Exactly, I can see Nike charging $220 for these, but my girl thinks $230 since the Kobe 9 Elite is $225. She thinks Lebrons should be more than Kobes... she hates Kobe.

um Kobe elites are always more expensive than reg LeBron but cheaper than Lebron elites, lets do some price comparisons real quickExactly, I can see Nike charging $220 for these, but my girl thinks $230 since the Kobe 9 Elite is $225. She thinks Lebrons should be more than Kobes... she hates Kobe.
Lebron low 170, reg 200, elite 275
Kobe em 160, el 200, elite 225
so for the most part lebrons are more expensive than kobes depending on how you compare it, just remember kobe released the elites before their regs depending on if the em or the elite low is the reg is awhole nother convo

even though he wore them all season, it's not abnormal to see Bron Bron wearing the Soldier's especially in the post season.
Granted it was in his Cleveland days before they had "Elite" bball shoes, but still I think people need to remember Bron has always enjoyed his more cost affordable and lighter weight shoes.
he probably will wear the 12's though, looks more comfortable and breathable so far than the 11, even though I personally love the 11's.

I actually like how the XIIs look in that on foot pic.
Only to find out that isn't the pair that's releasing.

On foot pic reminds me of the hyperfuse from a few years back. As usual shoes looking better than the initial blurry pic.

warming up to the shoe, but probably won't get these first release CW. from the way the mesh upper looks i'm guessing it'll be like the Kobe 8 and 9 with fused backing.

im sure these will grow on me with the right color, but as of right now kobe 9 elites looking like the better shoe. Especially since they might end up costing the same amount

This.In my opinion in terms of looks the lebron line is going downhill after the 9's while the price tag is going up.
2011 was a great year for the three Nike sig lines imo.

um No need for price comparisons here... been buying Kobes since the 2nd model and the LeBron since the 3rd.
What I said was my girl thinks that since the Kobe 9 can sell extremely well for a high @ $225 (and he's not playing in them a.t.m.), then Nike can get $230 for their #1 star's shoe.
That's all.

in that same breath nike's getting $275 for their #1 star who played in them only slightly more than Kobe

Yeah, everytime she sees me buy or break out a Kobe to wear she always brings up Colorado and that his wife should leave him and she was so happy the Lakers were horrible this past season.
If it's a LeBron, she would tell me how good they look, and now since he lost in the Finals, she says how happy she is that he's about to have his 3rd child with his wife.
I just wear LeBrons around her for the most part so I don't have to hear about Kobe's indiscretions.

What I'm trying to say is SHE only knows from what I'VE bought. She's seen me buy $225 Kobes and $220 Lebrons (ASG). She doesn't know between Elite or not. Hell, she figures for that kinda money they should ALL be Elites ALREADY.
She doesn't know anything about $275 Lebrons because I haven't bought any Elites since the LeBron 9. She's not into this stuff like that. Heels, yes... sneakers, no.

HQ pics of the better looking black foam sample from KoD. First pic looks kinda tough from that angle... I just cannot get with the lace lock thing on the tongue tho. Wish he would take a full shoe shot of the dark colored look see sample.
That top lace hole lacing is different too, weird placement on that. Medial side still looks super lame LOL

Yeah IDK about the Lace-Cover thing but if i do get a pair im just going to unlace them and not lace it through it.
The Back Angle and the Sole really have my attention.
