The Aways seem to look better/worse as each pic gets posted. Tried to get a glimpse at the Stonecrest Footlocker (which has a gangload of KP's, if anyone in Atlanta is looking still) but the clerk said they didn't even have them in stock yet (which I doubt, but whatever). I got a connect now though, at another Footlocker, so if I see them in person and decide that I want them (very likely) I can get them with her employee discount.

Still find the packaging odd. I'm usually down for a cool box, but this one just doesn't look appealing.

I still can't help but laugh every time I see that special packaging 
. I get that they were trying to be creative with the whole "forging iron"/armor theme, but we went from:
View media item 633079View media item 633077View media item 633081View media item 633083View media item 633084View media item 633085View media item 633086
to a sheet of neoprene:
View media item 633087View media item 633088
I love the XIs, but they deserved something nicer

i actually like the case, since its kind of like a suitcase look.. i dunno.. not worth a 50 dollar price increase though.

What makes people think that the price increase is based on the special packaging?
The previous model had price increases on pairs just because nike called them special.
crown jewels & gold medals were $270
Bhm & asg were 200.
Theres never any real justification for price increases with nike, youre paying more because nike knows how thirsty you are.
thats it, lol

Nike can screw off if they are gonna make the Forging Iron/Big Bangs $250.
What is the reasoning behind this? Especially since they come in the regular LeBron box.

In the promo pics they had jewls on the laces so maybe they brought back nike plus? lol

I was all in for the FI at 200 If I could get them at 250 not even worth it. Basically pick up the whole asics christmas pack for 50 more bucks. Better designs and inspirations anyways. FI are really just the Big Bang Xis..... that is what NIKE is trying to play off of anyway.

only thing i noticed about the Forging Irons is that they have a lace lock

FI $10 cheaper than going with FI iD and you don't have to wait a month. Just to put it out there. lol

A 3M lace lock no less.
Believe the extra $50 might have to do with them being Nike + enabled?

The extra 50$ for the FI is to make up for all the KP's that are still sitting and for all the ones that sold under retail!

If they were Nike+ enabled wouldn't the box usually make some sort of mention to that?

I think it would say something on the box, right?

IMO 3M is one of the most overrated things on a shoe. yeah its cool and i like it on my All Star 10s, but how often does anyone ever see it? a split second when a flash comes on for a pic? not to mention most of the time you can only see it if its in a picture that was taken with a flash anyways. |I

Lol right because Nike just printed up all the price tags for the Forging Irons last week?
And I don't think the lace locks are any indication that the shoe is +enabled

Nike+ was a fail I'm sure they learned from that.

Nike has already confirmed the XI won't feature Nike +.
