upping production numbers?

Lebron personally doesn't want yall to have em just yet.

 

[jp7891]

If anyone is interested in the black/red X's West NYC got them in.

 

[r0cs finest]

I understand those who don't like the X silhouette/design in general but those that say the colorways have been lackluster I can't say the same. We have a unique Fireberry, Jades, new twist on Bred and Dunkman(whether or not you like em), Floridians which haven't been released to public before, Dolphins next year, creative Corks, etc.

Repped. If any of those were PEs hypebeasts would be crying like usual.

I'm not a fan of green but the seaweed is unique. Atomic green is a perfect compliment to that. Is the mesh part of the tongue dark grey and the top part of the tongue black? Can't tell.

Its Dark Grey

 

[twnty8]

Got my dunkmans in today also. Wasn't completely sold on them, but I pulled the trigger anyway. I really like them and will be rocking them immediately.

Pics dont do these justice.. in person

I got the dunkmans on swoosh, will be my hoop shoes. They were my last buy before I quit that nike part time job the day before black friday

Dunkmans for $108 couldn't pass on them!

 

[rajp01]

anyone know any legit sites to pre-order the lebron x corks cuz kicks-crew.com already sold out of em

 

[jordan23dotcom]

Lol, of course a limited shoe will sell out. It's LIMITED, not that many made, small production.... Blah blah blah. On top of that people think there is money to be made so they buy them up. If an all white shoe was limited it will sell out no doubt. Some of y'all just want the shoes you bought to of sold out because it makes you feel like you've accomplished something by getting them or to cover up your insecurities.

Hurting the shoe? What? You guys make money off of Nike sales? You LBJ? You want more limited shoes because you either want to sell them or because you need limited shoes to be "cool". Not targeting anyone, just a general statement

 

[sneakergameinsane]

These are really Nice in person the Atomic Green really Pops, To be honest if i didn't get a discount i would have not copped right away but I definitely would have copped down the road..
On to the pics..

Is that a lion or a thumb print on the mid-foot wing or am I seeing ish???

 

[kennyisdead911]

[space ghost]

Interesting.

and nope, still not worth $200+ dollars, even $180 is a bit of a reach.

 

[michigan]

damn its not even Dec. yet and we have already saw 19 colorways of the X's.    the prisms are starting to grow on me a little.   .  

 

[logan2015]

Personally, I love the Jades and Floridians.
People would be fiending for these if they had the limited tag, now people saying easy pass and they are ugly. Hypebeasts

thank you!!!

Fine by me, this gives me a chance to recuperate money-wise and to potentially cop these on discount! 

 

[air jsarg]

Corks Late december for sure, im sure they are limited as ****

I agree the flood of colorways aren't the issue for me. Neither is the design I like it. The problem for me with this shoe is that compared to when the 9 released there was no comp with nike's other lines so it made the choice for copping that much easier. Now IMO the hyperposites are a better shoe design wise. The price tag isn't a huge deal to me but I can see why it bothers other people.

I personally like all the options, there are a few I like a lot, and since they aren't flying off the selves I can cop at a discount its a win win.

 

[memphissfinest]

walked into my local HOH and saw every single bron X colorway besides crown jewels and olympics sitting... tried on floridians and jades..and passed on both.

y'all can say whatever y'all want but y'all know deep down we like our jordans GR, and our brons limited

QFT.

I'm still weak at how the Corks are suppose to be so "Premium" I mean seriously a shoe with Cork on it I can see the leather on the tongue being more premium but on every bottle I've every popped the cork was the cheapest thing on the bottle Seriously ou can go to 7 Eleven and get one of those cheap $4 bottles of wine with a cork in the top bottom line it's nothing "Premium" about Cork just my two cents though

 

[flyerthandelta]

Im still trying to figure out what i could rock with the floridains tho????

 

[axelrod]

Look what i found at my local mom and pops store. Seems like that supposed quickstrike is closer than we think. Almost pulled the trigger. Sexy as hell in person. 

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

same here on the floridans

um bro, i had them in my hands and inspected them thoroughly and its a ******g special *** shoe. Its synthetic cork like material but feels like nubuck and is layered with premium leather. 
I promise u when that shoe drops, it will be massive and will turn the tide with the lbj x. I still regret not taking photos
