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

[ventureblake]

Surely they can get it together by Black Friday.....even that is late IMO 

 

[T0INE]

Damn.

Another PR hit for the LeBron lin.

First he didn't wear the XIs because they didn't mesh with his grotesquely deformed toes.

Now the XIIs having to be recalled before they officially release and being delayed for who knows how long.

At this rate, I expect the XIIIs to spontaneously combust when you first wear them.

Manager of my local spot had to send back both HOLs & NSRLs. The model is being pushed back as a whole.

Good. They should keep pushing it (off a cliff).

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

@balksneakershow on Instagram said it was going to be delayed until the holiday. People say he is legit.

Hope this isn't true. If the NSRL's get a holiday release, i get the feeling nike will make QS or something.

If I were LeBron, I'd be highly pissed off at Nike. Seriously, they are not doing him justice at this point. Pure laziness. For your top signature athlete, this is inexcusable.

These colorways are going to sit, because they'll have to release a colorway every week to make up for the delay. Unless they start scrapping colorways

 

[andfattoo]

wow....

 

[dwoodactennis]

Guess I won't be wearing 12's when my hoops league starts Sunday.

Love the Swoosh, but this is a PR disaster, people were already skeptical of the 12 because of the past 11 on-court issues, now they are really going to have their hater goggles on.  

Super disappointing.

They'd more realistically just extend the life of the XII accordingly.

 

[armokidd]

The XIII will release before the XII...just give me the damn datas and keep all the other hideous releases

 

[teh chiz]

Like i said before, just retro the whole line already

 

[armokidd]

Like i said before, just retro the whole line already

meh it'll just be a fiasco and impossible to obtain most like the prelude pack....but im all for starting to retro the bron line

 

[mvaj6]

Lol the 11s were pretty successful.. Nothing will change with these . This won't hurt his brand .. Heads will still cop . This just makes people more thirsty for them . [emoji]128514[/emoji].. Waiting to see what the Christmas joints look like [emoji]128064[/emoji].

 

[armokidd]

Maybe they go away from an all green or red based shoe and do something different if

8-red
9-red
10-red
11-green

Im banking on all green

 

[barbarianbob]

So I'm guessing Nike could always just push all the release dates back for the ones we've already seen then reduce the amount of pairs they're actually gonna release as a whole

That would really suck seeing as though I'm really only digging two of them that we've seen so far :\ I was actually looking forward to 50' lem releases just to see where they would go with them

 

[rl_wayne]

They might also just double or triple up on releases for certain weeks/weekends to play catch up scheduling wise instead of doing just 1 per week or something. Guess we'll see how they handle it. I'm curious how far things will be pushed back.

 

[kingsin]

the XIIs as a holiday release? I'm loving the self inflicted sabotage

Anything that keeps the XI ID up is good news to me

 

[maladeen]

can we just get the xii id already i mean the other colorways are so so let me make my own already

 

[redrum3281]

well they could release 2 at a time like the AJxx9s

 

[Mister Meaner]

Sounds like a lot of overreacting in here. The LeBron line didn't take a hit with the XI, as I believe those were the best-selling LeBron sig to date.

And as someone who is looking forward to this new model, I'm happy as hell that that are addressing this design flaw. Who cares if it's delayed for X amount of time, as long as it eventually releases, flawless instead of flawed.

Y'all planning dates and outfits around these releases dates?
