Official Revised LeBron X Thread: Pressures Launch 11/2 Details pg. 1

[skip2mylou23]

Ok let me clarify a bit..I don't have a problem per se with the actual story that Nike has cooked up, or "true inspiration " if you will..but I think it's a little over the top to connect invisible dots.
The fighter plane as inspiration for the AJV? Yes definitely true...but Nike or MJ didn't have whole back story cooked up in order to push the shoe or a "limited" tag either. Just that a WWII fighter plane was inspiration for the midsole "sharktooth " design, I'm cool with that. Plus any other design cue that the Jordan line took from somewhere, be it his cars or dress shoes or whatever. I just don't think that they were ever marketed to that extent. A brief mention, then moving right along...
The 9 had "inspiration" stories as well, but I think they made more sense. Cannon was based on the training camp location, Miami Nights could be said to mirror Biscayne Bay like the Fly Wade 2EV and the MIami U...well self explanatory. Even the China had the "blue flame" thing going on with some Chinese dragon imagery on the tongue, but it was never pushed to that extent. No real problem with stories, but don't use that SOLEY to push the shoe...the shoe should do that itself.
The "Crown Jewel" is SUPER LIMITED and will have special packaging??? Does it really need all that? Probably not, I agree with MEMPH, let the shoe speak for itself, and I think the X has enough put into it that it can stand alone without "mystical pomp and circumstance" lol.

What exactly was the influence for the Cannons?

Just had wtf?

Around an hour ago now. They had 9, 10, 12, 14 up.

I managed to get a 10 but I needed a 9.5. We'll see if it goes through.

^^

The shoe's design and color scheme was inspired by the Air Force.
Nike calls it "The Cannon'' edition of the LeBron 9. The military-green theme is a nod to the Miami Heat having their first training camp since James joined the team last season at Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base. Those installations in Florida's Panhandle hosted the Heat for about a week, and players interacted with military personnel during that camp.

That would suck if someone payed those high resell prices. I hope so though so I can trade these joints for something better.

THOSE THAT BOUGHT THEM TRIED TO HYPE PEOPLE ON TO THEM AS THE LEBRON 10 CHINA 9 EQUIVALENT.

I SAW THEM WHEN I BOUGHT THE GOLD MEDALS AND SAW IN PERSON HOW TRASH THEY WERE.

EASY PASS.

The blues are everywhere here in so cal. They're jus sitting

[you big dummy]

 

[KanyIZZY]

I TRIED ON THE BLUE DIAMONDS TO SEE HOW LEBRON X'S FIT AND WAS UNMOVED... AS FOR THE CROWN JEWEL RERELEASE POSSIBILITY... IF I DONT HAVE SOME KIND OF INSIDE HELP, I WONT BE GETTING THEM AT RETAIL BC I AM SIMPLY NOT INTO STANDING ON LINE FOR DAYS TO STALK THE RELEASE...BUT IF I CAN COME ACROSS THEM OTHERWISE IM COPPING AT RETAIL WHICH IS UNLIKELY CONSIDERING THE SHOE'S HYPE AT THIS POINT

Some will buy LeBron's no matter what for whatever reason. They will think everything LeBron related is hot. Trust your own eyes and ears. If you have to be swayed into liking a shoe, you probably won't be satisfied with the end results.
