The Official Nike LeBron XII Thread- "July 4th/USA" & "King's Cloak/Red Paisley" 06/27/15

[the connoisseur]

Thanks for the review lynchpin33.

I'm still not getting the Elites unless there's a discount, but if they're THAT comfy then maybe I'll settle for a moderate discount, instead of holding out for the low-low.

Got the Flight's today and I must say they look great in person. I love the grid on the posite and the pattern/gradient on the swoosh.

How and where did you get them from. Thought they don't release until May

No problem. I'll be waiting for a discount for these as well, I have several LBJ 10 elites to hold me for a while. Color doesn't matter really for the 12 elites. Older you get impact protection means more. I messed around and forgot my elite 10's on Wednesday and played in my Hyperdunk 2012+'s and I still feel the pounding on my joints. Lunar is not for me at all. Although the Kobe 10's Elite (air/lunar combo) Rose Gold's are tempting.

Will be interested to hear others opinions and reviews...

I figured since the 2s are retroing i would make a thread so it wont derail this thread

Ankle support & lacing are better than the regulars.

 

[brewc1ty]

How long are ppl willing to wait for the elites to drop in price? The elite 11s were still above 200 last time I looked.. And by the time the elites go on sale, I'll already be focused on the 13s anyways..but that's just me

Was doing my occasional backtracking on threads and that lebron 8 thread was crazy

 

[cooperfiddy]

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 AZ then the 2s

4s are one of my favourites too

You just have to be around when they drop in price. A lot of us cooked on the super hero XI for like $100 or so last year. Can't remember the exact price anymore.

I think it was $120 or so from citygear. I got mine for $150 a month before that off the bay. Shoes always drop when stores want to move inventory and then the prices go back up for a long time. Footlocker does this a lot. Shoes that are a year or so old are more expensive than they were 6 months before.

Yeh thats the 'other' one i was referring to in my original post, many people in here have made reference to it in the past.. If anyone hasn't seen it though, check it out!

 

[bowb4me]

I posted some pics in here months ago tryna tell everyone the LeBron 2 and the Dunkman 2 are the GOAT LeBrons.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE HYPE BEASTING AND NECK BREAKING TURNS. 2 has no competition outside of the AZG.

Good answer and right on point.
I remember getting 3 colors of the elite X from FTL while the XIs were out for like $100 or so each too.

I'll take wheat azg; white gold, black white Vs; ASG, red carpet 7s and I think i'd be good right there

I actually came into this thread about the Elites and got side tracked by 2 retro news. Those Elites are beautiful in person. This is by far IMO the best Elite Pack ever. Across the board every sneaker and CW is really good. Bron, KD and the only pair I picked up so far Kobe.
