Official Revised LeBron X Thread: Pressures Launch 11/2 Details pg. 1

[sk33termcg33]

^ you mad bro? Lol

 

[CHAOSE57]

I wish they release the regular olympic X with the red swoosh

 

[agarcia790]

Idk im just not a big fan of the Xs yet...guess ill wait for more colorways

 

[T0INE]

FYI, I updated the OP with the info provided by jmadidas.

I also included his post about the release dates of upcoming LeBron X launches. I intend to consolidate all release date info provided by him or anyone else credible into that one post. Hopefully that will cut down on all the repetitive "when does the _________ release?" posts we've seen in old LeBron threads..

 

[andfattoo]

typo for the Aways? normally Nike releases the regular version Aways at the end of October.. and we already saw pics of those so i dont understand why there will be a 290 version of Aways also if this info is correct...
i am tho very interested in the "black diamond" colorway

the 23rd of Oct is the end of the month right? (no pun) And that sounds about right, the first GR usually drops around the 15th, or a week or so before the beginning of the season.

 

[thapointguy]

Aways are the Breds? Black Diamonds are triple blacks? Need clarification on those two.

Thanks for keeping up with the thread man.

he said we haven't seen the aways and the Black Diamonds yet. Im quite sure either hes hasn't or isnt at liberty to tell us what they look like.

yeah i meant the "basic" version of aways usually drop at the end of Oct. but according to that info the Aways that are releasing at the end of Oct. are the $290 version.. it just didn't make sense to me



on another note...the $290 (X+) version will NOT be his playoff shoe then?

I was assuming the 10s were gonna be like the 9s where the more expensive version is for the Playoffs but as of right now it looks like the X+ colorways will be releasing alongside the regular X so it doesn't make sense to me why he would be wearing the X+ in the Playoffs... my b if this was already mentioned or there is already info on it

I am wondering the same thing, is he going to wear a different shoe for the playoffs that would cost less than the regular season model. I honestly think that Nike will take a look and see approach on the playoff shoe, even though it is already designed a ready to go, with the pricing of it. It would just be funny if the playoff version cost less than the regular season version....

Grinches.​

Fire. Copping if they are 180.​

EDIT: Appear to be Jades/Chinas​

if this is the shade of the "China Jade" these will be copped.

 

[Magic33]

Really? So if the three hundred dollar model aren't meant to be played in, beat down, why'd they put the sensors in them in order to measure Vertical leap?  Your comment really doesn't make much sense now does it?

No actually your comment didn't make any sense and was very narrow minded. You must not get out much if you don't realize that the majority of people wear sneakers casually and they're a part of societies every day wardrobe. From young kids to senior citizens. All these people camping out for Foams and retro Jordan's are doing it to ball in them?

And have you ever thought about it being a gimmick? To get you to pay the extra money and to separate themselves from the other companies and models. Nike does a good job of parting peoples money from their wallet.

If they're so concerned about people playing basketball in them they would come out with team models in basic colorways. Not elaborate colorways. How many people played in their Miami Vices and South Beach's?

Air Max 2009's are running kicks? Can you run in them? You can add Nike+ running tech to them. Now how many people do you see running in them versus just wearing casually. The majority of people don't run in them, and they're much better running kicks without that technology.

I get the X now

I know im slow

they going off of the diamond theme. The logo. The plastic side piece. The Xs on the bottom forming diamonds. The colorways "Black Diamond, Blue Diamond" pretty sure we will see a "yellow diamond"

probably could explain the silver/black/orange pair with the diamond symbol on fire........maybe those have something to do with diamonds as well

I dont wanna think too deep I might be 100% wrong

 

[you big dummy]

Couple of things...


The Green/Red shoe with the speckles on the midsole are the China Jade's...retail is $180 and they release on 11/10...they are not "Grinche's" or "Xmas"


The allover Red shoe posted here is NOT the "Xmas"


The LeBron X Low's posted here are NOT the LeBron X Low's...that is complete mis-information...don't know what they are...assuming they are some sort of Asia only shoe like the Ambassador...


The first few LeBron X launches are as follows...


9/29 - Olympics ($290) - limited QTYs...pics have been posted

10/6 - Blue Diamond ($290) - limited QTYs...have not seen pics posted here

10/23 - Away ($290) - general release...have not seen pics posted here

11/10 - China Jade ($180) - limited general release...pics posted here

11/10 - Black Diamond ($180) - general release...have not seen pics posted here


JM

Good looks jmadidas.

I'll remove the pics of those low's from the OP (can't see them anyway ) and update the necessary info.

repped


I'm guessing that black/red sample pair is for the 90's Heat HWC and that red/white pair is for the Heat "Winterfresh" Jerseys

 

[vood99]

Jades and Xmas joints are garbage.
Just notice 'flywire' text is back, it wasn't on the 9s, but make a reapperance for the X's, in the same exact position as the 8's are. So do we know who designed the X's? It can't be JP, why would he rebound in design? It's almost like the X's should of been the IX's and how the shoe is more evolved from the 8's.
Might have been some design(er) shake up for Team Lebron at Nike...

Amen brother!

im 99.99% sure they are going to have a playoff shoe in addition to the + version mentioned earlier in the thread. Im quite sure lebron is not gonna be trying to check his nike plus stats at the end of games when he has tv cameras to show how high is jumping and how quick he is. Even the pair that he wore in the Gold Medal game weren't Nike +. The + tech is just new way to make money, something that all companies are pushing to do. Like sometihng just mentioned, i think they are trying to test the waters with the nike + tech in the X's to see if people bite. If people dont bite, i doubt that you will see them in the later models at the end of the season and in the playoffs.

 

[andfattoo]

looks like we getting 2 sets of laces also.....top left corner shows extra laces
and from this pic and the grinchs pic looks like maybe LeBron or someone took these pics in the kitchen.......so im guessing all 2012 colorways are already in hand they just gonna tweet or instagram pics when ever they please
Really interested in seeing what the Dunkmans will look like
can we PLEASE get a metallic gold upper SVSM

I also peeped the lace locks as well, im curious to see better pics, it would be great to get a maroon pair.

gotta be a Pink Diamond then

They rebounded in design because the 8's were a success. Im not saying that it should be done as a designer, but sometimes you dont stray too far way from what worked in the past. IMO, i dont think the X's look too much like the 8's, and im glad the X's are the X's. Now if the performance and comfort is a good as it hope it is, im going to be singing praises whenever i get a chance.

 

[daantimpire]

im starting to think these are the lebron X elite/ playoff .... it makes sense same cushioning , but bubble seems bigger

Left the office just before I got a few release dates but these cover it. Had a mix up on the Jades, expect Nike to do something special for this year's Christmas pack (very concept driven rather than straight forward).

 

[thapointguy]

he said we haven't seen the aways and the Black Diamonds yet. Im quite sure either hes hasn't or isnt at liberty to tell us what they look like.

Generally Breds are the Aways, The Breds that we saw aren't the Aways, so there gotta be two Breds this year? Maybe the Aways will have some yellow on it or mostly red with some black perhaps? We may be confused with all these nicknames more so this year.
