LeBron XI WTL(US 9/13), Maison Collection(8/23) - Updated 8/18

Lol.

How does less Posite material, more plastic and no carbon fiber cost $75 more?

Last year's elites at least attempted to steal your money with dignity.

This is just disrespectful

 

[beerdrum108]

I feel that a lot of the cost goes to fund engineering teams that design the shoe. So you basically pay $75 for people to figure out how to cut off material and give you less. Nooo thanks

For some reason Elites shape looks super weird

 

[cooperfiddy]

Still not a fan of the elites. And for $275 it's an easy pass.

Everytime I see a pic of the Elites, I always think of these

The XI Elites look like something Calvin Johnson would play in

 

[sneakerfree]

Those will be the soldier elites that he rocks in the post season.

Can anyone comment on the fit of the All-Star AW77 pull-over?

You'll probably find what you're looking for in the Clothing Thread

I really don't see any reason for the price increase on Elites, I mean really why? What's the shiny metallic part made of adamantium or something ...... and I know they do it just because they can but really though why, how can they justify this, they don't even look more Elite than the regular version

 

[captainjackson]

nike thinks ELITE=$75 more lol. lebron won't be wearing them so they'll hit discount racks like the X elites.

 

[domosirchazzo]

^they'll do some press event with a ridiculously elaborate explanation that will make people comfortable with paying more.

Can't search a specific thread on mobile as far as I know, makes it a little difficult. Know a good amount of people in this thread got it, figured I'd get a good response instead of saying to search lol. But thank you.

 

[dark steel]

Don't search, just ask like you did in here. I'm guessing it fits the same as other AW77 pullovers since I don't remember anyone complaining about the sizing.

 

[peep the kicks]

The 8 v2 was fuego

 

[thapointguy]

Maybe Elites will include several cushioning set ups

Kevlar EVERYWHERE. Satin lining. Just wait

As with every year, half of these "easy pass" posters will flip flop like a fish out of water.

1 good thing about the elites, they'll be in the outlets and people will cop just because.

 

[xplosivejeff]

I said this before elites surfaced and I still stand by it. Nike got it right the first time this time in the xi. Although Bron might not agree

 

[Mr Dink]

So, what are you guys gonna do if Nike raises the price another notch with the XII? Me personally, I might buy one or two colorways, but I certainly won't go ham like I did with the XI. I'm most likely gonna switch my focus on KDs.

you mean WHEN they raise the price for the next shoe.

 

[xplosivejeff]

For me, it really depends on how much they raise the price and how hot the shoe turns out. I can definitely see myself finding alternative basketball sneakers once price exceeds $270 retail. Most I paid for a sneaker was $270(crown jewels and gold medals) and part of it was because it was equipped with the sports pack. I only got the lebron ix and x elites cause of discount codes. Once prices exceed $270 there better be revolutionary technological advances, not just flyknit/carbon fiber/"premium materials" bs

 

[barbarianbob]

Yea they'll probably through all the bells and whistles into the XII's from hyperfuse, flyknit, foamposite, flywire, 360 Zoom, zippers, straps and a removable insole and charge $250 for 'em

 

[The7onius]

My boy just called me mad as hell, his girl spilt nail remover on the front of his GKs. He tried wiping it with a damp cloth and it made it even worse, I told him the best thing to do is let it dry.

 

[djkoldkrush]

crimson elites are a must cop... the black ones a re growing on me but the sliver ones are a easy pass which is good cause they are the 1st release and i can see how much the UK price is going to be. 

I hate the fact in the UK we dont know the  price until the the moment it appears on NDC, they never let you know the UK retail price in advance which is mad annoying.

2/3 more for me then im out, those all black prism looking CW's the crimson elite's maybe the black elite or the 4th elite which they will probably drop if the colours on point
