I don't know for a fact, but it could dent sales to some degree. Plus you can't sell a shoe that hasn't released. But on the other hand the XII could be amazing and sell really well, we'll see.

Sorry for not being shoe related but I know some people in here were looking... NBAstore and the Cavs team shop have the red swingman jersey available right now. Probably should be quick on the trigger if you are wanting one, although I'm sure they made a ton.

I think the issue is with the eyelets not being glued properly, or maybe they actually will go back and change the 6 to 23. LRJ actually makes sense since his middle name is Raymone, so those are his actual initials. Some of his Lebron III PEs had LRJ stitched in too.

Naw bro, I get that they're all orange kicks but I wouldn't even mention those with either of its predecessors
This
The colors just seem to clash and the shoe just doesn't flow with the grey and neon on the orange base
