Any word on the fit on the XIIs?

I asked a couple of the wear testers at the Nike Launch event and they said "Very true to size."  

 

[swanny]

Thanks for the info.  XIs are way too narrow for me.  I would upsize to 13s and still too narrow.

Interesting. How do Lebrons run relative to Jordans?

Interesting. How do Lebrons run relative to Jordans?

Jordans run a little big to me, while Kobes have usually run more TTS.

These past few models of LeBrons have run a little small in my case, so I hope that has changed with the XII.

Best quality lebron?

that lace cover thing looks cool with the color applique but overall just looks like a bite off the jordan VI.


the nsrl and that last pick with the colored lining are the dopest so far imo

Been sitting on these for a while. My only complaint is that you can't really tighten the laces below the lacelock, but the fit isn't really an issue. Don't worry about the lacelock ripping off or anything.



Also, Christmas colorway is insane.

Goodness.

 

[Blue Mamba]

shorts to match the NSRL

 

[dwoodactennis]

I know they looked cool, but in a way I'm glad no more Lion Head lace locks, those are such a pain to mess with...I usually just took them off completely and put them in the box.

I cannot wait for this years christmas pack

yeeeeaaa I mean I get it was the big hoop-lah or whatever with the press release but I was taken aback by how many blogs and self-proclaimed "sneakerheads" were acting hella brand new.


I've picked out my pairs 3 months ago Red Lions (definitely), NSLRs (?), and them all black joints with the pink? swoosh (?).

Yeah, probably just make blackouts an ID option.  

 

[bdrake823]

Good video from Jacques Slade about his wear test experience with the shoe. Answered some questions I had.

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

The clear sole on the Blackout ruins them...to me, anyway.

 

[memphissfinest]

WOW. TRILLION DOLLAR MANS ARE FLAMES. COPPING THOSE, NSRL, BLACKOUTS AND HEART OF LION DAY 1.

I've liked the NSRL since we first saw pics, but damn... the on-feet shots and more detailed pics tend to get me

 call it whatever you want, I'm not ashamed  

The lions are still my fave of the bunch so far though
