So 11's will be $200 ? sheesh

 

[calye2da]

Interesting so far; these have potential. Just need more pics & angles to really judge.

 

[glennp15]

another colorway

The blue one reminds me a bit of the hue of the Swingman 9s.

 

[Kobekobe]

they look okay, but definitely not worth $200. they'll probably be close to $300 here in canada not that i'm gonna buy them anyways..

 

[nikekid6]

LBJ soldiers + flightposite + ndstructs= this monster.

with that said, Im waiting on the LBJ 12s.
LBJ 10 and 11 have been huge dissapointments.

have u set foot in the 10s bruh?

 

[greenbean]

You can wear Foamposites casually, right?

Flightposites, Foamposite Max (Duncans), Zoom Rookies, Barkley-Posites etc etc.....

Dudes will have absolutely no problems wearing THESE casually.

all them shoes u name look ugly as crap worn causually

now if your wearing ballers or sweats its

but its all opinions

 

[bulls90s]

Hopefully Nike won't put out a bunch of bright colorways, because these will look best in stealth matte like colorways

I really hope so! Like the look of these so far but the price is .

Knowing Nike, they'll cook up some bright-*** colorways that previous sigs/models always made me :x.

Subtle flavors please.

 

[brewc1ty]

ready to see the Tumbler/batmobile blacked out colorway

yes im already givin nicknames



but really tho these are

kinda glad they dropped the Air max/zoom visible unit.. switches things up

 

[memphissfinest]

they have foamposite material.... any shoe with foamposite material is 200+ the barkley foams are $235

lord knows if it says foamposite they have to charge too damn much. i guarantee foamposite is cheaper than leather.

WHICH IS WHY THEY DON'T USE LEATHER ANYMORE

[senorroboto2k5]

Also what happened to the Lebron XI taking inspiration from the Jordan XI? people talking out of their *** again.

 

[memphissfinest]

it begins........Lebron's > Jordan

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

notserious

NOT IF THE HOOD HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT. THEY ARE NEVER LETTING JORDANS GO.

 

[lobotomybeats]

I love the swoosh placement. These look great. I like that you can see the flywire through the holes in foam too.

 

[flyerthandelta]

It gets better with time!

 

[imlive365]

I feel like the lows for these can look amazing. Hopefully a lot better then the x lows

D Wade's kicks look nicer, look like Jordan 10s, except I know Li-Ning actually uses real leather

 

[bostonmarc]

Those are not the soldiers as people have been saying. The soldiers will have the strap this year and the backwards swoosh. I don't have a pic at work but they are in the Nike team catalog for 2013

NOT IF THE HOOD HAS ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT. THEY ARE NEVER LETTING JORDANS GO.

Hood, burbs, rural, farm folk, nobody will. Jordan's started basketball shoes being the "it" thing. Lebrons have pink and teal colorways to sell shoes

 

[gingergotsole]

Damn I'm diggin the design. Sucks working at 16 knowing my whole paycheck will barely cover the cost of these shoes retail. But whatever it is what is .*Kanye Shrug*View media item 419648

i feel for the younger kids that are lebron fans.. i doubt many parents are willing to pay $200 for a shoe

 

[ceasalio]

I am officially in love. Shocked at first, sad to see vis zoom air gone but these are the toughest kicks I've ever seen. Love how the toe box isn't rounded all goofy like on the Xs. Next we just need pics of the soles and back of the shoe.

 

[thapointguy]

Don't worry, the 360 air/vis-zoom bag and midsole will be recycled onto the XI Lows and sold for $180

You can't be serious....

 

[you big dummy]

I must say I really like the look of these. It's like the distant cousin who's not really a cousin of the IV. The one Bron is wearing is just , looking like the batmobile.

Anyway messed around with it, trying to see the possible color blocking options and nike can do more with this than what they did with the Xs:

When I was examining the pic, you can see the flywire in the vents, the midplate, the vents or logo of some sort near the laces and the laces look like the same from the Xs. Outsole is similar looking to the FP1.

View media item 419207

I like how they finally decided to use a smaller more subtle swoosh that isn't overpowering the shoe like Lebrons 6 through 10.


Definitely a step in the right direction

 

[laces1983]

Not sure how I feel about these. Look like they could be Lebron Soldiers instead of the XI. They don't look bad, they just don't scream sig to me.

man what you said....these look like a random shoe on page "whatever" of the latest eastbay magazine!....
