The Official Nike LeBron XII Thread- "July 4th/USA" & "King's Cloak/Red Paisley" 06/27/15

^^^ that could be it. So many sites now

 

[bigj505]

Canadians have to pay customs

I know that. Still is below retail for many of these shoes due to the higher Canadian retail especially if the site is located in Canada which some are.

Think of it like this... Who doesn't carry lebrons?

That's my point. They're everywhere but people seem to think they're sitting because they get discounted and you can find several color ways on any given site or store on any given day. Jordan's would "sit" the same way if they keep sending them out.

I get your point and we have definitely seen that when a jordan gets a rerelease in huge numbers, it definitely takes longer to sell.

I generally think jordans are more popular and have more hype. They are the "it" shoes.

The constant releases and the high retail definitely affects sales too. It's not like these brons are dropping a total of 3-5 colors a year. We are getting like 1 to many per month. That stuff hurts.

These remind of the taxi's. I know the colors are different  but these are a must have for me. I have a feeling these are not sitting. I had a hard time getting the taxi's  after rd so sat these will be had.

My dude, apart from LBJ die-hard fans, and LBJ sneaker collectors the general public will not rush out to buy a Yellow sneaker. Online sellouts mean nothing as websites can control stock numbers.

I like the Cleveland pair alot but the reality is that it's not a daily shoe - so I can't justify paying full MSRP for it.

Not really that true. We've gotten a bunch of releases on sale within days of release.

BigJ you need to come up to Toronto and join myself and Versemode for a beer. We'll take you to our local FTLs and Champs that still insist on charging full MSRP for LBJ XIs.

I get that we're a smaller market vs. the US but the stuff that's going on up here is criminal. To make things worse, Canada and the US have some trade spat going on and they're looking to add (additional tariffs) to US imports.

Between the weak Canadian dollar, high US to Canada shipping costs (for no reason), Canadian customs and couriers (UPS, Fedex, etc..) charging whack brokerage fees, it's incredibly hard keeping up with the sneaker hobby here.

What if I told u I don't drink?

And I understand the retail chains are brutal. I'm saying Canadians can get it in from other venues.

Passing on corks. Just don't care for the black trim. Wish it was brown.

 

[dwoodactennis]

Lambo already got my corks!

I was hoping for white again, liked that contrast on the X's, and would be nice for them to be similar, to me.

agreed, a dark brown would of been perfect

This.

Corks don't look good, and it's upsetting. CLEs by far are best colorway. Think Imma attempt a lace swap [emoji]128513[/emoji][emoji]128513[/emoji][emoji]128513[/emoji]

Yep I remember those Canadian retail days

I was in Toronto for awhile

You aren't escaping prices close to Canadian retail when you factor in shipping, brokerage fees, tariffs and conversion charges

Unless you are willing to drive to the States

 

[bigj505]

Yea guys... Picked up the cork SBs and I'm sending them back. The black/cork just doesn't jive to me. Blame me for trying to be more selective tho. Just gotta get what I love vs what's passable.

I looked at the cork Air Max in person and couldn't do those either....some things just can never be as good as the originals.  

 

[kanyeezy411]

Even still... The euro sites have put them below retail fairly quickly and the oslife site in based in Canada. You just have to have your eyes open.

Which Europe sites have them below retail?

True. Would look much better that way.

Are these CLE legit?

 

Those are just stock pics but I'm 95% they are legit. Legit seller, legit other items for sale. Good feedback. 

THIS. Just be cautious who you buy from on EBay. If they have been a member for a long time, has a lot of positive feedback and and history of what he sells, should be a good indication that the seller sells authentic kicks. Here is my EBay pick up just arrived this morning. 100% legit Lebron 12 CLE View media item 1578914View media item 1578915View media item 1578916View media item 1578917View media item 1578918from seller:

I thought the same thing when the taxi's came out then I had a hard time finding them below retail. But I am not paying retail for the celevlands any way my boy is hooking me up.
