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

[ventureblake]

Even though it was nothing but slander, thanks for the heads up and pics. Gonna go grab the magazine today.

Definitely looks like these will be my favorite Bron so far. Look very lightweight which I'll definitely appreciate with these stick legs lol

 

[dbff]

These pictures are appreciated - the shoe looks somewhat better in them. It's amazing that good pictures haven't been leaked yet...

Still, these Slam shots don't change the fact that the 13s are among my three least favorite LeBron's.

All in on the Plum/berry colorway.

Pass on HOAL 2.0's.   

Repped for posting those @Dafilman   

 

[thapointguy]

Well damn

Might be in on the mulberry

I'm not saying as little as 3 CW's, no way. 10-12 seems fair, but the more they release I feel the less creative each one is, which, to me correlates to your "finding ones you like". Cuz I'm like you, I don't buy what doesn't grab me. In the end though Nike will release what they like and will continue until the trends of buying change.

The berry colorway looks good.. doesn't match the Cavs jerseys in the slightest though. First pair might be an ID

I honestly understand why it's so many colors too. Well, I think I do. Basically, nike makes so much off of a pair that they would want to maximize profits as best they can especially with the amount of money per year that these athletes get from nike.
I mean, if bron is making $20 mil a season from nike, how much of his endorsed merchandise must nike sell before it can go into the green as well as get a profit that makes it worth while?

The base design is there so it's just a matter of throwing more color palettes which in turn gets a consumer to buy multiple pairs. I know I'm saying what you already know, but it's much easier for me to have peace with things when I think I understand why.

Finally, I generally like most of the pairs that drop of I like the colors. For example, I loved the colors of the 9s. So much that I had like 20-24 pairs. We've seen others do the same with other brons too. It's usually only a few that make me say yuck.

is that a gold dollar lebron symbol

no flame suit needed

 though with me co-signing you may need one

Red Paisely are better than the KC, the details on the RC are just ridiculous and it's the best ext period of all exts

KC are my favorite. Probably because I was totally in love with them when pics leaked and then they did not release in Europe 

 

[kanyeezy411]

Those two cw's from the magazine do not appeal to me.

Maybe I will check out the iD options before I buy a "regular" pair

 

[flesh prince]

Someone shop a SVSM/St. Pattys joint on the pic w/ them around Brons neck.

 

[dafilman]

I am already waiting on the elites...but to be honest they do look better in those pics.  But that just raises them from hot boo boo to lukewarm boo boo 

 

[kanyeezy411]

I finally understand what the plate on the tongue is for 

It's just: XIII 

Who at nike had the "brillant" idea to place it on the tongue 

 

 

[djlunchbox]

Time to join the convo. Like the 12s I need to see these in person or better pics.

 

[kingkoopa]

Ok ok, we getting som where.

My issue is I wear bb shoes for style not to hoop.

The posite piece at the bottom insures a tight lace.

I dont wear my shoes with the laces tied tight.

Thats a basketball thing.

 

[tommym1609]

Berrys look better there but still no dice. Xmas and black/purple all in on

I am hoping on the long shot that it's really like a strap and there is some way to loosen it up or prop it up because that would be hard with some jeans

 

[vood99]

They should've had Lebron wear a team colourway that matched the uniform instead of those 2 colourways.

 

[Jokegeta]

first time in a long time, that I have to say.......These Lebron 13s are trash.

I get you for sure fam. The bottom line is the profit for sure. AND if nobody likes the plethora of colors released...they give us iD...so nobody is really losing anywhere in this...except maybe our wallets. But then again...them disco's

So do the laces go under that middle piece of posite? Didn't know the posite went all the way across

Thats what Im saying.

Shoes have been so hard to order online simply because of sizing.

I think retro jordans are the only shoes I wear the same size 1-14

These look lke a sizing issue.

And they still winning when we getting them discounts

I think the real losers are the vendors that are marking them down.

And it's crazy but nike is still winning when the RTV happens because the shoes are selling at $150 at a lot of outlets.

 

[jinkazama]

Not my steez but they look good on Lebron. I'd cop on disco to ball in.

This model makes the Kobe X look like a visual masterpiece
