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

[abdc9]

 
Tried to play another game in my instincts, went right back to Clutchfit drives. Traction is just horrendous...

Was just going to ask how these hoop. Doesn't sound good. Least Lebron is actually wearing these this year.

I play in UAs and they are great! I'm waiting on some Clutchfits, but I've heard really good things about em.

The DHs are so fire that i probably would cop on discount and just learn to deal with the birthmark side

I don't own a pair of 12s but what makes the lace swap so difficult? Bloody thumbs? Geez!

In defense to the lacing my hands tend to be chapped and dry a lot due to the constant washing of my hands

I will say the entire lacing wasn't completely tough, it was mainly the first two lacing holes near the toebbox directly after the flywire :x

That part was so tough because you can't bend the shoe but so much while making sure to not lose the flywire |I

The laces go into the upper and back out of another hole, without going through the shoe itself, sort of like a small tunnel but the upper is somewhat stiff.

Exactly and the layer of material between the back of the lace holes and the inside of the shoe is what makes it tough to maneuver

I'm scared the flywire will go inside the shoe and all will be lost.

This was my biggest fear, I'm not sure how one would get it back through had they lost it

As I maneuvered the shoe I periodically used some tweezers to grab the flywire loops and keep them pulled out as far as they would go |I

Do you think Nike has some sort of device that makes the lacing easier?  There are literally hundreds of thousands of LeBron 12s out there, and they all come laced as far as I can tell.

I imagine a huge room full of Chinese workers who do nothing but lace shoes all day.  Damn. :x

I'm pretty sure they put the laces through the upper before assembling the upper on these

There's no way they could've laced all the pairs going about it the way I had to :x

Was maybe hoping to cop any random coloraway for the low to play in but I think the clutchfits are really something. May just have to go that route. Although I'm waiting on some 29s I copped for low and see how those work out. But the UAs maybe the best value for balling out there. Shame brons arent holding out to be better than they should be. Although I'm not 6'8 and 250lbs. And if the mans wearing it,I guess its a success.

I'll admit, the ASG's have grown on me, but they're still a pass. 

Kyrie > Lebron > Kobe > KD

Ohhh ok. Gotcha. Either way, the swap looks dope. Been trying to decide on a pair for my first 12 experience. Haven't bought a Bron since the 3.

for real tho... i said in the kd7 thread that i'm just gonna grab everything that i want, and then sort it out once i have them in hand... i'm hoping some get returned 

 

[ventureblake]

It's so nice to only want ONE shoe for a good while.....if ASG fall in my lap because I can't create an ID that I happen to like more, then so be it...but right now....

 

[blacklion23]

These are dope in GS and Preschool sizes. Bought my boys the Datas. Love the liner and the heel tab. They look really dope from the back. Wanted to by the 23 Chromosomes for my daughter, but she's a size 5 in 3rd grade. Not feeling paying $160 for her kicks.

Trust, it's not easy. Especially once you start getting into brands like NB and Saucony. It's so hard to keep up, unless you're someone that has the money to blow.

 

[ammforever23]

Those DH are fire I think I'm going to make that my 4th pair of 12s. Those pictures were just too convincing.

 

[The7onius]

I'm only concerned with the LeBrons this month, Oreos have my interest but that'll be a last minute decision.

[domosirchazzo]

I really try not to talk up shoes that I'm excited about...

But I've been confused since day 1 on how anyone could prefer any other XII c/w over the Double Helix.

I think all the other c/w's are decent

...but that DH is beautiful.

ID ASGs are nice too, but I'm not adding an ID to my list of February pickups. Sorry Nike.
