They'll have to, because they've gotten themselves banned from this thread with the constant squabbling.

no... kings pride was unique colorway.. lion hearts are just a red/white/black colorway we have seen a 100 times.

and we have seen it a 100 times because it's one of the quintessential colorways and it sells. Example...every Jordan retro has a red/white/black colorway. And again, after the 3 or 4 colorways we've seen so far....I'm pretty confident I'll be standing by my statement at this time next year. I think graphics are on this model are gonna look totally wack.

the parachute gold was the posite, but it didnt incorporate the artic green and red which IMO made the shoe..

we'll see, but i doubt it.. if it is, the 12's are in trouble..
thats would be like saying the home lebron X are the staple colorway because they are white, red and black..
thats just boring... imo

I think there is going to be a cavs colorway with gold, garnet and navy that will probably be some preheat quickstrick "im going back home edition." similar to SB 8's and that will be the colorway of the 12s

Yeah I think it might be in trouble, just like the 11 wasn't that great.
and there wasn't anything all that exciting about the kings pride....the liner was probably the most unique/stand-out thing about that entire colorway. But it was the best colorway of the XI in my opinion because it was just simple and well done. It didn't need any print on the posite or on the tongue, and thats what made it great.
I agree, and what you are describing there sounds like something simple and clean....I think those types of colorways will end up being the best of this model. And so far, The King's Pride is the only one like that I have seen.

KP wasnt that unique of a cw. it has been done many many times...first time on an LBJ shoe though.

Kings Pride is easily in my top 3 LeBrons ever. I can name a bunch of Brons that get way more hype that I just don't get. I already like the 12 model better than most of the Bron line. An besides the Gold FP 1 can someone post pics of all these other Nikes in that color? I bet no one can name even 10 Nikes that have that gold/green type CW. I can literally name thousands of Nikes that have a bred CW. KP CW is VERY unique period.

nobody is taking shots at your beloved KP sneaker. bottom line is, its been done before. i can see if we were speaking of the VI cigar cw or something of that nature, or the first MC flyknit, whatever it was.
that shade of metallic gold has been used many times. bravo on the execution of it with the funny green bottom and hints of red along with floral sock liner. but metallic gold/parachute gold or whaever you wanna call it isnt new.

It's not new but it's far from common place. Unless your definition of unique is 1 of a kind. I think that CW is extremely rare. I honestly can't think of 10 shoes that have that candy gold/green and considering Nike has hundreds of thousands of sneaker models throughout its history. Makes it unique to me.

color is amazing, the thin air max from the 1st post is still best. But I like the original 12s too cant ******* wait to be king!

Man how is it we have seen over 4 different colors for this model with on feet pics and yet nothing about the tech in it or how they feel? That's crazy.
