The Official Nike LeBron XII Thread- "July 4th/USA" & "King's Cloak/Red Paisley" 06/27/15

It won't, but to paraphrase the great philosopher Big Worm it's the principalities of the situation.

The eyelet defect isn't major and won't affect the feel or performance of the shoe, but it is a defect nonetheless.

For Nike to charge a premium price for one of their signature athlete's shoes and for said kicks to have issues before you even put them on your feet is unacceptable.

I feel that

I'll take a pair of the messed up joints for a cool hunnid

If it really is a 6 vs 23 issue. I get the feeling nike knew what they were doing.

They'll "scrap" most of the 6 pairs. The others already sold will have crazy resell.

Otherwise I don't see an excuse for delaying 10 days before the initial release.

It's not the 6 vs 23 issue...it's the eyelet piece popping apart.  

I'm sure it's really the eyelet issue but @GradeSchool has a point

 

[impressivegol]

are they gonna end up making 20 colorways of these too?

 

[carolinafinest]

I'm really feeling this dunkman the more I look at it. Only thing is that clear sole after a few years. Glad it ain't the jb ice that yellows in a few wears. This is why is important to wear your shoes. Me included

 

[jbc908]

Is some one gonna tell me are these comfortable

 

[thapointguy]

It's more of a safety issue than cosmetics. Last thing Nike wants is a lawsuit. To save face they are gonna use that reason. Here's a scenario, If someone's child were to play with the shoes and see the pieces dangling freely, he/she is gonna try to take it off and maybe put them in their mouth thinking it's candy and choke on it. You know how curious kids are.

The shirts need to be recalled too for lack of creativity. $35?

are they gonna end up making 20 colorways of these too?

I hope so.

What did Lebron wear in the scrimmage today.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Funny people are complaining about derailing threads and being worried about it happening but the same people had a 5 page convo about other Lebron shoes and which were their favorite, if you ain't involving these "regulars" in your convo you will be reported. Only time derailing is acceptable is when they do it.

I honestly wouldn't care if the eyelets came off it won't change the feel of the shoe

It won't, but to paraphrase the great philosopher Big Worm it's the principalities of the situation.

Actually the lace would start slicing into the posite after a while, especially if you're playing in them. Looks like the little cylinder goes through and protects from that happening.

Fair point.

 

[al audi]

nike goof'd

i was ready for the 11th

now that they pushed back, im on to somethin else now

 

[Gordonson]

Then you probably never really wanted them in the first place, and you were done a favor because you can now take that money and get something that a minor delay wouldn't defer you from.

I remember when grown men were complaining about the rugrut kd6s being GS only

 riptor for the win

riptor?

Man...

 

you got me on the spelling that show is like 20yrs old I didn't feel like googling it Reptar/Riptor, Rugrats/Killer Instinct tomato/tomato

 

[dakidlo3]

Stop spelling reptar wrong brah

That's my era b

 

[a-friend]

These are sex

Where you been bruh? Of course Nike gonna come out with 20+ colorways of the 12, business as usual since the 9 plus iD. If they didn't it would mean they got tired of draining their loyal customers pockets with weekly drops

 

[Magic33]

@dudes saying a product being poorly made doesn't matter to them.

I hope you dudes don't ever complain about a Jordan retro

 

[The7onius]

Can't compare a retro defect to a new shoe defect, with the retro you have something to compare it with.

 

[dc30]

Can't compare a retro defect to a new shoe defect, with the retro you have something to compare it with.

I think he might be referring to the overall quality, not really OG vs Retro comparison. But if he's not then you are correct

 

[The7onius]

I think people are just eager to have the shoe now.

The circled red piece is important though, but the other 2 pieces really don't make a difference.

 

[vampire xtc]

people not caring about that eyelet issue more than likely dont plan to lace them that high or will just wear casually and not for ball

in that sense i can get someone bein ehhh about it

but regardless as its been said

if i pay X amount

i expect a shoe to not be fallin apart

im waiting for the better quality replica to pop up so i can laugh lol

 

[dark steel]
