*OFFICIAL* NIKE LEBRON 16

Customized my Bo Jackson XVIs

Better? Worse?

They are fire to me. Nike please hire me to design some of your color ways, at the very least.

Since you asked.... Ouch... Nope. The color blocking on this model is what makes it great. I could have seen dying the ginger navy for an OG look, but this here is a disaster. Is that blue or black? Anyway, as long as you like them, you're good!
 
I buy performance basketball shoes to wear when I play basketball.

Is this unheard of or something?

Not attempting to come at you sideways but How is this even a serious question when the shoe clearly falls under the performance basketball category and contains tech aimed at meeting the standards of the top athletes in the world or whatever the marketing lingo says??

I wear the shoes for the intended purpose.

I totally get that a lot of people wear for casual use.

I made light of people wearing matching fits and grandpa threw a fit.

I said all along people have to please themselves first but y’all choose to ignore that I said that and are running with it like I said you cannot wear basketball shoes casually.

Once I stop hooping I’m not buying $185 shoes just to walk around in.

Vans look great with everything and are comfortable enough for me.

people talk about it in here and most of the threads all the time.....what i think the issue is or why you get such a hard time when you mention it is that you've been so negative at this point that no one cares what you buy the shoes for, you're viewed as a negative nancy as much as i'm viewed as having outlandish and unpopular tastes

No I think it’s that NT is such an echo chamber that when anyone challenges the groupthink here y’all act like I said some Ninjahood nonsense.
 
Just waiting on those GITD and I’m done. Blue SBs grew on me but won’t wear them enough. Lavas most likely going to be white knit so auto-pass for me even though they’re probably going to be flames.

Nah,

Same about the Blue SBs. I like them. That's also what I figured out about the KING joints. I'll never wear them enough to keep them.
 
Black. I left The blue on the midsole. The brown-on-white was ugly imo. To each his own, but they are waay better to me.
 
So I guess these drop 4/19.....I'm just ready for this year's LeBron to be done already.

In regard to threads on this forum, many tend to see it as their private clubhouse where they can exist in a bubble, being sheltered from reality outside of the shelter.
People do not want to hear that this sort of behavior is not normal, anti social, anti intellectual. On this thread in particular, they'd allow an outright racist make horrible comments about LeBron, but when someone challenges the individual, the challenge con is declared to be a derailment of the thread. So there may not be many dudes who hoop on this thread, simply digging or looking for a hot shoe to wear. Someone comes on and discusses the shoe for its intended purpose, and again, there is something wrong with this position, because majority rules, right?

Martin...Martin...Martin....he so crazy...:lol:

ALL OF THIS!

This thread specifically has been complicit with racist BS by a user that was outed as a complete FRAUD and proud BIGOT. (See Duke30’s permanent ban from NT).

You guys were also silent when JamesPatrick was making blatantly racist comments for which he got permanently banned from the site.

I stir the pot but I’m not in here saying any racist BS or insisting that people “stick to the shoes” when anyone says anything out of line.

Saying “stick to the shoes” is allowing inappropriate behavior to live freely here and that’s bogus and you guys know it.

Yes this is the Lebron 16 thread but if you make some weird color commentary and someone calls you on it, the person calling the offender out is not “derailing the thread”.

That’s not even what’s going on. Nobody came at anyone for wearing shoes to hoop. Why would they?buddy was coming at someone that likes to match his shoes to his outfit. Which wtf is wrong with that. Anyone can do what they want with shoes, and we should be able to talk about the differences but don’t make fun of somebody for how they dress, that’s just arrogant and unnecessary.

Preach. I helped put that idiot out in the nba thread.
 
And bro who’s being racist right now? And how do people being so in the past correlate with buddy acting like he’s the be all end all of how to wear lebrons because he plays basketball and is so modern that he would never wear a ball shoe casually
 
I don't think it's fair to say "you guys" and "this thread" as if we are ALL condoning behavior like that. Some of us don't jump around to a bunch of different threads and see patterns from particular NT members, which can carry over into this one for instance. I speak for myself, but if it was happening in here...I'm assuming it was handled/cleaned up by the moderators.
