Nike generated $300 million in U.S. retail sales in 2012 for James’ signature shoes, according to research firm SportsOneSource. Nike’s haul represents a 50% increase from sales of James’ kicks in 2011.

So am I the only one who's feeling the NSRL colorway the most out of all the colorways revealed?

 

[bowb4me]

Anything Tim and Eric is a auto rep in my book. Great job...

Here we go again

I understood him rocking the Soldier 7's last year over the 11s.  They were lighter, durable, IMO had better zoom cushioning and court response.  Plus no awkward toe box cramping.  Just because something costs more, or is marketed better doesn't mean the quality is is superior.  

But I don't think this report is entirely accurate.

Sidenote LeBron's diet really worked.  He looks quite lean, and fit headed into this season.  I always felt he was carrying maybe 10 - 15 lbs of unnecessary weight.  Probably all those South Beach lavish lifestyle parties.  An even quicker LeBron off the dribble is a scary thought for opponenets.  Especially running on a break with Kyrie, and outlet passes from K. Love.

That check looks like it's touching the concrete :x

 

[cooperfiddy]

Now if only the price was as low as that swoosh...

 

[alphaaf]

Can someone explain to me the salt over the lower placement of the swoosh?  Why is that big a deal?  It's a unique design choice.

Kobes? Not trash. Wasn't a big fan of the XIs but id hardly say the LeBron line has been trash in recent years either. Now decline... maybe. Hard to follow the Kobe 8 and Lebron X doe

5 Best, both in aesthetics / function

Kobe 8

LeBron 10

Kobe 6

LeBron 8

Kobe 4

Garbage, either aesthetics and / or function

Kobe 9

LeBron 11

Kobe 7

LeBron 9

  these are not gonna be a good look for the big  fellas once the shoe  starts leaning

You have to take into account the angle in which the pic was taken.

 

[domosirchazzo]

I wonder what inspired adidas to make those lameass practice beaters and Capri pants.

Anyway, don't care if Lebron wears the 12's like I didn't care last year.

My only concern is if I should buy all my pairs early on in the line or hold out for some of the stuff later in the model.

I really don't need more than 4 pairs but I don't wanna see the doper c/w's after I thought I moved on from the 12's

Exactly what I was thinking with some wear and breaking in these may spread over top of the bottoms onto the ground :\

Players were cutting their sweats so they decided to do the capris.

I feel the same way I really only want about 4-5 of these but I don't want to miss out on 2 of these CW coming out. Every year it's a gamble.

I think the clear outsole is part of the reson the swoosh looks so low. IMO

I was thinking the same thing, but who knows...

No, the swoosh is just low.

It doesn't bother me though. In fact, I think it looks pretty cool. Different.
