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

[foamhead1017]

nice pick up, especially for that price at sneaker con. You know they could of got more for them from somebody there. Nice come up!

Thanks. Yea I was thinking the same thing

It's good to see everyone copping WTL's for such mediocre resale prices and retail

I remember when everyone thought resale was gonna be $500+ after the U.S. release |I

 

[leftright]

^Yup. I just picked up a pair for $300 as well off CL. No waking up early standing in line nor computer. Yesterday, just woke up late, checked CL, and picked up.

These new/overnight resellers didn't see that high instant resale value they were hoping for to make that quick buck. Therefore it actually made it very much so convenient for the people that really wanted them to wear/collect/ball in.

Call me crazy, but I have a feeling that the value of the WTL XI's are gonna sky rocket as days/months/year goes; just like how the Concord XI's did in '95 - and those newb resellers are gonna kick themselves in the head for not having patience.

Thank you resellers - really. You did your job with the utmost respect to your community. Took from the mall shoppers and gave to the fans - wish it was always like this.

Correct, most will do this. I will hold on to my two remaining pairs until value goes back up again

you could say this with any number of shoes...but the only difference is there are hundreds of wannabe corgis doing the very opposite of what you're saying. there are deff people getting rid of em early but there are a lot hoarding them to pull them out when they think there will be value.

Is corgi like a new slang word for something? Thought it was a type of dog

 

[rl_wayne]

^He's referring to corgi shoes, who's a well known reseller that's hoarded things for years before selling them.

XI's may have not been the most comfortable Bron ever but it will definitely go down as one of the greatest sigs based on colorways IMO

Only model remotely close to them would be the IX's with the VII's as a close runner up :\

man as much as I hate to admit that, IXs had great colorways on an ugly shoe, but I think the VIIs edge it with the IXs being the runners up, i'm sure your argument would be that bangs are the best and I challenge that with red carpets, and raise you hero pack

Lebrons before the Miami era were bland as hell, IMHO.

I skimmed and what I took from the article made me happy knowing that the ******** that destroy releases were unable to capatalize off of WTL's this time around therefore call them a flop

If the shoe being produced in higher numbers and resellers not tripling their profit on the flip of the resale of their purchases means flop I pray that every limited releases flops from here on

Giving em' that work.... Repped

I'm led to believe that the WTL XI's may be the turning point we've been waiting for in the shoe game.... just sayin'

All of this.

I was reading that article like

"Aw boo hoo. Poor resellers could only sell the WTL for $100 over retail because they were more widely available than previous "What The" shoes."

"They're a flop."

**** outta here.

 

[Mr Dink]

Man, whatever it takes for a shoe to "flop", I'm all for it. Mass produce the **** out of them, put Retros on ID, etc.

I think it's just been a shift in tastes/trends the past few years to have brighter, louder, crazier looking basketball shoes in general. Before the last 5-6 years or so, basketball sneakers generally didn't really feature many colorways that were all that crazy or loud. You'd get one Home, one Away, and maybe 2-3 Alternate colors for the most part. You never really saw neon green, pink, bright orange, etc type of colors, and if so, it was just used sparingly, not as a dominant color on the upper.

 

[barbarianbob]

Hey Nike if your listening is it too much to ask if you could go back to the staple colorways with the XII's perhaps add some simplicity to the madness :\

Homes
Aways
SVSM or CTK
Birthdays
Blackout
BHM
ASG
Playoff Home
Playoff Away
EXT #1 (Suede 1)
EXT #2 (Suede 2)
EXT #3 (Denim)
3 lows ( Sprite, ID4 and a Summer flavor)
EXT #4 (Gimmick IE. Cork , Crown Jewel)
Champ Pack (mass produced)

And leave the rest of the madness to ID

Im bored try not to take my optimism to seriously

WTL XIIs tho?

If you seriously believe this, you don't know much about shoes. It's been a good 6 months or more that resell on expected high value sneakers was a flop. Nike has over produced every pair and had a new release every weekend, sometimes 3 or 4 in one week. People simply can't afford to keep up.

Pocketing a $100 profit if you had 7 to 15 pair is a flop 

 . Look at is this way, not many small time sellers is sitting on $250 plus . September to around mid November is a slow period for moving shoes. The Iphone6 release. Everybody saving funds for late November and December. Smart resellers now how to move the WTL.  Lol on to the next sneaker,  this is beating a dead horse.

9 > 7 > 11 IMO

the 9...most comfortable for me

 

[The7onius]

V2 8s are the most comfortable.
