OFFICIAL LEBRON X+ NIKE ID THREAD

[meek meals]

What's the price tag?

all 3 are avail.....

180, 200 and 270

Aw man. I hope they don't have that BS "This Color Is Not Available In The Non-Plus Model" message when I try to make the upper base anything other than Black or Grey.

Right now I want Reverse Liverpools. Teal upper with Translucent Red Sole.

Tuesday needs to hurry up.

Juiced. Im gonna limit myself to 2 at first. But about the sb talk--nike's version will probably be an "elite" version, and they wont let us ID elites just like with the 9s. So, problem solved. They get more people to make IDs than ever and also still get to sell a sb pair that even people with sb IDs will probably buy

 

[mullins7388]

Don't they usually have a Facebook app available early where you can sample ID but not purchase. I swear they did that for the Kobe VII and LeBron 9.

 

[kixxrus]

Hope these ID samples are legit .....HWC, SOUTH BEACH, floridian AnD A SPACE JAM colorway will be made ... lebron 7s had a ton of sick color schemes that did not drop

 

[jordanscrub]

The ID options for the 10 already make it look like the 10 could be one of the best IDs ever.

 

[beats05]

Looking forward to Tuesday and seeing everybody post their ideas here. NT is always good for some inspiration for the less creative among us (i.e. me).

Gunna be some crazy colorways I can tell by everyones enthusiasm. I cant wait that long for kicks plus Im not sold on the X's. I need custom LBJ 9 lows tho. Id be too hype for those. 

 

[jacktown83]

Wonder if there is a difference in the sheen and will you be able tools something similar to the Crown Jewels

 

[bluntobject50]

Would be pretty cool if Nike gave the option to ID every official colorway that gets released after release date at the ID pricing. Nike sells out on the initial production stock at retail price, Nike gets the money that would've went to the aftermarket on ID pairs for the people that struck out on release day, and Resellers cease to exist. Interesting...

 

[itsaNYthing]

HWC

 

[bluntobject50]

I hope you can do something along the lines of the KD IV with the reflective camo, anodized, and matte.

I think Nike purposely doesn't allow you to do so. I.e. the two different versions of the 9s and their differences instead of having one version that allowed you to choose the foam or the weave.

I think that would be an excellent idea! Considering you could build Crown Jewels for $315 rather than buy resell for $800

 

[lewi1913]

Do the IDs drop at 12pm EST tomorrow night? Or do we know the time yet?

I'm sure Nike must have a reason for not giving these kinda options. But I honestly don't see not ONE downfall or negative to doing this. Nike would be raking in the money. There would literally be damn near no aftermarket anymore. They could release the official color than a month later give the option to ID that exact same shoe for a limited time, maybe a month or two, then stop. Where is the bad at for Nike?

EXACTLY!!! You miss the first wave at $270+tax, no worries just ID it in a month for $315 or $335+tax from Nike instead of paying a reseller $800. EVERYBODY (except resellers) wins, please someone tell me where the bad would be. You'd still get the high demand and release day frenzy because people still want to buy the cheaper retail release day price so the demand isn't hurt. And Nike gets all the money from those willing to drop $800 on the aftermarket shoe with ID's.

I never said there was any bad but it would be nice to be able to ID a pair I missed out on.

 

[andfattoo]

It is a good idea.

 

[iheartboost]

Will create some Dolphin IDs...

I KNOW RIGHT! Nike would become its own kinda decent priced reseller...

This sounds like a really good idea, I'm on board.  If only Nike would be too though.

 

[bluntobject50]

I really hope they offer a silver upper.

 

[jacktown83]

I was wondering I the ID's had the option for a clear sole, but after looking at the sample pics that released it looks like the dynamic flywire is the same color as your sole. So I guess not.. For now.

 

[kermitthefloer]

I personally feel they should not add colors or make schemes possible to fully mimic releases. Maybe something close to the release, but not fully.

I too have missed plenty releases and hate the resellers for what they do, but end of the day I cannot blame them, because we would all do the same if we were in the position. I believe the rarity/difficultness adds to the whole culture at times. The same as with other collectibles around. I do believe for actual sneakerheads the game is beyond crowded with hypebeast/wholesellers.

So you don't blame them and don't want what they do to be taken away from them because you'd do it too...but you hate them....ummmmm, what?
