These shoes are fair looking in SOLID colourways - the overall design just doesn't lend itself to contrasting colourways.

My favourite models so far are the NSRL, HoL and TDM, and largely BECAUSE of the contrasting colours between the posite and megafuse.

Man, these would probably be flames in a regular black/red/white scheme with suede (or even durabuck) replacing the mesh upper. White midsole, red speckled, black foam.
I haven't been this enamored by a LeBron sig since the 8. Maybe I'll treat myself to an ID when that becomes available.

I love the AJ XV, so I guess I'm good to go!

I forgot to look when I took them off at the gym, so I popped them out this morning real quick to take a look. Sure enough, the eyelet on the outer wing of the left shoe is very loose....looks like the inner piece could fall right out without much effort.

Excellent write-up once again DW. I had to read it all before I went to sleep. No it didn't put me to sleep 
, almost read it again, it was that thorough and thought out.

Got some quick comparison pictures of the XII next to an XI just for reference, both size 10.0.

Well done @dwoodactennis on the review, I definitely appreciate the NT'ers like me who dissect a shoe from the aesthetics to the technology to the fit.

DW deserves an award for that review. Covered every question I had, thanks homie - much respect on behalf of all those who hoop and look to see peoples' opinions from that perspective.

in those pics the XIIs look like the ugly friend chicks keep around 'em so they can look better by comparison

Good work with the review DW. Need to patiently wait to see the 12s in hand before I have an opinion either way on them. Still not really loving how the design looks so comfort/performance is gonna be key to me. I'll probably end up with at least a pair or two, but not sure how sold I am on the 12s yet.

Appreciate the review DW 
Anxious to give these some burn... I'm leaning towards copping the HOL's. maybe grab a b-day coupon and pay the $175

Actually does the opposite for me, NSRL's are def pickups for me, whatever year they release

That side to side pic was a great idea @dwoodactennis . It makes one realize that Nike just went the more simplistic route with the XII's. I feel the XIIs is a toned down XI - but in a good way. Not to much bells and whistles, but a semitransparent design with looks and tech.

The side by side between the XI's and XII's make it look like the XI's are ever so slightly longer than the XII's. If these ever release I may pick up 2 different sizes and send back the one that doesn't fit.

Pretty much what I was thinking too as far as the XI's looking longer...
I'm thinking of going TTS with the 12's simply because the soft upper material is just going to be inherently more forgiving than the Posite used on the XI's...I'm thinking this is why DW reported that they feel like they have more room in the toe area...

Also as an aside I'm pulling my hair out over here waiting for these to hit ID so I can mess with a black out version...Lion Heart's are the only release color-up I'm interested in unless those "Cavs" joints (Double Helix? 
) end up dropping...

I don't hate the 12s but it definitely reminded me why I like the XIs so much

Great review @dwoodactennis! Very informative and in depth.
