[brooklynnyc3000]

I know that lol, still garbage colors

 

[18th letter]

Can't wait for more colorways, these look sick.

Return of the baroque brown/wheat colorway

Im sure there will be an a breaking point where consumers buy less and less of these over-priced shoes. I havent bought any elites.

Nike is being greedy as feces. If they made less of the jumpan pros, melos, and 1000 different air maxs, theyd be spending less and wouldnt have to charge so much on the models that actually sell.

In other words, cut the fat. make what sells.

Made me laugh when you said cut the fat and Melo in the same response.  But I agree with you 100%

Dozo I agree with you too but the thirst for Nike product is at an all time high. To us the Jumpman team product and Melos are utter junk - but to the average consumer they are 'dem latest Jayz'. Likewise the 1000 Air Maxes are 'dem Nikes with the air bubbles'. Additionally Nike has a ton of outlets and they have to stock 'em with fodder.

Ditto. You wouldn't believe how many people beast over the SC2s at the Finish Line I work at...

 

[bossdonvah]

These look like a updated verison of the 8s

 

[de janeiro]

this is getting me excited possibly the best lebron yet

 

[jasiek91919]

i would say that they weren't painted yet

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

That sample looks like the VIII's & that's a VERY good thing!!!

i hope the unit is bigger than but............ Bahunt........... where the hell have you been?

the unit wont be bigger then that... that is a basketball specific max unit (they are slim/thin, rounded in the heel and have a small outrigger like on the LBJ 7)... I want to see the side of the unit... is it just a 360 air max unit or the new zoom max unit... hmmm
 

 

[ripc]

They look exactly like the 8s, but with Hyperfuse instead of leather 

Reverse swoosh needs to go.

 

[bishopstrongbow]

Samples are looking NICE...

Wonder what logo they will go with on the tongue..

maybe where you are, but the mall that is most likely to sellout in my opinion still has them, i frequent pg plaza often, and they were everywhere still, all except the obvious choice...

They do have that 8 feel but a better look, I like the reverse swoosh makes it different.
The tongue looks fairly big hopefully they can add some decent details on it.

How's it going bro? New job has been keeping me busy. Still have been checking in here and there but NT had to take a backseat for a bit haha. All is good though. These X's definitely are reminiscent of the 8 from this early look which I like so far. What I'm really interested in is how they beef up the tech. Hoping for the zoom embedded in max or maybe full length visible zoom. We'll see

 

[jecca650]

Those 10 samples are looking dope. Glad to see they're going in the right direction opposed to the fugly joints that are the KD 5s.

im very interested in the tech too....... thats the biggest thing im intersted in.  I think its going to be the first of the two options.

 

[brewc1ty]

so far these look like they will be my favorite LeBrons yet... 8s are gonna take a back seat to these

 

[carolina finest]

Cosigned!

 

[bigbrandon]

Those samples look nearly identical to the Darwin 360s that are on clearance everywhere. Can't wait to see the final product.

[GL Rayner]

Here we go again

.

Nike just straight taking the money from me

[rl_wayne]

I'm liking the direction of these a lot more than the KDVs so far. They definitely have that 8 feel to them, which is a good thing IMO.

Just turned the swoosh in the opposite direction.

 

[limitedretroog]

Again, the first thing that comes to my mind:

 

[bigbrandon]

Like I said earlier I see the 8 V3 + Darwins

I'm excited either way
