The fact Lebron name is on it and the word 'Elite'. 
Easy pass. $250 for a pair of shoes is ridiculous. These look like ACG lumbarjack boots. 

im pretty sure its the fact that the max air has zoom air in it.

I didnt believe him when he said he saw pics, werent the elite 9's supposed to have 360 air?

So are you saying that the 10's will go back to having 360 air again?

[thapointguy]

Throw *insert bright colors* on them and you'll have folks going goo goo gaga over them

 

[bronle]

These look like a leather Bakin Foam Boot

I'd get em for 150.

lets all overreact to some samples

 

[4wrestling]

Are these boots or basketball shoes? Serious question.

 

[furious stylez]

people are forgetting that basketball sneakers were always big and bulky, up until recent with all these gimmicky light plastic materials.


I'm assuming the shoes aren't that heavy with all the hyperfuse and flywire, just have a tall silhouette. I wont be buying them but interested in seeing a final product.

 

[andfattoo]

people keep forgetting that this reaction happens to every new lebron release.

 

[therealpepman]

They don't look appealing. They remind me of a pair of Nike ACG Boots.

These are a definite cop, y'all are forgetting that there is SERIOUS tech in these.. Going to be crazy comfortable.

 

[jca998]

Hopefully they keep the exposed fly wire

 

[sole redeemer]

Why so repetitive with the "boots references"?

As stated before... WEAR TEST SAMPLE!!!

And yet no one complains about a $265 shoe that New Balance puts out...  http://www.shopnewbalance.com/men/shoes/running/training/MR2002CU

 

[andfattoo]

good point.

 

[maximumfoams]

so basically these

 

[andfattoo]

thats more like it.

 

[Magic33]

They look like boots, easy pass

 

[andfattoo]

lol...... another boot reference.

 

[therealpepman]

Those exposed flywire makes me think they might be easily broken.
