I know what you mean now. Maybe it's just me. Everything is up to the person looking at it. I've never really been a fan of the 1-5 Jordans.....I mean, they're ok just not my favorites.

Yep...threw my Luxbrons on ebay. Just couldn't look at them any longer. Worn them 4 times... I made myself try to like them.

At this point we just need a relaese date and for me to these on. I wanna see if this newly tweak pod setup is working with something.

here is the lebron line in a nutshell. 

1-4: cult status. started off with a bang. most of the people in here are here because they purchased these models wen they first came out. We seen the greatness before the masses did. 

5-6: the stale era. this was the time where , ironically, lebron himself positioned himself as the best player in the league, the signature line was at a hold. the soldier line in the same token started getting attention.

7-9: The prime years. This is when the masses started to realize that the lebron line was a force and everyone hopped on the train. it was also the inception of the elite series. also, it was the peak of its casual appeal while falling in line with lebron being  the undisputed King of basketball and really never letting go of that grip. 

X : the pinnacle. This shoe marked 10 years in for the line, while being the beginning of the new era of nike basketball where performance trumped casual appeal. This shows the perfect balance and produced the best colorways and concepts in the line. but.....

11-13 : the downward spiral. Performance 100% took over. casual appeal didn't reflect what was the norm in the market and the prices unjustifiably started to trend upward. it alienated the masses while pushing them more toward the second tier products (lows, soldiers) which in most cases, where cheaper and looked better aesthetically. 

and now we are at the 14, which looks to be the beginning of a new era.

Gospel. IIs are the best. Have the bred pair and the white/blues, bred IVs are my second favs then the 11s look really cool
 
7-10 are all of the same class

but the 10 had the best cw's

i wouldn't put the 11s with the 12 and 13

11s looked like nothing before or after

I like 1-4 but nothing I really need

Good post.
I agree with most of it.
I dont think most of the people in here bought 1-4's :lol:. Ive been buying Brons since the jump though & for me the 4 was a dud, i put them with the 5 as swings and misses. For me the 1-3 was the best stretch and Xs were the GOAT.
As far as the 14 starting a new era vs continuing the 11-13 demise, Im not so sure the 14 isnt a continuation. Tbd.

Dang Bron you confusing the heck out of me right now. You over played in the Soldier Xs. When you wore the Soldiers you didnt switch up and started wearing 13 lows. So why do this now!!! Dang....why not another cw or just put the black joints back on...

This surely doesnt look like a great start on a new iteration of the Lebron line...
