LeBron XI WTL(US 9/13), Maison Collection(8/23) - Updated 8/18

[sooperhooper]

Looks like a generic foam shoe, def not sig worthy imo, esp for a player as popular as him.

 

[sanzer]

These are fire. I guarentee that they will grow on everyone, just like EVERY other Lebron. I remember people saying they hated the swoosh placement on the X and hated the shape of the IX, now look at them.

The triangular look makes them look like a reebok shoe

These are exactly what I thought of when I saw the first blueish colored pair

^^ wow on ur text. Dese dont look noding like dem past lebron. Dese r da real original. Neber b4 hav der ben sum thang similar 2 dese. Maybe the flightposite but da posite on dis lenron has a great shape.

Is this real life?

Sure, it's a good looking shoe. But as a signature, it's a disappointment. Where's the innovation Jason Petrie???? This design is way too safe. It looks good because it has been done before and it has looked good before (looks like a foamposite/flightposite/barkely hybrid inspiration.) No risks taken. No groundbreaking design. Just a safe design. This should have been another hybrid (I dunno, the Flightposite Barkley Kidd Griffey 4???) from nike. Not the signature shoe for the greatest athlete alive today. Remember when Tinker was in his prime? When Tinker would come up with an Air Jordan design that redefined shoe design and American Culture?

 

[greenbean]

did Jason designs these?

 

[tommythekang]

The vents are huge doe ionnno but overall they aiteeeee I can see me playing outdoor ball in these

Redefining American what?!



All this time I thought he was designing shoes....

I'm feeling these.. the price is the only thing that bothers me a little, but if a colorway comes out that i really like ill grab a pair..

 

[sosmoney23]

XI's look nothing like soldiers, but they remind me a lot of the flightposites (which i love). Feeling the XI's a lot as of now

 

[da shoefreak]

 Guess Nike retroing the Ultraposites and calling them Lebron XIs.

 

[executive76]

I see potential. I remember seeing the samples pictures on Twitter awhile back and thinking they were Soldiers.

nvm.. let me keep it about the shoes

 

[clippernation]

For everyone saying the Lebron XIs are just the Zoom Soldier 7s...

...these are the Zoom Soldier 7s

 

[nomadicsole21]

These are exactly what I thought of when I saw the first blueish colored pair

x2 quote a mix of those and all sorts of foam and you get the LBJ XIs. Not satisfied but they do look ambitious.

 

[bossplaya0625]

Kinda shocked we're seeing these so early. Not sold yet but Im interested so far

 

[sonicjewel]

A invisibility cloak cw would be crazy on this shoe

 

[Bert.]

call me crazy but these look cool

wouldnt wear nor cop but ill admit they look cool

 

[luckyraye]

These look like the 4's which i freaking love so ill be picking up a couple pairs. Not too many tho with that price tag

 

[dondada]

they just ok

 

[Nipsey3000]

i dont mind the shoe not having the zoom max...but it just doesnt have that lebron XI umph that i expected. that is a zoom soldier VII caliber shoe. just like the jumpman shoes didnt have that yearly jordan model quality and x factor, this shoe doesnt have it either. i swear, nike needs to just do a job fair right here on NT and put some people in there that can do better.

they just cant get right, they the shoe right, and they cant get the colorways right. they get the colorways right, then they cant get the design right.

they release the wrong colorways year after year and make the best ones ultra limited. then they just cant get right on the ID. it seems like they are consistently a year behind every year.

and then on top of that it feels like the designer feels like the shoe has to be super busy to look good. part of the reason why the jordan XI is one of the best shoes of all time is that it is simplistic innovation...not just busy for the sake of being busy.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Not my cup of tea..

 

[Ube]

These look nice when they have the right cw on em that bl/red/white pair looks and I don't even like shoes that are black and red.

Nah you can clown him but that guy has a point, The Jordan line was a huge part of American culture, its pretty much the reason why they're sneaker forums like this
