The Official Nike LeBron 14 Thread. Retail $175

[Blue Mamba]

 
7, 8, 9 was the height of the LBJ line its been all down hill from there. they need to a 7+8+9 mashup

I'd say 7 was when Lebron's became sorta popular. Then with the 8's, they became super popular along with the 9's and 10's. After the beginning of the 11's, they started going downhill.

I know someone has pics of the shoe regardless if they're pushed back or not [emoji]128529[/emoji]

I just hope if they switched the design up or something that it will actually look better than the prototype. No reason why the Zoom Power wasn't the 6 [emoji]128542[/emoji]

There are pics out of the Delly 1s before the lebron 14s

When images of the tan 13 Elite EXT came out, it made me sad. That premium leather upper on a modern signature really makes me miss the 8 V1 and prior. Tired of the synthetics

 

[redqks]

Leather really isn't good for ball

Give me a woven 10/10 over a leather shoe

 

[aj27526]

we don't get woven with Lebron's line like we do with Kobe's elite models..we get "armorposite" and other synthetic solids that are awful for ball. it took me the better part of 2 months of constant playing before the 11 was even halfway acceptable.

This is about Nike's efforts to be more environmentally responsible which is noble, but it still sucks

View media item 2172593The V1 was plenty light..perfect blend of synthetic and leather

The Kobe 12 isn't even real flynit, it's full of plastic and the previous models were full of glue , they said it's to strengthen it but since other companies have zero issues implementing it it's just fraff

 

[ArmandoJF33]

God, I love the 8s. I beat the black/red pair to death, I had two pairs too! The 11s were tough to break in, but once they do they're so . The 9s are my absolute favourite design and performance, and I hope Nike can design the 14 closely to them.

Bronny finna wear soldiers all season

After switching from the Elite 13's which were made for the playoffs/finals to the soldiers, I can see this happening.

I've wondered that sometimes. Nike promises a new sig every year, that usually is drastically different from is predecessor. What if they just worked on perfecting a shoe, with minor tweaks every year, for 2-3 years? (think iPhones). Maybe the Soldier X is a 'it it ain't broke don't fix it' kinda scenario.

If it don't make dollars it don't make cents

 

[nstanton]

Just like the kobe line from 4-6. Small changes and such trying to perfect it. Then we had the stiff seven and later the stiff x, and know kind of continuing the 8. 8-9-11

It's possible

I'm hoping for an instant classic with the 14

 

[ZOMBAVELI THE DON]

dont get your hopes up, i do wanna see LBJ line return to greatness though. Or do anything, mashups, fusions 

, retros, more NSW models. Nike paying this guy a bill to push his lackluster signature shoes and soldiers 

 swoosh 4 life

 

[nuclear90]

Retro the AZG's and Zoom II's.

Wednesday. I'm feeling lucky. Punk.

Repped for the Ironhide reference

The 14s are pushed back because Tinker Hatfield took over the design.

Nothing is pushed back, the RD for 3 colourways is October 11th. They are just doing a damn good job keeping the sneaker under wraps.

Same place the 12 was revealed..Stanford theater via IG: phase2 View media item 2173135

Honestly think they are just getting better at keeping the top stuff under wraps.  

We didn't get a peek at the 13 until they wanted us to, when they had him wear WITS to the Nike Basketball academy.
