Father’s Day gift to me…. From ME

Didn’t plan on getting these NXXT AMPD’s but they were $70 at Shiek (in store)

 

[spiderjericho]

How much were the red joints?

$120 from NDC… but that’s after a 15% code and a gift card. Probably could wait for further discounts but I’m a sucker for all red shoes

Lace swap… someone had to do it lol

 

[frank mucus]

Reminds me of air bakins

 

[grittyman]

I have to find some that aren’t as light, wanted to see the Reverse Grinch look…

Already swapped into the solid rope laces, much simpler cleaner look imo

Haven't been in this thread in a grip. I would like to reiterate to everyone that the dragon pearls are one of the sickest colorways I've personally ever owned in a lebron sneaker. If it weren't for them trying to force 17 colorways per month down our throat, I don't think these would be quite so overlooked. Do yourself a favor and grab those

Question for anyone w/ the newer, plasticky version... how long did it take before they felt broken in, or are they always gonna feel mad stiff?

I don't mind having to break them in but just curious what others experiences have been like

I tried breaking them in during a league game. Big mistake lol. I got cooked and my feet hurt. I took them off and haven't tried them since lol. I’ll give them another try soon.

Bunch of 21s on sale with 20% off, reallllly tempted to pick up a pair finally.

 

[grittyman]

Brought these for a pickup run today and by the end of the run they def felt more broken in…

Crazy thing is these you can really see the upper of the shoe getting soaked by sweat…check it out

Now I don’t know if these felt less breathable than the original ones, that’s not really something that matters all that much to me but I’ll keep it in mind for future reference. Other than that, I’m also curious as to how soft this material will feel once completely broken in… has that old Hyperfuse feel to it, but we’ll see.

Price finally hit my range and I couldnt pass on these . So fire in person, I still plan on grabbing the textiles and multi color pair too.
