THE LEBRON 13 THREAD *Elites released**Command Force 6/11/16

[dark steel]

Too early to give thumbs up or thumbs down but the tech alone "sounds" amazing. I'm kinda meh on the appearance based on the pics seen so far.

 

[the connoisseur]

I'm definitely getting a Zo vibe from these as well.......but I like the looks of them so far.

I'm okay with the added height, as long as they're not much heavier than the XII.

at least we upgraded a bit to like a sweet potato for this pic.  not sure how i feel.  need to see other colors, this color seems more like its trying to hide details of the shoe

I hope this is the launch pair....instacop 

 

[bthomas]

Satisfied?

actually yes

 

[bthomas]

Joggers are ok, if I was younger Id probably wear them

nothing at all wrong with joggers... never listen to nt on clothing... great place for shoe discussion... horrible place for clothing discussion

with that said... im referring to joggers worn like a man... not the girly tights

 

[sneakergameinsane]

Look like the IX's on the back/side.


Matter of fact, they look like a IX and X's fusion.

They look like the Lebron 9s in the back part of the shoe. I guess Nike is going into are archives as they seems be running out of ideas for upcoming Lebrons.

Those remind me of them Air Hawk's GP used to finesse with the sole of the xii's.

 

[mood indigo]

That's a whole lotta shoe right there, a bit too much shoe for my tastes. I hope they work for LeBron this upcoming year, considering all of the problems he has had in the past with his footwear.

Did some tracing over the blurry image. Couldn't figure out what the black thing that goes over the top is.. curious to see what it turns out to be. Could be nothing. 

From the other images I thought the swoosh would be larger like the middle sketch. Almost like the mercurials. But i guess it's more like the 12 elites. 

Last sketch is myself hoping to see the reverse swoosh like the X again someday.. I just really liked how that was done. 

 

[ventureblake]

dude that's awesome! repped

Excellent sketches.

As for your confusion, do you mean those areas that you shaded in your sketch? If so, this is the first thing that came to mind when I saw them:

"Computer-aided engineering allows designers to customize individual Flyweave uppers by the megapixel. Material modifications allow the addition of small pockets that may be filled for padded comfort or stability. For example, foam cushioning inserted into an open Flyweave pocket on a shoe’s tongue reducing impact to the navicular bone on the top of the foot. Flywire cables can also be integrated into the Flyweave upper’s structure on the medial and lateral sides for added strength and support."

I'm assuming that those are padded areas for cushioning and support.

I'm beyond tired of that forefoot swoosh, but they look good from your sketch to me. I would've liked the third design the most though; they're like a futuristic Air Zoom Generation.

That's exactly what that is. I made a tiny question mark on the first sketch. I guess it's like the pad that's on the side. Thanks for the link.

I don't mind the forefoot swoosh it's just the size that bothers me. It seems like an odd proportion.. It might look good in the final photos. We shall see.

Well from this blurry pic it appears there might be a chance to have a normal lacing system that doesn't require a strategy like the 12s. I'm on the fence right now. Can't say like can't say I don't.

 

[thejisback]

Do those grey shoes two of the other players are wearing look like another possible colorway of the 13?

 

[Olympus]

Ehhhh... I really don't know. Last pic got me leaning away.
