Could be wrong, but looking at that latest shot of the sole....I don't know if they are gonna glow.  Kinda look like it's just neon 

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

those are headed for discount, and ill be there waiting for them if they go low enough

 

[redrum3281]

Why does nike have to put pink or volt on every thing these days. Smh.

 

[hiphopisdead]

Are All-star releases normally a GR?

 

[ventureblake]

The S/S shirt is nice but I like this one better for the KING.  Neutral colors....let the shoes do the talking...and the slogan just seems to "fit" 

 

[barbarianbob]

I'm digging the ASG shirt, it's gonna look good with the ASG XII's in a trippy hippy kinda way

The shorts are FUEGO. Missed out first round. Then they randomly restocked last year and i snagged them for 27 Bucks

Those were Area 72 shorts I believe gumbo was a different elite short.

You're right, I forgot about the Gumbo thing last year

If your talking about CV's I wouldn't doubt it but it'll be tough for me to catch my sz 14 if and when they do |I

I kind of could play that wait game last year when I was still squeezing into sz 13's but I gave that game up

No and I don't think they've ever been

Although Gator Kings would've made you think they were

I've made up my mind, I will be picking up a pair of these. They're the perfect amount of subtle with a hint of flair. Bred cw's are always nice, the fact that it's bright crimson gives it nice pop and the hardwood design is done really well on the posite to give it a little extra something. May still pick up the AS, may still pick up the DH, but these I know for a fact will be a regular rotation shoe on and off the court.

I hate using the phrase "people are sleeping" because people either like a shoe or they don't and the fact that I like it shouldn't change anybody's opinion, but I think I put them on the back-burner for releases this month because of all the excitement the AS shoes bring in and a really debatable cw like the DH. But had these been the initial release cw instead of the HoaLs, I think they'd be up there for best cw (so far) in the same manner that HoaLs are discussed.

The question now is, wait for discount?? Or cop and hope for a bigj special?

SUPER TOUGH

If I can snag a pair of CVs down the road, I'll try a lace swap with those extra black laces that came with my LeBron X Home Elite.

GR as in the number of pairs, or the number of stores?

 

[eddeejayz]

there are a few on sale now, not digging them..

 

[laces1983]

I'm lost....that rule the empire shirt belongs to who??

Nobody, just for the pack 

 

[mufcbmwbear]

I think Ive seen that slogan on Federer's US open Tshirts

 

[D_eezus]

those shorts were the ish. Not last year, those are from 2 years ago (kobe 8, lebron 10, kd5). Anyone remember what the shorts from the galaxy year looked like?

I Dont think they had any?

I remember people wanted $80+ for these after they released.

Yeah I snagged the last pair at Footaction by my house, I think most of them ended up on eBay but mine are all ****ed up now and I cant find em anywhere. Here in Houston during that area 72 all star weekend they were making custom elite socks to match the shoes at the galleria for like 20 bucks and I remember dudes flipping them for stupid amounts ...Flipping socks

 

[frankw]

Even the soles are gorgeous.

not feeling them. felt the Xi's gator king were better executed. 

my fav all-star LeBron is still the V @ NO. 

 

[bigj505]

Hmmmm. I'm trying to prioritize which one I'm getting next.

CV are nice but I have that color in a few shoes so I'm gonna risk the wait.
All stars (don't even have a nickname yet?) are for me but I'm liking them 3rd out of the next set of releases.
DH are maybe my fav and I think I want them next. Might force a Washington redskns fit with them tho

 

[serstylz2]

CVs are definitely a solid shoe.. i just already have enough black/red shoes, and usually only wear kicks on the weekend... at some point you just gotta pass

Yup...the CVs are sweet, no doubt, but I already have the Datas, so I don't need another black 12 right now.  ASG looks good to me, though.

My wife and I have been on kind of a binge lately, too...we've copped a lot of shoes recently...and I think it's time to stop and take a deep breath...gonna be a long year.

New pic

Offical Nike pics should be released sometime this afternoon.

CVs may be my first and only 12s. They clean. Hopefully can scoop them on disco.

I haven't been plugged into this thread, but is it safe to say the CVs will sit? Most of the other CWs have.
