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

Starting to see that slow migration to the XII thread [emoji]128514[/emoji] I've never seen this thread this far down on page 1 (random)

But the 12s are so hideous. I can't buy a single pair of em. Don't matter what colors they slap on em, the silhouette is disrespectful. Looks like they went with the same cushioning too. Just God awful

I want them polka dots but I bet they gonna be a hard cop. With the "fancy" name and QS title.

Those polka dots will be the easiest cop of the year, 0 hype on them.
You can be in a coma the week they release and still cop for retail.

They'll go to outlets and then the discount rack in the outlet and then Marshalls and then Ross and finally end up in a thrift store.. all on the day of release.

Anybody see Acid Lions just sitting at their local stores on display?

X's take multiple ***** on 11s and 12s and that's really all there is

Agreed. They're the absolute BEST to hoop in. But they've pretty much dried up in size 13 DS for a reasonable price. Goes for any colorway

I saw them yesterday noon at Nike Store at Long Island, NY Roosevelt Field mall.

So now that the XI model looks to be winding down, I think it gets summed by this:

Style>substance

Shoes had great colorways and unique and creative patterns/styles.
The problem was the basic silhouette was trash on feet. Looks too wide from the top down (your primary view while wearing them) and pinches toes worse than any shoe I've owned. That toe box is for ballerinas. Totally uncomfortable and bulky looking from the top and back views.

The Elites have a better fit and looked better on feet (for some reason don't seem as bulky), but that price was way too steep. Lows i have not worn yet so can't comment but they look great.

kinda sorta agree but I didn't have the toe issues and I think the XI looks better with shorts. been enjoying the pairs I have left this summer.

yes. footaction and I think DTLR (urban account). acid lions are a super GR and can still be found if you look for the most part.

View media item 1130045Wasn't sure at first but seeing how much WTL resell prices have dropped I'm very happy to have got his in return through trade.

Everglades came in from Jimmy Jazz. Def worth the $149.

 One of my favorite CWs and I feel underrated.

the look nice from a distance, but once you get upclose and see how the print looks like a sticker.. it immediatly turns me off from them.

 

[hulk7280]

 
Am I the only one that likes the lows better than the regular?

I do..   they are 10x more comfortable and actually made for a human foot

i would say you won.. especially since you have a chance at release day to cop

The 12's actually look good to me! Those "Instincts" look incredible IMO

Yep, seen them at a few different Finish Line's. I'd cop if I hadn't already picked them up from Richard's Sporting Goods with the $15 off.

You could be right but they are the cheapest of the 3 and re-sellers could try to pick them up. You know how fing dumb some re-seller's are.

I agree.

arent you the one who was posting in here like everyday talking about how lucky and happy you were to have copped from Australian release? 

 I guess you liked em so much you had to trade them for kobe's and Jordans
