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

Are there any models without translucent outsole? I know the whole point is to show the tech but in terms of traction i never felt this material was as good as the solid rubber outsoles.

Just hope the iD goes live Tuesday so I can go HAM!

Seconded. They've more or less killed the 'clear sole' in the past 5 years so it wouldn't hurt for them to go back to the basics for a change.

pass, pass,pass,maybe

Dumb question, but what is NSRL?

No Shoes Relieve Lebron(s cramping)

[Ja's 2¢]

Amen on this. Whatever happened to the simple home/away colours and the White/Navy? The pair on the top right is half decent but I would pay no more than $99 (taxes included) for it.

you think him going back to Cleveland throws a wrench in the home/away colors this year ? maybe they had em ready, just in the wrong colors......thankfully

Worlds better than the 11, not sniffin the sack of the x

 

[ammforever23]

I think these you would have to just lace up. I have yet to see them loose and looking good. I wouldn't say better than the 11s or the best these are in their own little corner because its way too different.

What makes these so different? AZG and 2 needs there own corner for having the 90s look or the 4 because it's a posite. The 12 is just another LeBron to me. People act like the 12 is this huge leap like the Kobe 8 to the Elite 9. Those are different than anything else not these. I can't wait for these to drop so this anti 12 train can go away when everyone has that different in person moment. It never fails ha ha ha.

pass fo sho. i can ignore the weird plastic bit which looks completely out of place with the mesh. but them shark teeth outsole just kills it for me.. look like cleats.

And why arent they bringing back the old 23 logo ? looks why better than the current one imo

Seriously doubt they bring back the old logo for newer models. Hopefully they at least out them on the older models when they retro them, although that's probably a stretch.

Struck out on the WTL. Next chapter begins. Instinct and Data looking better and better by the day.

[bluntobject50]

In for Instincts and Datas.

 

[bowb4me]

I'm really surprised the Instinct has gotten more love. The CW and candy paint effect is amazing.

Definitely my favorite of what we've seen so far as well.
