But the 9 elite is still the GOAT elite IMHO. Cheaper than all elites ($250). They're so comfortable, and the 4 colors they dropped in > X elite and XI elite set. There's so much they can do with the elite series and the best they come up with is bright, loud, boring colorways. What happened to the whole elite series brings the best materials out theory? I'd like to see at least one Carbon Fiber XI Elite instead of the metal plating. You right though, to each his own.To each his own I guess...I will agree that these are ridiculously overpriced but I like the 11 elites moreso than the 10s or 9s. The 11 elites are really comfortable (to me), stylish, and the colorways are nice to me. The only one I wanted out of the 10s was the white/oreo, and i didn't like the 9s. The 9s to me were less/flimsier materials compared to the regular model, for more money.
What really made me hold off with the elite "gold" series Bron was the lack of Gold accents on the Swoosh and tongue logo. Gold collection, why not make it gold logo and swoosh to go along with the gold metal pieces. Could make the mango color showing forgiveable but with that plain ol swoosh and logo? No thanks. Especially not for $275.
Lebron XI elite has been a big flop. All colorways have been lackluster. Unique, but not unique enough to spend $275+ tax on. Thanks Nike for saving me money to spend elsewhere.
