OFFICIAL 2022 LeBron 2 Retro Post: FINALLY

[vinnuendo]

Clean. Classic lebron colorway, dope that those still have the laser detailing on the collar. Wonder if the box will also be the same as the OGs, have we seen boxes yet? I'll be patient til ASGs or hopefully PEs drop though.

 

[hhelman7]

id be ok with the toe box being slightly altered for more room. OG toe boxes got uncomfortable with long wears

 

[g-time]

Clean AF

Absolutely. In for a pair

I think I may be the only one who prefers the Yellow cw over the Gold

I want to see more new cws like the OG but with Purple accents.

White/Navy or Black/Red and I'm in.
I'm OK with the $215 price point as well.

 

[vinnuendo]

$215 hopefully they go on sale like the OGs did too then

 

[joex]

$215 is official? Sheesh

NO NO NO!!!!

for $215 they better have more tech than the full length SINGLE zoom. I say that and then bought some of the current retros for over $215

Where is NIKE coming up with these price points?

$215 hopefully they go on sale like the OGs did too then

Shiiiiiit they better be giving us full-grain leather for that price, damn

 

[fdub]

Is $215 confirmed? If so, it's an $90 price mark-up from the Originals retail price....smh. If it was like, $175, that's respectable, but $215...smh

 

[g-time]

They put carpet/fur on the 9 and charged 240. That ain’t happening lol.

 

[sk33termcg33]

the Shag Rug 9s smh

 

[SolesNGoals99]

You mean they put Chewbacca fur or Wholly Mammoth for on dem joints to jack the price like they did

Damn, the LeBron 4 retro is gonna be $250+ or $275+ at this rate if they flip the 2004 pricing from $125 to $215 in 2022. Those LeBron 4s were $150 retail back in 2007.

 

[rbk93]

Doubt it. Most LeBron retros were $200 retail I think outside of LeBron 9s.

He’s saying the huge price increase because the LBJ 4 had double stacked zoom in the heel and i think one of them was full length

 

[sk33termcg33]

Damn did the 4s really have double stacked?! Didn’t know that

 

[sk33termcg33]

The 4s had full length zoom… the 6s had full length zoom and then a zoom unit under in the heel.

Pretty dope if y’all wanna check it out:

rbk93 - I just wouldn't be surprised, but either way, the prices on the LBJ retros are a bit wild.

I forgot if the LeBron 4s had double-stacked Zoom. I know the 6s did... I feel like the 5s did, too, but I could be wrong about that. I really hope the LeBron 6s get retros. Those were so dope! Probably won't get the genuine leather toe though.

I've always wanted this pair.
The last time i saw one for sale in my size it went for $2000.
I also knew people who had it, but none of them wanted to sell. I expect a lot of pairs to be listed now.

Also, as much as I will enjoy picking up this pair, I don't know why they are retro'ing it.
The average joe & even above average LeBron enthusiasts aren't even familiar with the color & backstory of this shoe.

All these PE drops are under appreciated tbh & as much as people say they want samples to release, as soon as they do, they become undesired. Prime example is the WTT 9's.

PO

 

[joex]

If they are $215. Just wait 2-3 months after release. Lebron’s have tend to go down after that time period.

 

[shawndavinci]

Hands down best hooping shoe for me ever and favorite Bron sig. OG had double stacked full length zoom im pretty sure? They were super soft, no other shoe ever made me feel like I could fly like these. Next closest were zoom 2k5.

I’m buying every color, idc if they are $215

Edit: I peeped that official LeBron tech link and it said high volume zoom but i coulda swore I remember them saying double stacked back then

 

[I Am Si Guy]

I remember buying the only two pairs of sz 12 my store got in the OG colorway for half price when I worked at Sports Authority back in the day. Then I went to another store and returned one of them without a receipt and they gave me cash for the full price. That was their return policy back then. Cash for returns without a receipt.

Karma bit me in the *** later that week and I popped the Zoom Air in the right shoe while playing bball at the park.
