Synthetic or not, I'd still take that look(Red Carpet)over the cheap 9's, 10's, and 11's...but hey, you also enjoy those Hornet 11's.
You mistaking me for somebody else?
I own 13 pairs of 11s. Hornets ain't one of them...

I like this model, but I kind of miss the days when the focus for player models was on team colorways, and these other special editions were one-off releases. I don't have a problem with releasing new CWs in general, I just don't like how the only way to get a basic black, or white, grey, red, or blue shoe is to use iD now. Even with the Lebrons AZG - VIII, the first colorway was team based. I'm not a fan of these miami dolphins turqoise-orange, purple/orange, orange/neon, silver/teal/neon, and black/pink CWs. The white/red and dunkmans are alright though. I'll probably just iD an all black unless one GRs. Or just skip altogether if iD is too expensive
Including these, my favorites in order are:
II, VIII, IV, AZG, III, VII, XII, IX, X, VI, XI, V

Couldn't agree more. I've been saying it off and on in these threads for a while. Many have been asking "no Cavs color ways yet?" Have you been paying attention? Since the 9, in LeBron's line at least 95% of the colors have NOTHING to do with the team, or team variations. He ends up with mostly PE's that send us scrambling to iD, while bombarding us with releases simultaneously. It's a win for Nike across the board.
Don't get me wrong, I like the color options we have to choose from as well, but a simple team based color way can be great... You'd be HARDPRESSED to find someone who didn't like the HWC 7 when he was in Cle with those blue/orange uni's.
In reality most teams only have a home and away jersey with some alternates so team based colors are limited, but doesn't mean they can't be the focus of the line.
I like the 12, but do I need a shoe (NSRL) symbolizing green liquid in beakers and orange caution signs???

couldn't have said it better, i've always thought the first 3 releases for lebron and kobe should be the teams and then do the craziness, and have kd's released at the start of the season since his starts during the summer and sprinkle in their college cws though 2 out of 3 didn't go

Totally agree, but at this point it's just not gonna happen.
I guess the reality is you have people who love LeBron and hate LeBron but equally love his shoes, so Nike isn't going to please anyone but themselves...
Don't like his team? NO PROBLEM! Here's a color way based on his first driveway chalk picture! Or maybe a "Hot Punch" color way with silver hits based on the fruit drink Bron got at middle school lunch...ya'll know...the clear plastic barrel with foil top
And if you don't like those? Well go over to iD and go bananas. Either way you slice it...Nike is moving units making that $$$

Damn this made me feel old. I was out of High School when these dropped. After the first release of the 3s I quit on LeBrons. Had doubles of every CW of the AZG and 2.

I had these back in first grade!
I miss them too. By far one of the most comfortable Lebron's ever.

I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU! I was trying to avoid the discussion but the VI is my favorite....I hope that when they retro, we get some help from NT since they get so much hate lol Hunting down some size 11's at a decent price is tough!
So the week of Christmas...we are looking at the Data, Columbia AND Pantone XI, and a Christmas colorway?? Not to mention, Kobe and KD's......This is going to be a CRAZY Holiday season

I've never been a huge fan of the VIs but I would take the MVP and Chalk colorways in a heartbeat if they popped up in my size for the right number.

I liked VI's a lot too...many said they didn't have that "signature shoe" design and feel worthy of LeBron, but to me I liked the simplicity of the design, they were comfortable, and had some good colorways. Wasn't a bad shoe on court either. I had quite a few pairs of VI's. Underrated in my opinion, but that's just fine too.
