Bring back the AND1 mixtape sized shorts and jerseys... it’s time lol. That early 00s style was wild

TJ Ford is waiting patiently for this...

Honestly feel that Nike has done a horrible job in terms of drop cadence. Giving these terrible LA CWs prime shine, saving breds, etc. Lakers colorway detail is excellent, but it doesn’t photograph as well.

Other take on the 18 - the fit of the 17 is easily the best of the Knit era. 18 fit isn’t terrible, but it’s hard to get past how annoying those air bubbles are.

It was really bad timing for these to drop right before finals...we'll have almost 2 months since we've seen em on the court. Lebron probably should've just worn Final player editions of the 17's/7's and waited until this season before breaking them out

Give it more time.

yep, history repeats itself. like a sinusoidal wave.

So no word on the Sisterhoods dropping in the States?

I feel like that exclusive access that some people got is all we're getting. I wish they'd release though. If you're going to drop the LA By Days & the Reflections colorways, may as well at least give us a shot at the creamsicles.

Loved that price of the LA Nights pair...but didn't quite love the colorway. Nike has the Laker pair included in their cyber Monday sale... plus cashback on Rakuten is 15%, might have to strike now on those

Hopefully the AZG hit that $110 price.

how do the 18 fit compared to the 17?

 

[xplosivejeff]

I’d be extremely surprised if the melons don’t eventually release in the states. Nike had them as an early access release, not exclusive.

I've only tried the 17's on in store, but the fit reminds me of the 16s...they feel more like a low IMO

 

[g-time]

They’re more like the 16s fit wise but way more cushiony/spring feel.

How did Nike not do a single thing for the championship?

they did reverse reflections or whatever. But exactly what you said.

 

[noblekane]

welp got my first lebron 18. the 25 percent off plus the 15 percent ebates on nike.com was enough for me to move the needle on them. got the laker colorway.

 

[noblekane]

hibbett has the laker and james gang colorways for $140 plus tax

i should have waited

 

[grittyman]

I'm thinking about the same deal bro.

At least with Nike if you don't like them you can return em, plus depending on where you're at Nike will probably ship them faster...plus the 15% cash back softens the blow.

But I feel you!
