they not to bad |I

Yeah, they are. Unwearable.

There are worse low top shoes and CWS, kd7 elite comes to mind. Though I doubt I'd buy the palmers..... A half price discount could put them on my feet #shouldershrug

 

[amiramid]

Almost copped the chromosomes for $135 off S.A. earlier

I applaud you for avoiding that horrible cw.

I just kept waiting for somebody to hit him with the jayz gif for even thinking about it lol

 

[promac]

Lmao, even at that price I couldn't do it. On another note, wheats are scheduled to arrive today.

Resist the urge fellas...just because there's a "deal" on some kicks doesn't mean you should cop...that's how you end up with a closet full of "what was I thinking?"

I feel u. Ultimately, I didn't buy just because I thought about when I would ever wear them. I pretty much get the evenings and weekends to wear shoes.... rarely on the evenings tho because I usually head home, eat, chill with the fam some, then head to the man cave

Still need to wear my TDM. Finally started wearing the Datas last week.

I went after them besides liking them but more to have a pair to ball in and at that price its unbeatable

Exactly, if you're not gonna wear...full price, disco or free you'll be stuck with some great looking kicks...in the box

But I see a lot of guys get caught by "disco fever" and cop only to try and off said pairs later. The original DSG $135 deals proved that.

Yes and no. I mean, there are det some shoes I just wait for the discount on like the TDM or even the obsidian foam pros or knicks foams. Then, like you mentioned, there are shoes people don't care for and just buy because they are a nice price.
I got the all stars for $117 and the DF for $106 and am just fine wearing them when I get time (already wore the DF). The Easters.... I haven't seen them in person so I don't know which category Id fall in for those

1000% agree here, I've wanted several of the CWs, but even on discount I know I wouldn't be wearing those kicks all the time, hence why I've only stuck with the HOL so far.

Palmers tempt me but IDK if I just want to shell out another $200 on kicks that I won't wear all the time

 

[pelimpe]

I ve been on the fence on that lebron xii.... Its a nice shoe but i just cnt gt myself to buy a single pair .... Im sure I ll end up with one or 2 but ..

Repped, so true. This habit seems to create a constant urge to be buying, and discounts are one of the best ways of rationalizing why you bought a new pair.

lebron 12 if def one of the most comfortable shoes made far as the lebron line goes, its jus da 200 price tag that keeps ppl away... most colorways hv been available on disco on sports authority, dicksporting, an other websites... definitely nice shoe tho

 

[apex523]

So true fellas.  NT does make me fight the urge to consistently buy sneakers that I only just like due to great deals.  I find myself wearing them once and throwing them in the closet.  This year I've been continuing to fight the good fight and only cop what I REALLY WANT, even if it is not a deal/steal.  This SHOULD end up saving me money in the long run.  The Lebronold Lows (retail + ship) are the first 12s' that I've bought of this line and trust me, it was not easy for me to not pull the trigger on all the amazing deals that pop up on Lebrons 12th sig line.

 

[squatchnt]

The spike part on the rubber cities completely ruin the shoe for me

Nice colorway but horrible execution. Price point is too high for me to custom. Them damn nipples all over the shoe wtf.

Yep...guilty of this many times myself.  This happened quite a bit with the X and XI models for me...and like you said found myself downsizing when the dust settled.  

I've been way more reserved with the XII, stuck to my guns even with the massive discounts.   

 

[iloveroshes]

how do the lows fit? tts or 0.5 sz up?

 

[drisk34]

someones gotta know where the white lows are dropping tomorrow...i guess i assume they'll be in store only like the other 2 that have dropped so far?

 

[adm3]

.5 size up for me hv both lows so far red, palmers

 

[willydimes]

Yea if you find anything out let us know. I was going to call my HOH but I'm not getting these unless my bday coupon works so it'll have to be general for that. Not getting tempted by some other fake limited thing

 

[redrum3281]

i would cop the palmers at a discount of 50%> other wise pass, i'll wait and see what other lows come up i'll prob end up with one low

 

[dafilman]

Waiting on the what ifs for the disco and the CV's. 

 

[uncharteddrake]

i usually get lows 0.5 smaller.

 

[norwaydre]

i usually get lows 0.5 smaller.

Everyone's said to go TTS or go half a size up
