Nike LeBron 19 - Disco Season

[BronGod6]

Wow

 

[Blue Mamba]

Kid makes a better colorway than Nike

 

[Remy LeBeau]

Not sure how I feel about the lightning bolts all over but fire regardless

 

[g-time]

Those are nice

 

[6pac]

yeah these may be the only 19 i buy

Jit came harder than all the colorways they dropped so far

"The all-new LeBron 19 Low is landing for the first time, and it's coming with a colorful design twist. As LeBron pushes the game and his creativity even further, inside of this LeBron 19 Low’s Air unit, you’ll find a new touch of Nike Basketball innovation. Inspired by the wizardry of Magic Fruity PEBBLES™ cereal, especially when the crispy Red and Yellow flakes turn the milk in your bowl from White to Purple, the clear Air unit in this LeBron 19 Low shifts to a vibrant, translucent Purple when exposed to light — essentially creating two colorways out of thin air. Going together like cereal and milk, the "Magic Fruity PEBBLES" LeBron 19 Low showcases this color-changing technology for the first time on a Nike sneaker. So lace up, grab a spoon, and celebrate National Cereal Day with your two favorites: Magic Fruity PEBBLES cereal and LeBron's latest signature style."

I could see these being classics in the line because of their subtlety.

It will be interesting to see the release on these.

Ok, that’s a fair point.

It’s about the center of gravity of your foot when in the shoe, meaning a high top can be unstable and a low top can be extremely stable.

So are those not an actual colorway? Just a fan created pair?

 

[superstarlord]

So are those not an actual colorway? Just a fan created pair?

they are pairs designed by children who are patients at the Doernbecher Children's Hospital. They usually have a special release along with auctioned pairs too.

Truthfully I wish they only had the auction on these, always irks me to see people reselling and profiting off of sick kids, but thats just me.

Gawdam, kids be making better pairs than Nike, smh

Does at least some of the money go back and help the kids out?

 

[g-time]

Yes there are proceeds from the sales and the auction as well.

 

[ventureblake]

What irks me more is why Nike doesn’t flood the market with them to offset the resellers and to benefit the kids

 

[Remy LeBeau]

If there's any shoe to do a pre-sale for it's the doernbechers

Now that is an excellent idea

When the shoes are initially released and/or auctioned from Nike, yes most of the proceeds goes to the hospital.

If someone were to win the auction for say, $1k, they own the shoe and can put it up on stockx or goat to flip it for more in their own pocket, which we all agree is pretty nasty behavior.

I’ve been on NT for years, I’ve seen this statement for years and I never really got it. Now it clicked.
Being younger all the LeBrons I mainly wanted was the pairs he wore in game.
He’s worn the 19 maybe 10x and that’s pushing it this whole year. That’s crazy. I heard the air unit was too big but after seeing them in person they don’t look too high but, I’m not 6’8 260lbs.
I remember he had issues with the 12 they pulled them from shelves and fixed what the issue was. If my memory serves me correctly there was some issue with the XI lebron and Foamposite material truly doesn’t get along.

The 19 might be the Air Jordan 2/10 of the line. Nice shoe, lot of potential but it just doesn’t have that ummph to them.
I feel Nike continues to implement all of their new tech into shoes and it’s been hit or miss.
Him not wearing these takes some appeal away from me. I still like the Tune Squads, Breds, HWC(are “ok” not for retail”) I’ll get those down the line and wait for the 20 at this point.

Definitely makes the appeal greater for the athlete to wear the shoe, although when he does they're usually in colorways unattainable for us. They actually make his air units smaller than the ones released to the public, so I don't quite think that's the issue on these. With the 11s it was the Foamposite on the toe box that he didn't like.

I still love this model even if the man himself won’t wear them. Breds came in just in time for Sunday pickup runs

I love the 19 as well. Whether he wears them or not that's his prerogative but they're extremely comfortable and very aesthetically pleasing to me

Amen bro. Just sucks that, in previous times, we could’ve probably gotten some CWs on pretty solid discounts. I just don’t know if that will happen anymore with the seemingly scarce numbers for most CWs compared to the past, pre-pandemic.

I would only rock these for casual wear, when/if I get them. They just don’t fit my play style

I do agree they look hella good to the eye

 

[illustrayt]

They should've done a Cocoa Pebbles one!

These are the first signature shoes in a while at this price point where you look at them and say “wow” - can’t say the same about models in the past close to this price.
