What was the story behind it? I first saw them in person i didnt even know it was one of the top lebron shoes..just reminded me of timberland boots

I'm not mistaken---cork from champagne aka he finally won a chip, right? Even tho he won for the first time in the 9s, I may be mistaken, but I'm sure somebody will correct me if I'm wrong

Paying tribute to LeBron James and his first championship, Nike Sportswear has created a special lifestyle edition of the LEBRON X shoe that is made of genuine cork.

Releasing Saturday, February 23, this LEBRON X NSW cork edition honors the tradition of cork-popping champagne celebrations. James celebrated the occasion last June when he and his teammates brought home another championship for Miami.

The LEBRON X NSW cork edition features many of the same characteristics of the LEBRON X performance shoe but with a unique, personalized touch to the upper.

Expect the unexpected as 2013 will welcome additional basketball footwear surprises. Nike Sportswear will create distinctive versions of Nike signature basketball shoes, all remixed with premium materials for non-performance use.

Don't know if posted. Sports Authority had Independence day low for $145.

Figures 

Well I paid below that so none until they're under $100.

Ok which XI EXT was so bad that you had to cut them from the total smurf or denim?

Yeah ONLY the KC EXT's the rest of the XI's are horrid in comparison to the X EXT's and I have the denim XI (hidden somewhere deep in my closet) which I don't think are that bad just a little boring in comparison to the X EXT. Quality wise I don't believe any XI EXT including the KC's hold a match to the X EXT's.

agreed but im not sure what to say about the KC quality yet. id compare them to the Mints since they both have black suede. I know a lot of the mints were ashy larry type which makes me pause on how the KC will be.

Wonder if losing the championship put a damper on Nike's press and self hype of the KC... Looking back at that cork press release... Nike created a monster with that one. Look at the love that they're giving the KC... Nothing lol.

was a great sales pitch by nike they've managed to get resellers to cop every EXT just because of the corks hype

True but I was even talking about the interior leather. The leather in the interior of the XI EXT's is the same as the Lifestyle version which is lightly padded with that stitched pattern while the X EXT's had that real nice soft leather that and that quilted leather patterns.

I wouldn't say that. EXT X did well as a whole and was well received. I think people thought the momentum would carry over to the XI line which it didn't for the most part (they were bad).
