Mangos aren't appealing at all to me.

Swingmans and Dunkmans look better

Neither player won a ring in their respective sports but that's not stopping people from buying their shoes. Barkley's are selling good but no rings. Shoes and career are very different. People have shown they'll buy what looks good if they aren't a fan and fans have shown they'll buy whatever even if it's ugly if they are a fan.

Exactly. At the end of the day, shoes have to look very nice to be considered great, regardless of how the player does.

Thoughts on the Big Bangs on eBay coming from Hong Kong and Korea? Legit?

 

[kingjay718]

Elite's ain't selling out at that price tag. No matter if the quality is top notch. And with the XII's on the horizon, the chances of them selling out are even slimmer.

Nonetheless, I'll get a pair via discount.

dark grey/charcoal/, black, or white T.... keep it simple. No need to match perfectly.

And that windy city fitted

sorry, but I really dont like those in any colorway... do you though, just my opinion.

This is how it plays out:
we'll say JT (made up) is on the fence about copping elites and resigns himself to the fact that "OF COURSE" the shoe will hit discount or just sit. Release date comes and hungry packs of resellers ready to feed on the pockets of consumers devour what they can. Logic dictates that somewhere in the country a couple pair sit around "post" RD. JT hits up his favorite site and with every new post comes either the "they'll sit cuz they not hot" or "look at me now" pics of people flossin their drops. This goes on for a week and slowly but surely JT grows to like the elite more and more till he eventually looks for said shoe. Only to find that available stock has been grabbed up and fleabay prices skyrocket. Sadly this has or is happening as we speak, think MN's,SM,DM,Mangos,XMAS etc. etc. And the shoe doesn't necessarily need to be limited! be on the lookout for RD buy/sell forum post

I used to think the Mangoes were way better too, even after seeing them in the store. 
But the Swingman's look waaaay better on people's feet.

Especially in the daytime, the blue is like nothing I ever seen on a shoe.

   Not sure yet but that will be the only way I'll be copping either color

 

[sneakerlevell]

LeBron white elites look better ... IMO!

Can't see them becoming their own line, when they can't even decide what logo they want to use.

Are they going to use a signature, lion, crown or dunkman?
