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

[Naruto]

fruit gushers on the outsole? pass, prefer the 11s

 

[supreme being]

not a fan of that flyknit looking stuff, whats with the squashed skittles on the bottom too?

 

[The7onius]

Taste the rainbow.

 

[mostly human]

When the sole yellows there could be even better colors revealed!

 

[jadaqwest]

These dudes hatin on these lebrons...stop using the phrase "on the fence" or "they starting to grow on me"when it gets close to release date give em sometime..hatin ***** smh

 

[rod301]

so much potential in the earlier samples.. how could you nike ?

 

[The7onius]

Ermm, ok lol. Was that a demand or a request?

 

[vid809]

Ive been feeling these since pics came out and im still liking them. I actually like how high they are

 

[leclutchjames]

From front view they look dope but man

From the side they look like ****

 

[Nipsey3000]

Looks good in the pics a few pages back. Wasnt a fan of the 11 at all...so 12>11 imo.

Looking fwd to seeing more.

Still sad to see the casual appeal of the line go away in favor of hardcore ball kicks. Imo, the mesh of the 2 is what creates classic sneakers.

 

[sunshineblotters]

As usual, I am the one with the oddball opinion. The color pods is what saves these from me. Still nothing I have seen that is truly copworthy.

I keep tryna find something I like of his for use in the gym but I just can't. Should've picked up 8s when I had the chance

 

[ultralightbeam]

Can't get with that extended flywire over the Swoosh.

Looks like stretched bubble gum.

 

[kareem33]

I'm definitely coming around on it. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the key swoosh placement. The one-piece construction is pretty nice, and the tech could be decent. If there's just one thing I'm hoping for, it's that not every cw is bound by that checkered pattern we've seen on the teal, and black samples. Just some solid, matte cow's could go a long way towards changing people's minds.

 

[mrfama5]

The more pics I see, the more disappointed I am. The shoe design is just awful, I don't see how you guys could find it appealing. Not even just this colorway, it just looks like one big peice of flyknit, with 2 awkward looking panels for the side, and the heel. I'm sure they're gonna be great for basketball, and for comfort, but I just don't see it being rocked casually. If all the images were seeing are the final product, I honestly think the shoe will be a flop. ESPECIALLY if the price point is $220+. This is the first year that the KD design looks 10x better, and they're gonna be $70 cheaper. I just don't see why anyone would go for the Lebrons this year. Huge disappointment, especially since Lebrons were really nice for the past 6 years. 

 

[qstoan]

Aesthetically, I like the 11 better but I'm becoming a big fan of the mesh and fabric uppers for performance. My last two favorite shoes to ball in have been kobe 8 and and hyper rev so I'm very curious about how the 12 will perform.

 

[darkknight2013]

I will not be getting these horrible shoes. I like everything but the bottom pods. Y o y must nike add colors to the bottoms, all of the chicks I have lined up will run from me as soon as they see my kicks. But wait now I see the elites, o whoosh me now the shoes are growing on me (pause). Lol some of you guys are too predictable. These kicks are fire and there is no denying it. As long as nike doesn't over price them ( that's a gimme) I will be copping hopefully under $250.00.

 

[alp]

Bottom pods are dope to me

 

[All Ready]

remind me of a super soaker for some reason

 

[cali j 360]

SO ARE THESE THE CANNONS?????

 

[redrum3281]

remind me of a super soaker for some reason

I thought the colorful pods prob had to do with his love of skittles

 

[herbshuttles15]

I know this is NT but people really care what color the pods are
