Official Lebron X Thread Vol. Early Bird

[mikehoncho05]

First post here....had to comment...does anyone else think that upper is inside out? Thats why both swooshes are appearing as backwards. Also because it's detached and yet to be sewn to the sole and it appears to be laced differently at the front. I also don't see a tongue underneath?

   shoe cant be inside out it would show the heated fuse if it was plus the lace eylets are sticking out  the shoe not the inside and the tongue is there

I've never seen the inside of hyperfuse or pretty much any shoe removed from it's sole but it just seems strange that Nike would choose to put their logo on backwards twice on one of their biggest selling shoes. I wouldn't put it past them to try to be different but just seems strange to me. Also why would the eyelets sticking up like that be appealing and/or functional. Also that appears to be a patch or something on the wing not the tongue. It could very well be but just doesn't appear that way. Regardless I'm sure we'll know soon enough what it looks like all put together.

I might be wrong but I think so far there are 3 versions of the 10s
-Regular 10s 

-10s with Nike + tech, the ones that will cost $315 

-P.S Model that will drop in 2013

oh I was thinking that the P.S model would basically be Elite Xs with Nike+ tech bundled in.

Nike has been doing that FOREVER

+1 Because this is actually really early to be seeing such a good picture of the shoe's components I mean it's still May right now lol At this rate we'll probably have a the full blown actual picture of the shoe by the Summer

Lebron might wear them in the Olympics hence the Olympic sample CW
Didn't lebron debut the VIs in the olympics??? Please correct me if im wrong

 

[airjordan jb23]

One thing I learned about past LeBron releases is to wait until actual pics surface... Until then I'll hold off

yep, he did.  I was hoping he would do the same thing this year.

 

[gone in 60 seconds]

Lol @ MIGHT have a pic by summer when it's been CONFIRMED that LBJ will debut these in the Olympics.

 

[sneakergameinsane]

So its safe to assume that the olympic cw will release at least two weeks before the Bred cw like the IV's then
Because the olympic VI's released on Oct 11th while the Bred cw released on the 31st

I thought he is debuting the Hyperdunk+ for wear in the Olympics. I haven't heard anything since the unis were introduced so I may be wrong.

Nah.... Im sorta letting this one ride.  As I mentioned to you offline and its ok to say in an open forum..
The X ride will be unreal.

The X in my opinion is better than the IX but not better than the VII and VII v1 and v2.

Oddly Im looking forward to this..but also looking forward to the XI as the Jordan XI was Brons favorite shoe and look for HIS to have some DNA from that...ex: the Bron VII/XI

Also... when Designers travel to show their athletes early samples of the design the tooling is separate from the upper... I wouldnt get too tied up into what you are looking at right now.  Just sayin.

 

[nikerider]

All I can say is that the X will be a winner based on the past few years of the Bron's. Nike knows this and put's a lot of effort into it.

 

[thapointguy]

So the Bron XI will have patent leather again? I'm down with that.

i like the new material technologies, but it would be refreshing to see patent leather on a new shoe

 

[trueprada]

idk bout these i need a better pic

 

[marcushatten]

I thought the 9s were mad ugly. The 7s were dope, and the 8s even better. Especially the CG, Yankees, south beach, entourage, sprites. All sick cw's. But the 9s i thought were hideous. Im curious for these

 

[moneylicious]

The 9s 'sounded' like a performance beast but I was mad disappointed with the on court performance.

I thought it was going to be something like V3s, but they were stiff and not comfy at all. The Xs seem promising tho.

Comfort wise, the IVs were the best for me. Although it wieghed a lot. I only own the IVs and VIIIs. I like the idea of creating a comfort-first bball shoe. Then later on release a preformance orientated version down the line. Thats why I think the LeBron line does really well.

really? the idea of the more re-used designs doesnt excite me
