 Nerf being neon doesn't make me desire them at all I don't even like the theme or idea its as bad as these horrible superhero themes, if they want to make the superhero theme actually good why not based the cw off of there fav superhero from their childhood, i mean if they can do skittles, pb

I believe UA is already doing the superhero thing with cleats, they have Marvel and DC characters already.

so does reebok and converse, your aware that more than one company can have a contract to source material right?

I personally think it's corny

 

[redrum3281]

@carbon16  that's because we get crap like this

instead of more like this

or even better off

the goal is influence not a painted pic all over the shoe, reebok does theirs in adult form right all the time from the marvel to the volton where as others take their licenses and they just paint a pic from the movie like the starwars vans

usually, i think it's okay as long as long as it's not cheesy aka literally sprawled over the whole shoe

Even if you don't like the lebron 11 or the look of this one specifically, this is how it SHOULD be done: It's okay to incorporate a theme as long as it's subtle enough....

Here some big *** photos of the datas

Dammit, I was really looking forward to skipping the XII.

...there's absolutely nothing subtle about these shoes.

Wtf is nike thinking. Lebron is the biggest most popular athlete in the world and they make his sig shoe look hideous. Can't believe he gave the ok on the 11s and these 12s. They're pretty horrible IMO.

Nike is in the business of making money. The 11 was the best selling LeBron to date. I don't see the sales falling off on the 12.

i meant that the theme is subtle, not the shoe

the designers didn't need to have "fruity pebbles" scrawled across the whole shoe

 

[iheartboost]

This model kinda reminds me of football cleat. Plus, the swoosh is way to low IMO, looks like it's falling off the shoe...

 

[devious1212]

That's one of the dumbest things I've read on here concerning shoes

Thank you glad you read it 

 

[devious1212]

I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he just got a really weak joke off

Thanks was a weak joke at 6 am after being up all night, appreciate cutting me some slack not like some people 

 

[redrum3281]

this is subtle NikeXMarvel F4 pack

this is why I believe they should just do it and if they do it across the 6(5) major athlete's they have signed it would be an awesome pack and could be better than the yearly crappy SH pack they do as well as the Easter pack or how about an animal theme, how bout an actual lion theme design like

they have been doing the lion king thing since his beginning and the closest thing to a lion theme we got was the tiger's eye 2k14

 every year we get great "snake" theme for Kobe so why is it so hard to get a Lion for LeBron nike's missed opps to do ish right

 

[size8forsale]

Lebron fans will still cop no matter what they look like, just like kobe fans still cop those wrestlemania shoes

Straight up. But i actually do like them. Except for the Orange ones.

I don''t think the 12 will sell like the 11, I 've seen a lot of comments not just here of pepole saying how unattractive the shoe is. So I wouldn't be surprised only time will tell though.

 

[Tigron]

The turn will most def happen like it always does.

 

[Lunar_Loner]

$200 is a expensive turn but we'll see.

 

[carolinafinest]

At this cws I don't think so

I see one or 2 and I'm done. Sucks they can't have back to back on shoe models but he can win 2 championships in a row. Makes the whole #striveforgreatness campaign ironic

the turn happened on the $200 XI, people wasn't feeling them til the saw that KP, then it was "those are nice, it's only $20"

 

[i get busy]

For what it's worth, I hope the ceiling for LeBrons is $200. Probably not tho. But it's cool to have it stay the same for another year. ( even tho we been brainwashed to think $200 is good)

I'm sure next year it will go up to at least $210 only because the fact that the remastered Jordans will be a test of a great price increase and if people are still willing to buy it.

Most 11s ended up getting discounted pretty heavily. Hopefully the same will happen to the 12s.
