[dakidlo3]

Damn those are dope. Too bad we dont have a silver option

 

[sancho]

Yo!!! Lebrons feet/legs look all twisted in the pic. How is he standing like that lol

Hell Yea Was Wrong With Brah

 

[sancho]

Yea This Would Be Nice If It Was Like A Red Carpet Elite(Not Saying It Is)

 

[skep]

waiting for somebody to make a gif of that face lebron just made after that nasty dunk

I've been looking for anything and everything on them. They are on the calendars for May 4th and the pictures I come across are from store employees receiving them. There is also some nike lebron attire with the sport turquoise that is already out too. I'm READY

Nice!

Even with Jordan releasing all the c/w's he wore we still get more options now with Lebron as far as colorways available for purchase.

When I was a kid I wanted Jordans because I wanted to be able to play like him.

Lebron is great, but now that I'm grown I don't need him to validate my purchase by playing in them.

I buy X's because the c/w's are fire and look good with my outfits, not because Lebron dunked on Jason Terry in them. Lol but that's just me.

I don't understand what you mean about the hype eventually killing the line.

i wasnt stating that people should buy a particular shoe just because a particular star wears them. i just think its smarter brand mgmt to have your sig athlete wear the sig shoes that are available to the public. especially because you just dropped a pair that retails at 300 w/tax

and...the past few years we have seen a numerous amount of colorways that could have solidified the line (not that its not already) only to have the last 4 sigs fall just short of what they could have been

i, myself dont care what lebron does or doesnt do in any shoe. but, the HWC all blue suede 7s, HWC, svsm 8 v1, champ IX elite, ring night X, and maybe, the red suede X (which doesnt have a release date yet (that i know of) are just a few pairs that could have released that didnt.

i just want nike to stop playing the "hype" game and start releasing more of the top colorways. thats all.

stop having your sig player wear 35 different pairs of kicks a season and only making 8 of them available for purchase. (sarcastically)

 

[xplosivejeff]

Can anyone confirm if that swoosh is metallic pewter?

 

[nikekid6]

jus cant get down with the elites

 

[andfattoo]

Agreed, I Don't Actually Get The Point Of Nike Making Him PE's That Don't Help The Market, But Maybe There Isn't A Point Idk

 

[Ja's 2¢]

surprised Lebron couldn't request colored CFs on his pes. Rub it in to the public.

 

[1ix8vi]

I don't think those are any worse than the elites that released yesterday. Would've made more sense to have that Elite pack drop in team colors for their respective line, instead of being gold based.

 

[brewc1ty]

well we have almost 2 months to see more PE Elites :x :x

edit: nvm

 

[T0INE]

Those Elite PEs are alright, nothing special.

Wonder how his road PEs will look?

 

[mandingo of sneakers]

I think Lebron's PE colorway tonight was wack. The home elites and Superhero colorway are both better IMO.

 

[skep]

Nobody noticed birdman wearing X's in every game lately?

 

[dark steel]

LeBron probably will have a different p.e. for each playoff game until Miami reaches The Finals...

Trying to build enough interest for people to fork over $280+ or $320+ is gonna be pretty hard to do...IMO.

I hope nobody decides to pay anywhere near retail for these Elites.

 

[nyhockeyref93]

So whose coping the superhero CW this week?

Don't think I have the desire to drop $260 on them...for now. Supposedly these will be readily available, more so then the ones that came out yesterday

I would think LeBron would at least sport the White/Gold/Black's at some point early in these playoffs to support the fact they just released.

Same thing as last year. If they reach the finals then he will wear the gold ones.

I don't think he'll break out the White/Gold pair until The Finals...just like last year.

Gold = Championship...but I could be wrong.

 

[forward]

Not feeling those elites..especially at those prices.

agree, i like the regular Xs better

 

[Nipsey3000]

if i'm not mistaken, lebron did wear the white/blk/gold elite IXs before the finals...i know he had ones with a red swoosh to start...but i think he wore the white/gold in the conference finals...

i know for sure he wore the blk/gold before the finals
