Just go for the 12. I'm a 11.5 and settled for the 12.
I bought the USA low today in my TTS and it's a snug TTS.

That nonsense is for the birds and for dudes who need something to cling onto as justification for dropping big money on pairs.
Those Dunkman IIs are one of my favorite unreleased pairs after the Hardwood Classic VII and VIII sets, so I'd definitely be interesting if I don't have to jump through hoops to buy them and the price isn't crazy.
So in other words, I'll most likely only ever enjoy those in picture form if they release.

I just don't think it makes any sense to start retro releases of the Lebron line. Why lower sales of the current models with desire for retros...

I really doubt it will hurt new model sales. Unless they do it JB style with a retro almost every dam week.

Didn't they introduce Jordan retros in 1994? When Jordan came back to play, they were still releasing the main signature line.
It's just another way to generate sales. They're going to do it eventually. The Kobe Prelude pack was a Retro+ test and it was a Nike hype success (didnt even make a blip in major sales).
Honestly, the Retro 2 would probably sell better than any 12 not named Palmers.

But would they outsell a XIII with actual Cavaliers colors?
Can't wait to find out.

I'm pretty sure the lebron 2 is consider the best lebron to most lebrons lovers. Personally the 4s are the best followed by the 7s and AZG then the 2s

Nah. Palmers selling out to hype and are a GR (possibly). The retro 2 hasn't even dropped and Nike would just make it a hyper limited quick strike.

Went and tried them on today. One foot in the What if's and the other in the Elites, total night and day feel. Even had a tongue that you could pull up that you couldn't do with the regular version 12. Outside of jacking up the price for elites, I don't understand why they didn't add the other air unit in the forefoot. Also, could get the elites tighter around the ankle area unlike the regular version. Ankle padding on the inside was very noticeable as well. But again this could have been done on the initial pair. And still kept the same price. The plastic around the sides made no difference to me at all. Want the elites but will wait for a discount. Elite is a much more comfortable shoe..

Patiently waiting for that good price for the elites. No rush tho. Poor man problems.

Din't like the iD options for the XII Elite. But that's ok, wasn't going to cop anyway.

Cushioning was very noticeable and more plush. I'm big on impact protection and although I only walked around the store in these, they seemed to be on par with the 10 elites. Same setup with cushioning just one of the empty pods in the regular version in the forefoot now has air in it. Honestly was surprised it made that much of a difference. Again just don't understand why there wasn't air in it in the initial release...

I get what you're saying, but let's just hypothetically say LeBron plays six more seasons. That would leave a massive backlog of 18 models for Nike to retro. It makes sense to start trickling out models now. Strike while the iron is hot! Plus, if they wait too long, they'll be marketing shoes to kids who never saw Bron play. That worked with Jordans, but J's are in a class of their own, in terms of sales and hype.
Great idea.....and I hope they're unpredictable about it, bouncing around between models, instead of going in order.
