I'm not a fan of Lunarlon as I've used them in running shoes - but they don't break down after one wear, it's usually after 3 months.
This cat has had a heavy schedule for the last 2-3 years so you have to wonder where/when he wear tests the upcoming model.

Nike did a good job on these. I really want the blue ones and the Arkon vs Miami.

I’m purely speculating here……but maybe LeBron needs to be more hands-on in the development of his shoes. Sure he wear-tested them, but maybe not well enough if he’s having problems now.
And maybe Nike got a bit complacent, because everything they’ve made for him in the past has worked, no matter what type of tech they’ve used….zoom, max air, whatever. They've mixed things up so much. I wouldn’t be surprised if they said to themselves, “LeBron is such a beast, he can wear any type of shoe we give him.”
Whereas Kobe is very demanding, and specific about what he wants. I read in a Bill Simmons article that Kobe goes to Beaverton and practices with motion detectors on. And he gives the designers lots of feedback, always challenging them to keep making things better, thinner and lower-pro, which they love.
Again, I could be completely wrong……just a theory.

was going to buy a pair to hoop in, but if theres issues with pain on the toe then I'll buy a different pair of shoes. Maybe the shoes might be an issue for people with flat feet, but most of the lebrons that have came out have catered to people with flat feet.
Any hoopers have any impressions on these. How do they feel when making hard cuts, comfort, traction, durability?

if the same shoe this discussion is about was sold at payless, same specs and everything...you wouldnt "buy it because you like it." so while i get what you're saying...
there is something fundamentally wrong with the fact that nike is selling a sig shoe that the player doesnt even wear. its not a case of not wearing a certain colorway, but the fact that he is backpedaling from the whole eleventh edition itself. ( i really think that if the lunarlon is the issue, nike will fix it by modifying LBJs insert to a non lunar model)
couldnt be the fit of the upper...i really think nike is smart enough to take a cast of lebrons foot (fugged up pinky toe and all) and create a shoe tailor made to his foot.
all this v2 talk, i'll believe it when i see it
and
JP isnt going anywhere...he has done a pretty good job with the line overall

Yeah, it's like that on my King's Prides and my Aways. I wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't see your post.
