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

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

call me crazy, but I think Black History Month shoes should... oh I don't know... HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BLACK HISTORY!!!


If they followed the theme correctly you'd never run out of ideas; we're always making new history. There are countless events and figures they could honor. They could even pick one person a year and just express that theme across all the nike model shoes etc. Each box should come with a card similar to the DB series in which there is a bit of info about the person and/or event the shoe theme is based on. Man Nike need to hire me real talk I'm not talking about doing MLK Jr and Rosa Parks every year either. Throughout the diaspora the ideas are honestly endless. You can take this opportunity and turn into a learning experience. Especially people who didn't minor in AA studies like myself and otherwise wouldn't know any better.

Throwing random prints (that have nothing to do with Black history BTW) is almost condescending.

^I said the EXACT same thing in the Kobe thread, down the DB card and everything. These patterns are whack and uninspired, its not that hard for these "designers" to put some effort into themed shoes...TDM has more creativity in it that the whole BHM pack

...but I'd be down for some kinte cloth print Nikes

A black upper with 3M weaved into it would have been

Hell yea

how badly scratched is your iphone? my potato camera takes higher quality pics than this! LOL

It's a scratched 3GS bruh


gatorbeltsnpattiemelts I was gonna quote you bae but you wrote a short novel

But I loved the idea of the first portion of it I did read

I'm driving right now so I'll have to wait til I get home so I can sit down with some coffee to finish the rest of it

I repped it in advance though

 

[armokidd]

THIS! They really should've mixed more white or silver in that upper somewhere

I would've loved an all white upper with black or silver fuse or that black upper with white or silver fuse


Bruh you liked the Xmas XII's :x

You my mans and all but your opinion no longer holds any weight in the judgement of what's hot or not

They aren't horrible though, I think I and many others just feel underwhelmed with them |I

Damn bob, hurting me....I like the xmas cuz they are ugly and I have all the xmas lol

 

[thapointguy]

Got a replacement pair without the missing crown on the tongue that DSG sent me so I could finally wear them.

Its nice. But Not a fan. That yellow just doesn't do it for me. And I wonder when they're gonna stop using translucent outsoles?

 

[sneakergameinsane]

The print is not necessarily random I have seen some african art, sculptures, etc that feature similar designs.
Im wondering what part of Africa they got their "inspiration" from

 

[Blue Mamba]

It's funny how Nike finally gives us nice and simple colors and people complain saying they're too plain when they wanted less loud colors. I think they did a great job with the BHM pack this year. It's refreshing to see black and white and not something too crazy.

 

[djkoldkrush]

Not feeling the BHM's execution could have been much better... ahh jus means i can save more money, now to wait for the ASG's to leak

I'll give you a pass then bro sense you have all the other pairs, I would hate for you to break tradition

reason why people are complaining due to execution of the style not the colorway!......colorway is dope but they could've execute the BHM (bron) a better way!.....

I apologize in advance if I offend anyone, but this pair has more in common with exploitation rather than history. For crying out loud, it's a run of the mill Black/White colourway with an increased price tag.

You'd think the Nike higher ups were trying some kind of twisted experiment - take your basic Black/White GR, raise the price and then slap the 'BHM' moniker on it.

Its Kente cloth print

I'm talking bout the real stuff, not something that looks like a half completed level of Space Invaders.

To be honest I wish Black history month was disassociated with Africa, Black American history is it's own entity and should have it's own trademarks.
