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

[bowb4me]

thought this was pretty interesting http://*************.com/news/how-does-the-lebron-12-rank-in-lebron-s-signature-line-/

1. II
2. I
3. VIII
4. IV
5. X
6. VII
7. XI
8. III
9. VI
10. V
11. IX
12. XII

can't say I totally agree with it but they atleast got the IXs right

Like I've been saying. The 2s are by far the best. It seems the more hype and theme associated models are others general best. I'm not surprised. Lol

The 2 zoom max bottoms out too fast

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

Whew. Almost caught whiplash from watching these turns

@ultimatecam
Actually Bron didn't wear any 9's during the Olympics. He played in the Hyperdunk promoting the Nike+, Soldier VI, and gold medal game was the Gold Medal X.

All that being said the 9's were great AND were the first to have appeared on iD.

But the colors weren't really limited as someone mentioned. They just went in phases. There was the foam option, mesh panels in place of the weave, 2 pairs of laces per pair, gum bottoms. They had many choices but you had to be quick...just ask @gentry187

Bingo.

 

[kingsin]

I wasn't gung-ho about the 9s, but to put the 5s and 6s above it is straight disrespect

 

[yotk13]

That list is pretty accurate but 12 need to be higher and 9 need to be lower. And 11s should be first

 

[redrum3281]

 I didn't think it would ruffle this much, it's just a silly ranking done by one website using their opinions, nothing to get jimmy rustled about unless you actually like the IXs

 

I kid I kid

I wish there was a way to do a vote on the I-XII with having all the cws up for each model and seeing how it would turn out

 

[dark steel]

ANY list is suspect if it doesn't have the Vs and VIs last, IMO.

Now, bring on these NSRLs...

 

[thapointguy]

dark steel I see you got a new avy haha. How long have you had the NSW lion one?

 

[Nipsey3000]

[carolinafinest]

Dunkman - honorable mention

Good googly moogly that's $860 if I pull the trigger on all [emoji]128552[/emoji][emoji]128520[/emoji][emoji]128551[/emoji]

Edit: but these are Lebron shoes. Hopefully we get some under retail. It's just holding out after RD that sux

 

[barbarianbob]

The XI should at least be top 5 on anybody's list ....... IMO

 

[carolinafinest]

Yup. 9s 11s 8s 7s 2s should be the 5 but how they rank is totally subjective after that.

 

[dark steel]

dark steel I see you got a new avy haha. How long have you had the NSW lion one?

Had it since LeBron went to Miami and decided to wear #6...

Now that he's #23 again, I figured I may as well change too.

 

[lewi1913]

I don't get on here that much and write anymore and never really in the bron thread but for them to have some of those shoes in that order and have the 9 second to last they need to be slapped. He won first champ in them and gold medal that year and MVP! Personally beside that the 9 is the best mix to me between casual and basketball. Plus color ways were straight heat!!!!

Cam speaks the truth.

That's my top 5 as well but not in that order. 8, 11, 9, 7, 2. 2s would be ahead of 7 if they had more colorways.

 

[lewi1913]

IX's got me back into the Lebron line, after many bland years IMO. It was also the first year they went HAM on color ways, which was nice to have the option.

Still my fave hoop shoe to play in too.

 

[carolinafinest]

That's my top 5 as well but not in that order. 8, 11, 9, 7, 2. 2s would be ahead of 7 if they had more colorways.

Most definitely I would have the 3 right behind that.
I'm just thinking of getting a Heather grey shirt or teal shirt to rock with them NSRLs.

 

[mrsmith]

I wonder if these will be an instore easy copp the some of the xi's were?

nope not everyone them ugly IXs way to high up IMO they're only better looking than 4-5 of the other XII so they're def at the bottom of my list with the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6

 

[eyedea]

Hate the nines. Wings look like bunny ears on a shoe. And the max unit with forefoot zoom setup was turrible for ball

 

[MoneyAmeer]

I loved balling in my 9s so plush all the way around

 

[Magic33]

That list was terrible

Yup. 9s 11s 8s 7s 2s should be the 5 but how they rank is totally subjective after that.
