To me the corks have got to be one of the most ugly shoes thats gonna be releasing.   Just my opinion on them anyway.

Now that cork texture is too much. The one Lebron had on in the photoshoot looked different than that. Perhaps that one up there got wet? lol

as am i. im a big fan of the X line. the 9 kind of came out of left field design wise. i feel like the X would of been a great follow up to the 8. timeline speaking. and design wise. the 9 was a radical change.

I think the X's are basically a lazy man's version of the LB 8 PS with a backward NIke Swoosh. They added the +nonsense to it to gas dudes up and make them think they were actually receiving something in return for the drastic price mark-up.

AFTER SEEING THE PRESSURES IN PERSON I FEEL THEY ARE PRETTY DAMN NICE...THAT RED SPARKLE PUSHES THEM OVER THE EDGE.. THE RED MIDSOLE IS SORT OF A BIT MUCH WHEN THEY ARE ON FEET...AND AT THE VERY LEAST I COULDNT SPEND 200 ON A BLACK RED SHOE WHEN I HAVE BUNDLES OF BLK/RD KICKS ALREADY... IF I COULD GET EM FOR 160..I WOULD BC THEY LOOK DAMN GOOD BUT NOT AT THEIR RETAIL PRICE

 

[richiedge]

That's a good question fam. Anyone else notice the fireberry's posted above have a regular swoosh, not a jeweled swoosh?
Maybe it's just the way the picture came out.

Speaking from experience, thats just the way the pic came out with the flash because the Jeweled swoosh reflects on the crown jewels. If pics were taken without the flash you'd see the jewel in the swoosh.

Picked up Pressures this morning, love them! The red speckle flakes on the Black upper was a nice touch. Here's the Gang so far

agree 100%, it amazes that some of these 10's are selling out/hyped; add on the fact that Nike is limiting some of these joints that would absolutely sit.  The gold medals and pressures(limited box edition) are good examples of that, don't get me wrong they are extremely clean colors although I would do without the clear sole(pressures).   I couldn't imagine if Nike decided to limit the bk/red 8's or Vet v1's like they're doing with these 10's, it would've been a complete joke.  I do agree that 10's would've been a great follow up to the 8's but I do appreciate how the 9 was very different from the 8. Lebron's 1-7 all looked like different shoes and the envelope  was being pushed more, especially 2-5; I wish they would go back to that kind of innovation.  IMO, I feel they played it safe with the 10's, it didn't blow me away at all.

I can honestly say nope. I might sense guys have been posting ID pix in here anyway. So far only the Dolphin's colorway looks good to me.

 

[thapointguy]

Customs by Mache. I like the midsole fade.

 

[thegatorviking]

nike pretty much switched the colors around and called them the christmas x's besides a couple of different minor details hahah  Either way there both the only X's that are must haves for me so far.

Pretty much. Although the 'satin' looking interior of the Xmas' looks dope, they really are the same shoe with the colors reversed. I still want em bad, but it's funny how easy some of these designer's jobs are.

Won't be able to get my hands on the jades, think trading gold meal KD's or teh scoring title KD's for a pair would be good?

I take back my previous statement of these being fire.

I feel that gripe some of ya'll mentioned.

Man.. Why can't that be leather? 

I don't know how I feel about that cork..

Still probably gonna cop..

But man.. 

 

[airdhazzal]

Niketown SF, plenty of sizes remain. First shoe I actually liked not because I fell into the hype, but just genuinely liked them. I mean these shoes look really really good.
