Give me feedback about insoles please. I always put Spenco stability insoles in all my sneaks. After I unlaced the Away XI I got today, I removed the insole on the left shoe, it states Lunarlon on it.

The sole was very thick, thicker than most insoles included in shoes. Should I keep the default Lunarlon insoles in these Away XI since they seem so unique? Or would it be alright for me to put the Spenco insoles I usually place in all my shoes?

And what exactly is the Lunarlon gimmick?

Lunarlon is the most comfortable cushioning set-up ever up until it destroys your knees and blows out your achilles like Kobe. Worth it? Yes.

Lower back injury = BOGUS EXCUSE BY NIKE

Nonsense, why would Nike tell LeBron what to say.
it's very clear that LeBron has anatomical issues with his feet, this effects the alignment of his spine.
This issue as most chiropractors know leads to back pain, that's why most sell custom insoles.

I believe back pain will be a common theme for LeBron as he ages.

Back pain is extremely common for Americans.

smh why couldnt the aways sit man...wanted to use a coupon code

I'm surprised they're selling so well. I had a bit of difficulty getting a size 12 today.

So am I better off keeping the default insoles in my Away XI? Or should I switch them out with my usual Spenco insoles? Sorry if I didn't get it if you were being playfully sarcastic.

Blk/pink colorway will be copped!

I personally like the KP's over the Aways but I have gotten a LOT more compliments about the Aways on feet than the KP's.

That loud red hue. KP are overrated in my opinion.

Saw the tws today and no hating involved, i was so underwhelmed. After buying the kps and aways, i feel that the tws are kinda boring. Im sure that to others its the perfect cw but not me. I thought ill be 3 out 3. But 2 out of 3 is still good.

 

[Shwa3 Ma3]

Xmas & Oregon Dunkmans are copped!!!

Nike can keep those garbage graffitis thou. Damn they ugly. :x

 

[Mr Dink]

Here's hoping Nike does what they did with the Jades and release the FIs again as a GR.

 

[laces1983]

Kicks-crew got the FI. Price is Lebron's jersey number that's all you need to know.

6$ ??

My spider sense is tingling. This is probably a Crown Jewel or Gold Medal (insert whatever quick strike). I'm bummed. I'm out of town and am at the mercy of crappy wifi versus the evil bots. But if Nike is feeling charitable or maybe the hype isn't too bad, maybe this will be like the N7 collection. But I doubt it.

And after seeing them on feet the other day, I can't see why they're $50 more or there is hype (besides the artificial demand and low numbers).

at least gold medal got normal box release (with nike sportpack item) , can someone confirm if there is chance nike gonna release forging iron in general package?

 

[gino2real]

Any stores in atl releasing these forging irons?

The thing with the default 'insole' is that it is actually a combination midsole/insole. It is all one piece that drops into the shoe and houses the cushioning system.

I would highly suggest keeping it in...

Nike had a thinner insert option for the kobe 8 where you could put your own support insole on top. Not sure if they'll release that for these 11s. Once you break them in, you MAY be able to fit your spenco on top.

Will you be playing in them or wearing casually?

 

[skip2mylou23]

Maybe I missed it but why are the forging irons $250?

Because it's limited and nike said so pretty much

3M lacelock.

 

[wrestlerj125]

can't you pretty much id the FI's.. I don't get this hype on them

can't find an 11.5 for a descent price.. my boy has a pair in jersey but I'm not driving an hour away for some pics..

lol they were $280 before Nike announced it's limited availability. probably should've hopped on that at the time, only $30 above retail and beats the odds of me copping off NDC, plus its gonna beat the resellers prices.

 

[blacklion23]

3M lacelock is a nice touch on the FI joints. Still doesn't justify the $50 price hike.

 

[ciscokid]

Nike doesn't need to justify the price. They already know ppl will purchase

 

[stryka12]

The LeBron 11 ‘Forging Iron’ will be available globally at select retail locations and Nike.com in November. This shoe will be Twitter Link only, please follow @nikestore for up to date information.

 

[Magic33]

I hate the FI's so I wouldn't tell anybody I know to pay a dime over retail on them.

But 300-350 for the BB9s is not even close to realistic, if it was I would own a pair.

Glad I got them back then then

I remember wanting a pair of KD IV's, but by the time I really was going to buy, the prices shot up.
