these gonna look fire on me

Dat confidence ... get em red

Pass on Corks for me.
Don't do the Metallic Swoosh.
Wish it was Reg XII ID Gold Swoosh.

I know there were issues with the silver metallic swooshes, but I have the wheats and a red rubber city id both with the gold ext swoosh and have no problems with chipping or it wearing off. I think the gold is done differently than the silver. Just if that was something that worried you.

Won the raffle for the corks at my local hoh, pretty happy to grab em as I even like them over the cork x, just not a fan of a lot of white. These seem a lot more wearable to me.

First day pass for me 

Even tho they look good on foot, I agree. Debating on WTLs

 

[The7onius]

If I get the corks I'm returning my wheats, I really prefer the corks over them.

I'd never wear the wheats.

That's good to know. May check them out. Still don't know why they couldn't use the other. It's a lot more durable and isn't solid metallic.

I'm def All In on the WTL. Love the giant 23,Gold posite, and the Yellow material on the Heel.

Glad I secured my pairs.

 they're the most universal shoe that could be worn with anything no matter style or personality

Called my local FTL and dude act like he didn't know, are the 4ths on diso yet?

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

My pigalle elites came today and they are messed up.  the posite is separating from the backer, on my other pair of elites the backer and posite is totally connected and thats how it is in the picutres.  the other problem is the silver posite has spots where it has been worn down and the black is popping through like they were rubbed against the ground or something abrasive.

anyone else have similar issues?  im thinkin about not ordering a replacement pair,  for 300$ this is a joke. 

I got my Pigalle's in today. The silver posite has some worn spots in places. Looks like all of them are the same. I'm not going to sweat it because I love the shoe. They are the only XII to make me cop on sight.

Just in case I do decide to get them, you think the WTL would be a pain to get?

Always depends on size.

ISS has them for about $15 over retail so I copped 2 size 14. Size 14 is always a pain so worth the $30 not to have to worry come release day. Last year Nike Oversold. Also, Customs fees takes most Euro sites off the list of places to get them.

RuVilla HOL came in.

Plastic Eyelets

Did anyone keep their pair with these? How are they holding up?

 

[bigj505]

^^^ if you are wearing them casually, I can't see you having any issues.

well my FTL that doesnt get any good releases are getting CORKS & WTL, so i think you should be able to grab a pair. just like how everyone who wanted the WTL XI got to eat last year.

 

[nrmancruso]

^^^ if you are wearing them casually, I can't see you having any issues.

Always just casually. Usually don't lace them tight.  Just want to make sure the posite won't tear over time.

my pair also has the plastic eyelets and still holding up! i actually ball outdoor with them

 

[dwoodactennis]

You can glue them back together, the only problem really that happens over time is the plastic pieces can become brittle and break right off the lace.

I'm a size 10 and I've been eating all year with the 12s. I love the corks and since I'm such a big fan of the 12 I've come around on the WTL and want to grab them. Considering every pair had been had for less than retail are these really going to be an issue to cop? Anyone have an idea?

i dont see any reason why WTL will sell out instantly, i think we will have a repeat of what happened to the WTL's last year. they will be obtainable but will not sit for discount imo.

this pic is correct! it suppose to be seperated just incase someone is brave enough to do a lace swap!, i own rose gold and the ignites and all of the XII elites are like that!...this part is not a defect.

i'm guessing they left it like that to allow the lace to go through.

This right here is the first pic I've seen where Cork 12s look good......


Still passing tho. Don't need them. My Cork Xs will suffice. [emoji]128527[/emoji]

 

[Smithbeentrill]

I feel like I'm the only one who struck out with the WTL last year. Anyone know if this year's will come in a 12.5? That's my natural lebron size and im hoping i can cop this year.

 

[JRizzo5o2]

Couple shots from today. These things are too cold in person!
