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

[Magic33]

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

Not sure how he didn't get that. People like to nitpick Jordan retros that they aren't going to ball in, for shape, color shades, but now a $200 sneaker falling apart without being worn doesn't matter

Imagine that sneaker in a year or more.

It's an amazing sneaker. I'm a true size 9. The past lebrons I had to go .5 up or even wear a size 10, but the size 9 feels amazing. It might be my favorite Lebron yet. Light and comfortable. The material is great. The color way is beautiful...

20$ for one sock lol, I must be old because that just seems ridiculous to me.

You actually get 2 socks for $20

What did Lebron wear in the scrimmage today.

Soldier 8s

@CarolinaFinest
 do you have what the LeBron XI? sorry I can't remember but the point is in your argument about cartoon characters on shoes.....there's that whole stewie griffin 6 on the WTLXI we still cool though I just wanted to point out that whole you know character thing
View media item 1132646

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

Nah riptor?! Man I haven't heard or seen that character in ages. Chucky was that guy

Nah only give props to the Dr doom dunks. To each it's own. At the end of the day with delays and defects we have to debate about something. It's all love doe.

For the Record...it's 'Reptar'

So these don't run as tight in the toe box at the 11? Still need to go up half a size or naw?

I love people like you...show up in a thread for the first time near a release date for a shoe you have no interest in, tell everyone how "ugly as hell" they are, (and apparently how they are a "gimmick" without any explanation) and then proceed to declare how anyone that likes them is a "hypebeast/stan/fanboy/sheep," and then get mad when someone disagrees with you.  Classic....

Keep on that Jordan resell game though...that's good work but you probably picked the wrong thread to advertise.

Repped for accuracy my dude

Love the "sheep" comment from the JB guy. Now I know his SN been around for a minute...but still. And a gimmick is usually a trick or ploy to drum up business. One could say the Reebok pump was a gimmick, but I don't see any gimmicks in a new LeBron shoe. New tech maybe but it's all still regular Zoom Air, mesh/fuse etc...but hey...that's me ya'll.

 

[domosirchazzo]

Glow in the dark, limited availability and references to previously popular products are also typically used Nike gimmicks.

...none of which have been said to be taking place in the XII model so far.
