Nike LeBron 23

[truenike81]

So discount double check it is months late I'll find a pair in the discount store for cheap

 

[pharaohrache]

Just inspected mine. Quality SUCKS on these. Like they just placed stickers on the sole. Sticky residue everywhere. When you press the sole down, it's so flimsy like there is no support. Not too impressed. The packaging and extras are cool for $220, but not for the shoe itself. Quite disappointed.

This is unacceptable.. saw a post that had quality issues as well but on the upcoming Miami Twice color way.

Not even for casual wear?

 

[freefrombondage]

because of a Henny advertisement? lol

Is an advertisement ever just an advertisement?
For all his theatrics in trying to appear socially aware, why would he choose to be featured in a campaign that likely feeds into the prison-industrial complex, the same system that makes modern slaves of men who look like him?
Probably for the same reason he’s a grown man walking around with makeup on his scalp, pretending to read revolutionary books.

Spoiler

Any help with a size 12 would be greatly appreciated.

I bought on stockx the day before release for $444 and of course the price and jumped and I’m pretty sure the seller isn’t gonna ship. SMH

Nike doing what Nike does. Not a dollar going to that mess

Yeah these will be worn for 2 months then going back to nike for a full refund. Cant exchange them coz theyre sold out. Cant resell them coz they wont be authenticated due to flaws. So might as well wear them. They also have some weird bulge in the foam too. Man my kid can cut better than this.

 

[rbk93]

Nah just return them lol, someone else might appreciate them with the flaws.

Chill, he gotta flex first

 

[Dr.BlasterCombo]

Those aren’t flaws. Those are manufacture defects. Criminal to sell those at retail price

It's not that deep lol

 

[joex]

$80 for the shoe, $120 for the packaging lol

[James_O]

Another one of many reasons I personally don't rock like that with him.

why are you in the lebron thread then, lol

 

[freefrombondage]

It's not that deep lol

It isn't until you see a family member get killed by a drunk driver or watch a friend wither away from dialysis.

 

[g-time]

He’s not personally responsible for someone ingesting it. That’s that individual’s decision. Bron isn’t putting a gun to their head and saying drink.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Yeah unlike karate kicks making me wait till those Miami’s go to outlets lol

Nah if I see them locally I might copp

 

[freefrombondage]

No one is a holding a gun to our head forcing us to buy the shoes but most people buy them because ...

Like I said it's mutiple reasons I don't mess with him that I don't care to derail the thread for. I thought a grown man walking around with mascara on his head would be sufficient for most.

Prices look like they're starting to drop on the uncharted. They're back in the 400's in my size on stockx.

I have a couple friends in the entertainment business with hair transplants/plugs. One younger by a lot and the other is a little older than Bron. There is nobody with more money than LeBron and he ends up with the worst looking hair help. I would be happy to help him connect with the right people.

I’ll buy if they’re a size 12

Shoes for a sport with one of the greatest to do it for said sport/fandom/casual wear =\= choosing to drink because said athlete was in a marketing campaign.

Again, those are both choices of an individual. I’ve broken generational alcoholism in my family and am a fan of LeBron. Seeing him in this partnership/endorsement doesn’t make me want a drink or start.

we now hav definitive confirmation that the US release has the translucent pink sole and the XDR version is solid

 

[pacmagic2002]

Bron has been endorsing los lobos for years (I think that’s the name of it).

Hell, I don’t even drink and I have 2 bottle of the VS

[sneakergameinsane]

An exposed stitch point in that high wear area is insane

possible recall in the future?
