OFFICIAL 2022 LeBron 2 Retro Post: FINALLY

[Dave East]

A couple of gems here! Hoping that the Laker 3s, HWC 7s, Shooting Star 7s and SB 15s release sometime the line!… and for a discount! LOL

I was DEVASTATED when the Animal 2s and Purple 1s lost.

That's an interesting point I never considered about the number of colorways they do with models now vs back in the day. It's almost like an album with too many songs, there might be some bangers but it hurts the overall experience. Compare that to a masterpiece album that's relatively short, like Illmatic, you appreciate each track even more. Like for example, the AJ12 only had 5 colorways, but there were no misses.

This has been discussed a lot on NT. Most shoes were getting 3-4 colors in the 90s. Now shoes are getting 20-30 colors and it kills the shoe.

Yet we’ve got those 2 shoes before the actual winners Dave East . Talk about wild. I wonder what’s next from that “tournament”?

EDIT: wasn’t there talk about the steweys or something releasing at the end of the yr? Or am I imagining things? Lol

Wrong thread

Haven't heard anything about Stewies...Fruity Pebble 4's have been talked about in the last year or so.

 

[vinnuendo]

That bracket was always so trash though because no SVSM or dunkman. I cannot think of any two more coveted recurring lebron PEs. I always thought of SVSM as lebron's version of jordan's UNC colorways.

This…

Dunkman 4’s and Championship 10’s were the only pairs on that bracket that were even remotely worthwhile…

Dunkman 2’s, SVSM / CTK 2’s, Home 2’s, Fruity Pebbles 4’s, All Star Game 4’s, Home PE 10’s, Ohio State 9’s, SVSM 9’s…All on my list if they ever decide to drop them…FP 4’s the only ones even rumored to release and that’s been circulating since early 2022 …

Nike is strange…They’ve shown a willingness to release Bron’s PE’s but still manage to sit on the ones people actually want…

 

[checks mcgee]

that bracket is so bad lol

 

[pharaohrache]

South Beach 15s is the only must for me. Second would be the 10s and then the 16s. That’s it off that bracket.

Actually, are those 8s the “Portland” pair? I’d take those too

I get what you saying, but it would kind of be more like Laney cws

I get why you said Laney, but SVSM is essentially like MJ’s Carolina considering Bron went from SVSM to the league like Jordan from UNC to the league.

The only Lebron model that had a ton of cw that all were bangers was the 9. There was not 1 cw that I hated, and I actually DESPISE anything OSU related.

 

[headdetective]

11s had some good colorways

I tapped out after that model

 

[g-time]

Think both the 10s and 11s had solid colorways.

 

[truenike81]

9 10 11 best cw

 

[illustrayt]

Facts then they drop something like these with the coveted nicknames of “chosen 1’s”

That’s actually one of my favorite cws for the 20s lol

 

[detroitonfire]

That’s actually one of my favorite cws for the 20s lol

That’s fine I’m saying if Nike commissioned you to make a chosen 1 colorway for Lebron will it come out looking like that?

 

[thekillerj23]

These sitting as expected, not 1 person should even comsider copping at that $250 retail price

 

[PKilroy5]

I feel you, lets see how long that size 13 sits!

 

[Stink Linx]

I feel you, lets see how long that size 13 sits!

Im wit cha as a big footer but sometimes you gotta take that chance. Its one of those “if its meant to be, then its meant to be” scenarios. I feel like these are a must for the collection but not at that retail price.

 

[g-time]

need my size 13 but at 150-sub 150 lol

 

[dmxgod]

Ended up getting my 10.5 for $175
One of my favorite sneaker releases of the year

 

[spiderjericho]

Where are they $175?

 

[truenike81]

I feel you, lets see how long that size 13 sits!

13 sold out

 

[kstrick12]

I should have just bought my 13 when I had the chance
