Perfect example as to why people say colorways saved the 9.

the more these pics pop up the more i'm feeling them. i do think the tongue is a HUGE step back from the 8s and 9s... and the floridian cw with a black base is a no go and i think the black hyperfuse is a bad look in general... black leather/suede on the other hand 
but sadly hyperfuse only looks good in rainbow colors which i'm expecting to see a lot on this model...

Imma be honest...I've never been a fan of any shoes first colorway, dating way back to 96'...Almost every Jordan that was White/ Black was ugly to me. But, the Home and Away CWs are just too plain I guess, but once it cross Christmas now...It's over!!!

I'm reserving my judgement on looks until some more colors/ more official pictures come out but these seem like there are going to be some of the most comfortable shoes

word, i respect you having your own opinion. i do think certain cws are undesirable
I like the zoom-max bag, but everything else is lackluster. these don't scream 'fresh' or 'original'

yeah the only reason these appeal to me so much is because of the new tech as far as cushioning. as far as I know, there aren't any other shoes that will feature the encased zoom in air max combo, other than the Bron's. For that alone, if it is a success ofcourse, wouldn't it be worth the $180?
I mean, some of yall bought elite kobes that had full length zoom, and these would have full length zoom + air combo, for $20 less. Just trying to use some logic here...
*EDIT* Shoutout to a fellow McGee ^ haha.

No. Nothing is going to justify a 180 dollar shoe especially one made of synthetic materials. Nike used to use full grain leather and debut new technology all the time and the price was always like less than 150. Nike even increases the price on retros with crappier leather/materials than before. These things should be like 150 tops.
With that being said, I think it's a good looking shoe. I still like the Lebron 2s, 3s and 8s best though.
Also, I think it will be interesting to see how winning a championship will effect, if at all, how many people buy the Xs

I was hype over the jeweled swoosh but now, oh well. The Zoom/Air bag seems interesting, I'll have to try em on though.
Then if the magic happens, maybe. Employee discount ftw

I'm looking at it in comparison of the shoes out as of late. Obviously I would like the quality of materials akin to a LeBron 3, but it's all relative to what has been the trend lately.

@ Nike pulling that printed Swoosh BS on us again. Shoe looks cheap, and as usual, Nike wants more money for crappier materials.People will buy though.

Haha, sorry bout that fam. I'll be staying put for a decent killer
colorway. Wouldn't want some fancy drop. I'm waiting for a black/grey
based upper on these. A dunkman that's clean would be cool.
I can see myself wearing a NASTY NASTY colorway on these.
A black pair with subtle red hits or black with some volt.
FREAKIN EXCITED!

The design looks good, but that hypebeast Floridians' colorway looks terrible.

Floridians would look better if they just had solid black FLAT shoe strings

I can't lie, Printed on Swoosh is weird, but at the same time, I would rather have a printed on swoosh that I know will not chip or get messed up a la the Elite IX. Lebron 8 V2 had it and I didn't mind it one bit...I hate the printed on swoosh

I still have a feeling they're gonna have that crystal looking swoosh on at least a few Elite pairs.
