Was switching out the laces on my Swingmans and decided to throw them on the Big Bangs since they matched the mission patch...

Copped these for my girl today. Never gave them much attention but today they caught my eye. I swapped the laces for her blackout laces. I think it was OD with the pink laces. She loved them. (or so she tells me
)

I was hoping they would add at least a gum sole on the Aways if not a glittered clear sole. For that price I'd just rock my custom black/gold instead and get the Kobe Elite.

Seriously though...what did happen to that?As much as I don't like white shoes, the homes are pretty nice. No chance in hell for $250 retail, but still nice. I won't be touching this model for $250, just not worth it.

The home elites are pretty hot. I hope they keep the colorways simple and classy for that edition, kinda like a post season shoe. No south beaches, no red carpets etc..... I also hope (for the actual Lebron fans out there) that he sticks to those colorways released and no PE versions so the fans can wear what he wears. Or at least own em, because I know a lot of you dudes don't wear your kicks
anyway.... I'll more than likely pass on both elites (Kobe's too). Just can't get down with all the price hikes. Nike taking advantage of us whenever they can needs to stop. At least I think so....

Respectfully speaking I thought this was supposed to be a forum on sneakers and not ECON 101. Lol but I don't like the fact they 250 but I work hard so I should be able to buy what I want when I want. The quality on these promos are outstanding and furthermore I like the black ones over the white but I would cop the whites depending on how the the sbs look. I'm not a hype man I just like a good looking shoe and you can't argue with that. Hopefully I can get my hands on both to end my lebron 9 collection. 10s got a helluva standard to live up to. The 9s were epic!!!

Not even understanding how they got from those to the elites but I heard the X will incoporate some of the proto's tech into it(exposed flywire). Was looking foward to them too.

kevlar doesnt hold up well in cold conditions and its heavy..... nike put vectran in the original hyperdunk for kobe at the olympics... Vectran is better..... but nike was so cheap and sed F the public just put nylon instead

At first I liked the Away more....but now I like the Home more. Both are very nice though. So do we assume that these fit the same way as the regular 9s (half size up)?

Only four colorways of the Elites are releasing correct? Im sure Ill end up with at least one. Its gonna be funny how quickly people change their minds when the release date gets closer and we see more pics. Initial reactions to lebrons are almost always negative but by the end of the day most of us cop a pair

Just read up on Vectran vs Kevlar and there pretty much the same even though Kevlar is cheaper to produce but I think Vectran will become more readily available in the near future it just came into commercial use in the 90s. My sister who is a polymer scientist also confirmed for me that they are very similar in structure too (She graduated from MIT)
