I DON'T SEE THE POINT REALLY IF NORMAL CONSUMERS CAN'T EVEN BUY ANYWAY. MIGHT AS WELL NOT EVEN SHOW THEM TO THE PUBLIC BUT WE ALL KNOW NIKE CAN'T REFRAIN THEMSELVES FROM GLOATING/MOCKING/STUNTING

Much as I like my boy KD, I think Bron will likely run away with it again.so...mvp is locked down?

But stunting and gloating IS the modern sneaker head culture. It's only a problem when lebron and Nike does it. That's hilarious.

at the suitsRegardless the elite model looks really good imo
Glad to see the textured swoosh. Still want some lace tips but whatever
Also glad to see the medial side pics. Much better then the medial side on the regular X
Still not crazy about that colorway. Not gonna go as far and call them "trash" but they're not for me

Sneakernews is saying April 28th is RD for all 3 "superhero" Elite sigs. Someone posted in this theead that the elites would debut April 6. These superhero's should be the first release though, right?

At those suits. So much corn b.
Shoe def looks better than those poor pics we saw earlier in the thread. Still not worth the MSRP for me
Who exactly is the target demographic for such a corny ad campaign? As a teen in the mid 90s I wasn't even remotely interested in the Power Rangers and the Centurions had come and gone.
Are they really marketing $200+ kicks towards 8 year olds?
Centurions

Ok. At this point nike might as well go crazy over the top 80s nostalgia with captain power branding. Lol. Shoes that have starship prints and have laser lights. Haha

Did Nike not learn from last year's elites? The only one that sold out at full price was the Miami vice. The home, away, and taxi all ended up on sale or clearance.
So the solution is to increase the price +$10.
Brilliant!

^Maybe the plan is too make them more limited this time around. That's the only strategy that seems to make sense to me, hell there's shops around here that still have last years Elites in stock.

I just want to see the other cws...I like the design a bit more with better pictures, but will need a really strong CW to justify buying them at retail...

There is a pair releasing in May that is a Dade County pair. The launch locations only said Dade County. Had 2 seperate release dates so we may see something similiar to the south beach. It's a 10 high and the description was Turqouise/volt/? I can't remember what the last color was. I'll check the release calendar when I go back to work tomorrow
