Exactly - this is something different which instantly appeals to me. I like the use of different materials. None of the other CWs we've seen so far do anything for me. Hopefully they come up with some new concepts rather than recycling old CWs.he sounds serious to me, and i agree with him. they are very creative in terms of colors and textures. i understand why you have your opinion though, in my experience engineers always lack creativity and tend to have a more bland taste when it comes to outerwear...NOT SURE IF SERIOUS
and as far as the black/red color combo on a basketball shoe? i personally feel that was played out before lebrons sig line even started. but hey thats just me right?
serious.

I agree, shame the way lebrons line has went down hill, the gimmicks are at an all time high. And the corks are a perfect example of those gimmicks, right up there with the basketball XXII.

Lol na they arent. The Corks look ehh to me and are overhyped but at least they look better than their sample pairs :x
I like black based shoes and that type of black on the Carbons looks so nice but I'mma wait til they hit the outlets like every other mainly black pair of Lebrons eventually do lol. And that green on the Jades is niceeee lol

Now back to the lebron 10. I am from that 80's, 90's generation, so not a kid. In regards to the hypebeast talk, the corks actually have more class then ANY of the colorways thus far. So for me, if I get any the only 2 will be the Corks and Christmas (yes the I love red kicks and the these are very clean with a little flash). Decided no on the Jades and Olympics (I was liking them earlier on in this thread).
1. Corks
2. Christmas

I'm just messing with you fam lol. People like what they like and have no issue with that at all. I like the Cork because aesthetically speaking it's just more practical and functional in a everyday sense. Brown/tan is a easy color to pair with other colors.Lol na they arent. The Corks look ehh to me and are overhyped but at least they look better than their sample pairs

Did I miss something? So are the black carbons the ones lebron wore in the preseason game and the silver carbons are the ones posted earlier on?

Yeah LeBron wore the Black Carbons in game. I think you mean the Canary Diamonds for the silver looking ones?

Oh ok, yeah I know about the canary yellows, I just thought you guys were saying there was a black carbon and a just carbon. In the pics when lebron was wearing them in the game they looked more black.

Who said they were going to be a hyperstrike. All we know is that they will be limited.
Cork on Nike, cork on...

Naw homie, it is a fact! Haha! Lol! On a more serious note though, my overall point is all though there are MANY who ONLY buy because a shoe is limited there are those of us who are older and buy because we actually LIKE the shoes. Example easily could have had the gold medal lebron 10 at a discounted price, but just was convinced to get them, and I still don't want them. The jewels, are limited as well, and the floridian home editions are nice as well, but I don't want them, so a shoe being "limited" is not the determining factor for me.
As for the canary yellow colorway, this is actually a very nice subtle, but sick colorway, which if they were limited, I bet they would sellout. However if it is a GR, does NOT mean it is NOT a nice shoe.
