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

[Blue Mamba]

This is the shirt that is supposed to go with the "Flights." It has the flying lion graphic on the chest all the logos are 3M too. The LeBron logo is on the right sleeve. My friend who manages a foot locker sent me this.

That's pretty dope, but it's copying the all-star shirt with the washed colors.

If those faded to mirror this:

It would make a dope Lava colorway IMO.

 

[Mister Meaner]

The black/red combination just doesn't sit right with me. Looks very variantish.

 

[doomsdayd]

Holy crap, those Fairfax! Nothing tops the Fairfax 7's but those are killer.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Can they give us at least one colorway with some gold posite  ? 

 

[hiphopisdead]

I can't fold, I need gold, I re-up and reload

blk/chrome exts are the first and probably only lebron 12's that are slightly tempting

Now there's something I thought I'd never hear

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

my imaginary girlfriend ​

Oh, ok.

Hope she likes the XII...and Easter colorway.

 

[sprite remix]

the 12 model is certified garbage to begin with

the subtle yet wearable blk/chrome cw with unique details make them tolerable

not sure how people having different opinions than the sheep consensus is something you thought you'd never hear

 

[hiphopisdead]

So if it's certified garbage then stay out the thread. It's that simple. Go be a wolf elsewhere

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

the 3 colorways i bought are fire to me

Good question...do the stores have to get "permission" from Nike to sell certain shoes at a discount or something?

Once these chain stores buy/receive their stock from Nike...Nike has made their money. Shoes purchased at wholesale. The retailer obviously wants to make max profit so that is most likely what keeps the instore discount at bay. Online stock takes up no space, just in a warehouse. Store stock taking up expensive retail real estate.

Yeah, that's what I figured.  Just making sure that Nike didn't have some kind of "price fixing" policy to boost sales at all stores by preventing one store from undercutting, like some companies do...a fruit vendor comes to mind...

Cross border shopping - just left a mall - they have a FSR in every Lebron between the Champs, FL and Footaction:


Except those Palmers

Naw def not. These stores b feeling themselves now tho so they take their good time to mark product down to the low low. I swear a lot of stuff doesn't even get marked down. They just RTV them and then they will pop up at outlets and stores like Marshall's and stuff with the footlocker stickers still on them.

Yeah...I usually check out the sneaks at places like Kohl's and stuff when my wife is in there shopping...you never know what you might find.
