My thoughts exactly, how bad was the original design? These look like an OD basic cross-trainer that they just turned into a higher cut with a strap.
The Official Nike LeBron 14 Thread. Retail $175

Just a little off topic here but, they can drop an inline product with a sleek toebox yet EVERY damn retro has the 'steel toe' messed up toebox.

Your post is on point. I have those trainers so the reference absolutely clicked with me.
Same with the KD9.
Always hated the Vuitton style perforation on the 13 lows. So it's definitely a minus for me with the 14s now.
On tv, they looked dope as **** from a distance. But these closeups are lukewarm at best.
Only thing that will save these is some sick *** colorway.
No way these are moving at $175. NO. WAY.

Just one pair for the collection my brother. A sale price of $80-$100 is about right.
No Foamposite or any type of 'expensive' material on the shoe. Even $170 is steep for these.

first jordan for me as a kid was the jordan 2. (keep in mind, made in italy), and i owned a pair of every jordan thru the 15 after that.
all jordans back then, by todays standards would have been considered "premium" but back then, that was just the way things were. there were no synthetic materials like hyperfuse etc. just leather, suede etc. of course as time went on, nubuck and synthetic leathers were introduced, but in the ealry days, jordan 1,2,3,4 etc. what we call "premium materials" was just the norm.

These look like a shoe designed for his Soldier line!
They usually put a strap on those.

Still cant believe this the "Greatest player of all time" signature sneaker. This is almost as bad as buying remastered Jordans with poor quality. We accept the fact that a mere colrway will make them better. No matter how bad the color or shoe, we still buy them. Nike had enough time make a great first impression on this silhouette and colorway. If the colorway is anything like the KD9, the colors will be mediocre and boring.

I'm surprised nike hasn't announced any release dates or pricing, and we haven't seen any signs of these arriving at retailers
maybe nike rushed to have Lebron wear a finalized model and is now playing catch-up with producing them for retail? Only having the shoes made for lebron until he debuted them may have been how they kept early pictures from leaking from factories. We may not see these at retail for a while.

Yet nobody has even worn them yet.
Basing everything on looks, wrong way to think about it.

Seriously. Adidas right now is what Nike was in the early 00's.
Coming out with fresh designs and innovating.
All Nike does now is drop J's. Easy cash for them.
Avar, Chang.. what's going on

Every single PS posted has improved the shoe. I still have hope for these if Nike releases some dope colorways.

Dont forget about Petrie he is probably the worst of all, his designs have no thought behind em anymore just a mashup of past shoes he really should resign from the line haha

The Lebron 7-10 were great designs for Petrie.
I feel like after that Nike forced limitations on him.

Not impressed with anything Adidas has dropped beside the retro Pro Models to be honest. Yeezys and Nmds are just some over hyped slip ons.
