I swear that it's just an odd coincidence that I always seem to be online to catch at least one person pic quoting an entire photo book
Let's say that my spidey senses were tingling though

I'm Sure they will. But they will probably add some funky accent color and screw it all up.

Looks like he wore them the entire game, that's a good sign comfort wise.

Actions shots are making me more a fan of the shoe. However, they're making me less a fan of that color.

I'm very interested to try these on...whenever that may be.
The X was probably my favorite except that it was a half-size too short, and there's no 14.5. I've heard comparisons between the X and XII and that the XII's sizing was on point, so I'm hopeful.

There is a LeBron 12 Lifestyle thread?
nah bruh just messing with you, that was an old joke from the Lebron XI thread Lifestyles do look pretty good this time around though, probably the best we've ever seen IMO
Bron definitely looks comfortable in the XII's, I just can't wait for the PE's to rustlin jimmies though
And for some reason I think the EXT's are gonna be epic on this model
I really see a lot of potential for different materials being used on that upper

Did anyone else notice how Lebron's pair is different from the retail version? No icy outsole

Great pic as always but these really do nothing for me, especially casually.

look closer bruh. you can see the pods and the LJ logo in the rear zoom bag. its the same, maybe the lighting makes them look like regular clear and not the icy blue clear.

Lighting seems off. Because they looked real nice in the KickGenius shoot around and the weariest with Jacque Slade but they almost looked all grey at times during the broadcast.

Absolutely. Both suede and leather would work well. I think the elite model will be dope too, but it always is... But let's just get these regular XIIs out thoAnd for some reason I think the EXT's are gonna be epic on this model

I had the opportunity to try these on before we sent them back because they are also apart of the Nike recall (NSRL, Heart of a Lion, Instinct, and Meridians). They run super TTS in my opinion. I've bought most of my LeBrons (AZG, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10 elite, and 11) in a 10 but my true size is 9.5. The 9.5 I tried on fitted perfect and I still had a pinch of room. The feel and comfort really is comparable to the 10s. The zoom pods arent very noticeable until you put pressure on them. The hyperfuse on them seems to be the same consistency as the 11s. As for the color way itself, they have a purple tint to them, and the iridescent posite really does look awesome. Instincts arent on my first day scoop list, but I would consider them down the road. All together I think it's a super dope shoe that you can wear for performance or casual without looking awkward. I apologize if this post is super long. I'm just trying to provide you guys with more insight.

Hey fellas just wanted to give you an update on my superglue job before I hoop in em.
This eyelet cracked after applying super glue for the first time and lacing them up "game tight". Had to apply more glue to all the eyelets In the hole and under the flanges of the eyelet, only on the inside flanges ( closest to ankles when on your foot), not the outer ones that everyone can see.
I noticed that they were still cracking but holding on. Maybe its my superglue made the plastic a bit brittle? or maybe this plastic was already brittle from the manufacturer. IMA JUST BLAME THE MANUFACTURER LOL, maybe I should of found some model cement, I remember it being a little more rubbery than super glue.
When I tied up the shoe tight. they felt really great. More toe box room compared to the xi. There is almost no seems on the inside of the shoe it almost feels like a sock. you can feel the softness of the foam midsole but I really think the shoe feels stiff because the upper is so flexible and the sole is really stiff ( shank plate, zoom pods, hyperposite, and outsole), creates a little imbalance between upper and sole. Still more flexible than the 11 overall, you can really feel the flex grooves in the sole.

I'm glad they're working on this cracking eyelet stuff now before pairs actually get to the masses
Would've been a global catastrophe if they would've released with that brittle plastic seeing as it broke down during the first wear :x
Could you imagine how many codes Nike would've had to give out for returned pairs they would've went bankrupt 
Nonetheless the overall shoe is growing on me more and hearing the X comparisons as well as TTS fit has my body ready

So are all the 12s comin out this year going to have the number 6 on the pull tab on the back? That's just ridiculous if so. How does Nike keep botching their biggest stars line?
