Came back to see a picture of a door.

 

[serstylz2]

Saw a bunch of new posts .. just new we finally had at least one pic..

The best way to describe the new versio of the 14 I seen is that it looks like a hybrid of the KD9 and a modern football trainer ALA the megatron series.

I personally don't like that but some will.

And I'll say it again , the strap is very reminiscent of the Lebron 2.

If true. Is the strap removable?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I saw pics of the outsole already. It was like orange and white or something and it had the coordinates for Akron or something. Again, not completely sure....

 

[jamesandstl]

And it had the same hex type setups as the 12 and 13 or whatever

I got raked across the coals in the 12 thread when he described the ASG shoe and I posted a leprechaun sketch due to it being a little vague....

Anyways, he may have seen something lol

 

[pacmagic2002]

First he said we would like the 14, now he is saying he is dissapointed with it. SMH.

Welp, at least i have low expectations now............But how in the hell are they still tweaking the shoe when it comes out next month? That doesnt make much sense.

The white and orange and white outsole you described certainly matches one of the Lebron 14 colorways. White/Silver/Orange, post the pics you saw maybe?

Kinda similar to the LeBron VI/Zoom Power. Most of us thought the Zoom Power was dope, but Mark Parker thought otherwise and called an late audible.

13's started off hot but fizzled. Crazy how they sent most of the colorways that was slated to hit retailers straight to outlets.



Around this time last year, dwoodactennis got his Lebron 13's about two weeks later. And now, we havent even seen a sample or a prototype of ths 14.

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the your favourite Lebron shoe, where would the 14 be for you to not buy it?

 

[dwoodactennis]

Marcus Jordan was just talking about JB/Nike cracking down on leaked pics a few days ago, saying they get heated when leaks happen before they want them to on new flagship models.  According to him both Nike and JB are taking serious measures to stop it from happening.   He all but guaranteed that his new Trophy Room exclusive retro Jordans dropping in late 2016/early 2017 won't be seen until he decides this time around after the XX3's leaked early by store employees.  Maybe this is what's happening, if there isn't info about a launch event with Bron soon though, that will be troubling.

If its another one of these non tongue systems itll be another loss for the lebron line its downhill since they got rid of a normal tongue the last one with a traditional tongue was the 11 now i think these on piece shoes kill the ability to wear them casually thats what kills the lebron since the 11 people buy shoes to wear casually and for bball and the past couple years they havent been good in both aspects

Only reason they were a top selling shoe was cause of their price at 200 and then when they hit outlets those number are all misleading everybody knows that

I looked online and couldn't find it. I swae it was posted a bunch of pages back in either this thread or the 13 thread. I will try to keep looking. Surely I'm not the only person who saw them

FACTS!

Im glad to see someone feels the way i do please nike have a traditional tongue system and things can be fixed, on a side note im pretty sure there is a sketch of the kyrie 3 floating around and its gonna have a stupid one piece upper with no traditional tongue either so maybe we will get lucky and at least one nike sig athlete (kobe) will have a traditional tongue system

I can't completely agree with you about the tongue, while a few of my Lebrons would have benefitted from a normal tongue, my XII's or XII low's are pretty comfortable with a one piece bootie... Maybe it all comes down to whether you have the right foot type for a lebron...

For stricly playing ball I like the Lebrons however the appeal in a casual sense is killed with the one piece bootie makes it too hard to pull off casually the azg to the lebron 11 were easy to rock casually and boy do i miss leather on shoes as well I think Nike needs to step their game up on the lebrons and focus on putting out a great shoe aesthetically and performance wise so they can appeal to more people

I think more EXT's would be very nice if the 14's sillouette is fire

Exactly

 

[alsa2009]

OPINIONS..... One piece upper is fly... Maybe not for ball but you can definitely rock them casually.
