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

[Shwa3 Ma3]

Planned on ending my Lebron 11 run at 13 pairs after copping the WTLs.


But this model & colorway is so lackluster, I'm thinking about copping more 11s.

As much as I try to like the 12s (and it's not the soles cause I'm a sucker for that ice).... there's damn near no casual appeal to the model & I've yet to see a colorway I'd want to cop on release day.

Where's that must have initial colorway on the 12s?


8s....... South Beach!

9s...... China, Miami Nights & Cannons!

10s...... Crown Jewels, USAs & Cutting Jade!

11s..... Kings Pride, Aways & Forging Irons!





12s......... MEH!!!

I gotta agree with some of ya'll. These have no casual appeal to me yet. But they do have plenty of on-court, in the gym, or lounging around on a lazy day appeal to me. I will be saving a lot this year compared to the XIs. The only pairs I missed heading into the new year were TWs and GBs. So far it looks like the only pair I'll own heading into the new year are the LHs. Not mad at that at all. These cws are making it easy for me to slow down the lebron purchases.

I agree that the colorways are underwhelming but the shoes dope, ID gonna kill me...

Couldn't agree more, I've tried to like the 12s but nothing will save them.

Like the first dude said...... LAST great Dunkman was the 9s.

Btw, Those Tinman 8s were a straight up mess. :x

Naw... the Dunkman 9s were just meh to me.

But those 8 V3 DMs were just plain turrible, just like the whole V3 in general. :x

 

[carolinafinest]

Damn everytime I go ham on these funky *** 12s I get flamed but it's ok. I speaka da truth!

 

[bowb4me]

Not truth but opinion. What's funny is the ones who hate the 12 so far are the most active in the thread. Why so much attention for a ugly shoe with ugly CWs? Lol

 

[joulze]

So far NSRL & Data for me. I don't plan on doing too many 12's though probably just 5 pairs, and just catch up on some previous Lebron's I missed.

 

[MoneyAmeer]

We still haven't seen asg bhm Xmas and avm
I think 12s have alot in store

 

[jbc908]

when do the Lebronstranauts drop?

 

[ventureblake]

I don't think the Lion Hearts looked bad at all with jeans but maybe that's just me.  These can definitely be worn casually...I'm ready to wear the Instincts with some nice fitting dark jeans.  I'll show y'all

I hate that chose this model for a lebron. We're all fanatics and want the best for our favorite player. I don't hate hate the shoe. *yeah in that order [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]* Datas and instincts are the only ones I like.

And I rock with a few ppl in here. Cool *** ppl out of the lebron 11 thread.

I feel the same way. We've seen how many colorways. Every colorway has been meh for me. I'm wondering how many colorways do I have to see before I like one.

Not really complaining, because I'm trying to stop buying so many sneakers anyway.

 

[rl_wayne]

Maybe I missed it somewhere earlier in this thread, but have there been any details about the cushioning they're using for the XIIs? I assume they're not doing a drop in insert again after Lebron had issues with his orthotics with the XIs.

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

The 7s were the last great Dunkmans to me...

the 9s were a GOOD dunkman.... but the last GREAT was def the 7s.

 

[sneakerjesus]

fact dunkman not hot since vii..best dunkman iv

 

[eyedea]

fact dunkman not hot since vii..best dunkman iv

thats an opinion not fact

 

[redrum3281]

fact dunkman not hot since vii..best dunkman iv

fact your annoying.....worst post that fake kobe X

you see what i did there those aren't facts, facts aren't arguable, so many are picking diff than you and it makes them no more right than your are, I like the dunkman X volt, great long distance travel shoe, comfy and i can be seen when i'm pumping gas though i have volt socks and shirt to go with it so it helps

 

[someone12345]

 

we all know they not nerfs just sinilar

You can stop with the junk posts.

We're quite aware by now.

Unrelated but I thought Nike stopped with the GS cost cutting with the kobe 9s and kd 7s in gs sizes having flywire. Eh, geuss it only applies to lows...

Just needed to note that sneakerjesus was booted off the kd 7 thread for claiming that he knew when new kd 7s were coming out

he claimed that he met leo chang

 

[sneakerjesus]

offtopic but i did meet leo chang...orange best cw so far..svsm would br my fv on id
