Stage 2: The sample picture is finally released and EVERYBODY hates the shoe. Complaints are abound in this stage.

Stage 3: (Current stage) Final release pictures are released, the Chinas are revealed, marketing campaign starts up...everybody is getting hyped, and all of a sudden the shoe is universally loved.

Stage 4: People not in a House of Hoops city complains that all the good colorways aren't a General Release, and the resellers start to flood Ebay with the exclusives. At least someone will be warned or banned for advertising shoes for sale in an improper manner.

Stage 5: People start to fill in the gaps of their collection and look forward to the Soldiers/Post Season versions...The Lows make a brief appearance, then it's time for summer and the wait for the next year version.

Genius, sir.

seriously

^^Yea I noticed that. Sounds interesting.
Looks like they removed the knicks CW off the release sheet and replaced it with a Miami vice CW.

Probably the HWC colorway of the Heat.

Cant wait for the pics..

interesting design...not sure where the lion symbol fits in though....was wondering, in the wild kingdom doesn't the "king lion" lead and protect its pride, instead of deciding to join another's?

I see what you did there but...

When young malelions reach maturity, they leave the pride to find another pride to join. Theyoung male will need to challenge older males, and to win, in order to oustanother male from a pride he wants to join.

^WOOOOOO (ROSS VOICE) BLAKA BLAKA!!! Shots fired....Damn you learn something new everyday.

 

[jordan23 4xl]

whats the release date on the china's (Asia edition)?

 

[petenash]

ElderWatsonDig... makes quite a bit of sense... isn't it interesting how lions challenge each other to be the best parallels to that of humans? appreciate the knowledge man...

Yeah man, honestly it is quite interesting. I found that information last night on the web. After reading it over and over, it somewhat parallels what Lebron is doing...and it's kind of cool. Maybe had he not been so self-absorbed with the whole "Decision" fiasco he wouldn't be receiving as much bad press.

Help my buddy on a pair of chinas~ Tried them on and i should say these are the most comfiest brons to date!! The insoles are really soft way better then the 7s~ And the fit is better too this time. Dont sleep on them bron's fans!!

Would be a Miami Vice like CW similar to the AM 95 Miami Vice. There is no Green or a green like color in Miami's HWC jerseys.

 

[that wave]

Blackouts

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

I cant wait to see more pics of theese colorways..

Knicks and MIAMI VICE colorway... leggoooooo

 

[royalflush1230]

I'm hoping that Filament Green on the Miami Vice is miniscule.

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

 Yes, i know its a white shoe, just trying to give this thread some more life
