[COLOR=#Red]I'm a huge fan of the 2's. To be honest they are not photogenic at all tho. Their presence only makes themselves known when seen on the foot in person. Ask yourself would you rather a chick that's Instagram beautiful, yet barely average in person, or vice versa?
But to be honest with that being said the 2 has aged somewhat, and though many wil argue (myself included), that it's a classic, that still doesn't mean it is a somewhat dated design. Aesthetically Lebrons have been all over the place, but with few exception (IMO the 6s) they have been the best performing, most protective hoop shoe out for awhile. Obviously because it's engineered for a very large and heavy athlete that still moves with high velocity and quickness. I don't even really like the way the 12s look, but they prevented me from an injury that my ankle would have been broken In any other pair of hoop shoes. Because of that I rock with them.
The only Lebrons I'll never hoop in are the kings prides. I have gotten so many compliments in them from people who aren't even into kicks...talking about peeps who wouldn't know the difference between Adidas Pro Model Shelltoes and Foamposite Pros [/COLOR]
