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

Seriously. Smh. Then again dude never hand to come out of his pocket nor did his mom ever had to really "struggle" to cop him a pair of B-Ball sneakers. Since he's been in AAU since middle school, and was given sneakers through out high school plus the extras no one talks about.. 

There had to be some kind of struggle... LeBron was wearing shoes that were too small for his feet while he was growing up. How else can anyone explain what happened to his toes?

Must have been the Adidas he wore in high school caused that....

This shoe would be really

if they had used leather. A triple black color way on these with a leather upper would be

. it would be similar to how the VIIIs triple black pair was

too bad I know it wouldn't happen.

At certain angles it makes me like the shoe but at other angles I'm just ehh about 'em.

don't count out a tripple black or leather, who knows what the ext is gonna be since leather is now premuim material to nike.....

[iks mod]

May be in the minority, but I like what I see...

Curious how these will feel.

 

[nike feet]

I'm on board with the 12

This CW sucks tho

 

[imlive365]

Damn I'm surprised nobody's started photoshoping color ways yet lol

 

[MoneyAmeer]

MORE SO THAN THE 8'S AND THE 10'S? THOSE TWO MODELS ARE THE EPITOME OF BULKY, CLUNKY LOOKING

VERY FEW OF LEBRONS SHOES HAVEN'T HAD THAT BULKY LOOK, MOST NOTABLY 6'S, 9'S AND 11'S. THE 12'S LOOK TO BE THE NEXT IN THAT LIST IMO. THEY DEF HAVE A MORE SLEEK LOOK THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN WITH THE LEBRON LINE.

 

[mcgregor triangle]

AZG's a little sleeker, too, IMO, even though design cues taken from a hummer. Just lighter-seeming in general. XII's are half bulky, half sleek lol..

idk i think the xi are way bulkier looking than the x but that's my opinion

got dam ok billy mays

They look VERY sleek OFF the foot, they look like a diff shoe in that on foot pic. they look sloppy in that pic admit it

 

[Magic33]

Not sure what to make of them

I'm not fond of that colorway

But they look sort of cheap looking and I'm not a fan of all the teeth looking sole.

NOT SURE IF SERIOUS. WILL JUST CHOOSE TO IGNORE FROM HERE ON OUT.

The bottoms are just so damn terrible. When you see it from the side the bottom almost looks like a cleat. Just gross. They really missed the mark on this one and I'm sure the price will be $275 regular price and over $300 when the elites drop. Just hideous.

I agree on the look being cleat-like.  If you can take the look though, from a basketball-side I've found some pod setups to work great on court.

 

[blastercombo]

These are garbage. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd STILL the undisputed champion, the leeeeeeeeeeebrooooooñ............... 8's!

 

[mike n nikes]

these look more comfortable than 11s... but not as pleasing to the eye... but only time will tell.. since i wasnt really big on 8s or 9s till more colorways released..

 

[Blue Mamba]

These would look so much better if they didn't have those awkward things on the sides, if they just got rid of them and continued with the mesh they would have flowed nicely. 

 

[blastercombo]

These make the lebron v's look perfect

I agree. I'm sure they are function over form tho

 

[xcautionx]

Watch when they release a preheat or super limited cw everyone calling them ugly will beast
