really interesting how the narrative of the elites has changed in just a few years. At first it was made for playoff competition. The next year the lakers are terrible and might not make the playoffs and Kobe wears them 2 months before the playoff starts. LeBron comes into this season wearing the elites from the past year because his flagship shoe for this year is not up to par. And the Kobe 9 is coming right out of the box with an Elite version. Now LeBron is wearing the elites a month before the playoffs. All while the $$$ continues to rise...

Take it one more step and history shows the soldiers used to be his playoff shoe. A lighter design for the playoffs.
 
Like who approved the retail version over the PE version?

for nike to create a sig shoe and then say that they need to change that shoe to make it lighter or stronger for the playoff run itself is a gimmick.

What an inauspicious debut for these Elite XIs so far... :{

And for $275 too :x

I just copped a pair of Miami Nights and I totally understand why Bron doesn't like to rock these. The insoles feel like bricks! no flexibility whatsoever! I'm pretty disappointed in this shoe. Especially with the price point that it's at!
 
That sole doesn't look clear to me...looks like a light grey.

I hate clear soles so those would definitely be copped on a discount, but we know PE don't release, unless they're the away elites but those are usually black with gold accents. A guy can only hope they aren't PEs

You can always return them if you bought them from a store. Best b-ball shoes, probably not. Also indicative of the signature player not being as involved as he should've been in the design.

Man, the Heat!
 
If anybody is still looking for the all-stars, Gretna, LA finishline has some sizes left. No size 12 (11.5 is there)
