Official Revised LeBron X Thread: Pressures Launch 11/2 Details pg. 1

[hugree]

So after playing ball in the X's for the second time I have arrived at the conclusion that these may be my favorite LeBron sig to date. Not counting the 20-5-5(One of my fav performers of all time) and soldier line my previous favorite LeBron performers included the 2, 8 ps and 9 Elite. Prior to getting the X my main concern was how the new max zoom would feel and perform. I'm a guard so full length max is too high off the ground for my liking(one reason why I didnt like the 8 V1 and V2). The X being zoom was responsive enough for me to change direction and make quick cuts. Everything about the X impresses me. From the great traction to lockdown to comfort especially no toe pinching or creasing. Im absolutely in love with this sneaker. JP and the team did it right with this one.
Sidenote: found it interesting that the insole on the Jades didnt have the usual LeBron logo stitched or printed on but rather has perforations that make up the LJ crown logo. Also great attention to detail with the diamond patterns on the tongue. When you lace up the third to last eyelet the laces fit right into the groove. I found that pretty cool. And the X tongue is 100X better than the 9 tongue.

I am so glad to hear that! I haven't balled in mine yet, but 20-5-5's, II's, 8 P.S. and 9 Elite are also my favorite balling shoes

@FLUnlocked - "They will be available at select Foot Lockers on 11/10."

They'll be online too right? And eastbay? What about finishline?

 

[JRaW’d]

the PS's posted awhile back set the bar way too high for these. i would've expected to see multi colored uppers by now but all of em have pretty much been one color...

about 10 colorways have surfaced and i've yet to see any that are worth 180 to me. let alone 270.

copped 9 ix's last go round but i really dont see myself comin outta pocket for these.

not that i think the ix's are better design wise b/c considering the possibilities, i like these more. they are droppin the ball somethin crazy on colorways for these tho...

I do not know if they will be online.

Eastbay and finishline will have them:

ALWAYS GOOD TO HEAR A BALL PLAYER REVIEW EVEN THO I NEVER USE MY KICKS FOR BALLING

Eric Bledsoe is rocking the Blue Diamonds right now in the Clips pre-season game against the Nuggets. Ty Lawson is still rocking the CG IX's.

"Mini LeBron" aka Eric Bledsoe was a beast last night 25/8/6/5

was hoping for overtime, but Ty Lawson hit the game winning layup with no time on the clock

one of the more entertaining pre-season games I've seen in awhile

[kicksflyloukan]

Jades releasing again 11/10. I am completely hype

 

[Nipsey3000]

i would cop those red/blacks with the quickness

the special pic on the inside looks yellow...Ferrari inspired???

 

[the connoisseur]

Looks like a solar red. But I don't have a clue as to the possible inspiration for those.

 

[mcgregor triangle]

The inspiration is that red shoes usually look dope. R they ID's maybe?

 

[galvatronprime]

I like the color options for for the IDs. Wonder what graphics you can put on them on that part where the little logo ( the dunkman, Lebrons..number, etc).is?

So FTL went from a wide release at all Foot Lockers to a limited release at select Foot Lockers for the "Cutting Jade" rerelease. I saw that one coming...

 

[twnty8]

would you be getting them if they were $200 or $270?

Nah, Just not feeling them..

 

[jada2001retro]

I got TTS and they fit perfect.

I hope I am okay, I wear pretty thin Dri-fit socks.

If not, I will just sell them.

 

[onlydsdunks703]

Cant wait for the larger release of the Jades. Kinda tough to hit up HoH when its in a bad part of MD

What's up with these socks? Were they the customs made at 21 Mercer?

 

[ihust1e]

Does anyone actually tie their shoes anymore?

I do unless i'm just around the house

I dont see how people can walk around with their laces all loose, i need that lockdown feeling some of the "lace job" nowadays got dudes looking like clowns when their laces look like spaghetti

If you are buying the correct size shoe, lacing or not wouldnt be an issue

 

[sneakerfan1]

Have not followed this thread much, but the Jade's have caught my eye moreso because they're different than pretty much anything I currently own.  The whole select FTL thing is typical Nike.  Becoming way too much of a hassle just to cop some shoes.  Will try for them, but if I can't land them I'll keep it moving.  The colorways that I've seen so far for this silo leave a lot to be desired.  I don't mind plain, but they're just pretty uninspired overall.

Be very interesting to see what LBJ will be wearing today???
