THE LEBRON 13 THREAD *Elites released**Command Force 6/11/16

[rl_wayne]

Man, I'm really not feeling the 13s at all based off these initial pics. I'll wait til I can check them out in hand to really judge, but probably gonna pass on most colorways like I did with the 12s.

Just buy one pair for the collection at a discount/sale price and be done with it. How many colourways of the same shoe does one person realistically need? It's not as if each colourway feels different on the feet, etc...

That's exactly what I did with the 12s. I only have the ASGs since I already own most of the other ASG shoes. I never buy more than 1 colorway of any shoe unless I truly like it. Was only saying the 13s probably wouldn't be any different for me based off these first pics. I don't get wrapped in feeling a need to buy multiple colorways just for the sake of having them.

The whole Lebron line is great except for the 11

That's comical, you're trying too hard to be like Lebron

 

[MoneyAmeer]

Nah I just don't like the look of them
They're comfortable but I don't like how they look. Out of the 13 they are the worst imo

Interesting, you have the exact opposite opinion that I do, I believe the 11 is the only Lebron worth buying so far (might add some 9 elites and 7s into the mix later)

xi looks amazing but this shoe looks like a transformer shoe, so to looks good it need simple colorways like kings pride or terracota warrior for example

 

[darren502]

In my opinion,
The XI looks amazing, it's very different.
But the design was horrible for fit and comfort.
It is one of the most unique shoes of all time.

Can't wait to really see the 13

I love the idea of the stretch fit upper. It's about time they evolved from flywire.

It's not even about him. They are one of the most comfortable lebrons but aesthetically I can't do do em. I understand that Lebron didn't like the fit that they had on his toes?

After everyone got on dudes case for "derailing" (even though he really didn't) this thread, the same people are talking about every LeBron, except for the 13. Haha, gotta love the contradictions and double standards around here. The final product does have a strap on them and the shoes in the pictures are sample prototypes.

I think you may be talking about the healthy debate I was having with ol boy...if not, still applies anyway. Repped

I can see why you wouldn't like the 11s though. Posite placement is polarizing. I love em though.

I sure hope they are samples and not the finished product cause these look dated...all those griffey/90s shoe comments were spot on

also 11s are the goat, just get over it guys

Nike is still on that "we're gonna just go ahead and copy Christian Louboutin" tip huh...spikes, red soles and all.

 

 

[king mamba 624]

Smh on the hate for the 11.. I can almost guarantee you that, in the future, people will look back very fondly on that model.. When/if Nike retros them (probably in/around 2030 or so), they will be VERY hyped. The 11s were such a unique shoe and incorporated a lot of modern tech (lunarlon, zoom, flywire, armorposite, etc.)

this.11's are 1 of my fave brons i went ham on those compare to 12s i only have 1 pair and i copped it coz its only $99.

$220 retail price....ugh, really thought they were staying put at $200.

[Mister Meaner]

I don't understand how people don't understand differing opinions on the XI. Just because YOU think they're the best thing since sliced bread doesn't mean that they are. Initially, I liked the design of the XI, but shortly after seeing them in person, my opinion did a complete 180°. The design was too busy. The colorways were either uninspired or thrown off in some way. The shoe itself felt cheap to me. And my feet aren't jacked like LeBron's but the XI was still a piss poor performer in terms of comfort.

So to rank the XI near the bottom of this sig line isn't farfetched at all. It all depends on who you ask.
