All i know is, i'm not pre ordering nothing this year or next 

Definitely!  I only paid $20 over retail for All-Stars to get them early, but even that proved to be unnecessary with the million restocks.  That made me sit and wait for retail on WTL's, which actually worked out.  Lesson learned.  

Now only if JB releases could be that straight forward and easy 

 

[dafilman]

I am thinking that the 11 might have been the last WTL as well.  But a I am interested in what a 12 What The would look like, to me it would make Nike try something different/.

 

[gausswho]

Surprised why nobody is talking about these

I think this has potential, being an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" theme.  If Nike released a matching sweater with these shoes, it would be pretty neat!  

 

[Remy LeBeau]

I be thinking about the HoL's but I just don't need another wht/red shoe and I'm still interested in the other CWs that are releasing. *waits for SLH CW *

Bruh.... You need hol

They have orange in them.

C'mon man, do not start

Lebron 12 Akron Birch

The LEBRON 12 was developed to meet James’s performance needs based on research from the Nike Sport Research Lab. Nike Zoom Air technology is brought to a new level on this shoe.  The emerald green base combines with the shoe’s photorealistic camouflage upper on the Hyperposite shell. The camo pattern is inspired by Akron, Ohio’s winter weather and includes a birch tree pattern. Black and Hyperpunch micro dots integrate into the camo pattern for a seasonal touch. A notable subtlety of this shoe is the snowflake formed by small hexagons on the tongue loop.

Like I told you guys. The 12 is the best out of the Christmas releases.

KD is the best of the 3. Still not a cop.

And Red and White so BIGJ will like them.

 

[dafilman]

Welp spoke about it and here it is lol.  I like all of them to be honest.

Datas are overhyped and overrated...just a basic bred type general release colorway...I could be wrong until I see em in person!

They aren't "bred" tho

nrmancruso - not enough red in the kd for me to love them. Kobes are better to me

Nah, people like it because it's a simple colorway in the middle of some crazy, ultra colorful ones. And there's an actual Bred coming in January.

 

[bowb4me]

KD has the best insole of the 3. Maybe I'm just tired of red. I know people love there Christamas shoes so if people really wanted a nice Christmas pack check out Adidas. Nightmare before Christmas inspired and GITD.

Who am I kidding though, 99% of you all will still buy a Nike you really don't like than a Adidas shoe for Christmas. Ha ha ha

I'll leave this here for those that don't visit the other brands forum.

I'm sure the XII Xmas look better in person, but they're not flattering at all even in nice hi-res pictures.

 

[sneakergameinsane]

Thats really the Xmas 12....:x

Confused by "photorealistic camouflage".

Is it a sticker like the Everglades last year or Blurred like the ID?

Need a better posite pic.

 

[patriotgames]

Bah humbug

[stocktonblues]

I kind of like it. Would cop for half off. I like the ugly shoes on court though

None of the Xmas shoes this year are worth copping IMO. I was debating on copping the TDMs, but I think I might be good until the next wave of colorways leaks.
