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

So how does Id work? How long does it take to get the shoe?

Takes a month give or take usually... it should give you an estimate right on the design page

that nightwing review has me second guessing copping these at 200. His gripes was that the lacing system hurt his hand/hard to lace tight, the traction wears out too fast, and that he couldn't really feel the zoom in the hex pads. that's not sounding good but I'll wait for more takes

Do they add more colors later?

Most likely will add some more colors/graphics but you sort of never know what you're going to get.  Plus, it probably won't be for a couple months until they add more options.  I have no way of knowing though, all guesses from how past iDs have went.  There is an iD thread here, if you want to join the discussion:  http://niketalk.com/t/610355/official-lebron-12-nike-id-thread/30#post_21863493

Just got a tweet from Nike and Heidi that they are close to releasing a full launch calendar with updated release dates. I'm thinking NSRLs on Black Friday, and HofaL and Dunk Forces B4 Thanksgiving

I'm shocked they have Heart of Lions ready for release on Thursday, and we get ID already....craziness.  

Eyelet looks the exact same in picture, wonder if it really was just a "bad glue" issue.  "6" still there as expected.  

Only thing is...when are NSRL's dropping then?  

 

[ammforever23]

Can't wait to start messing around in ID. So those that work in the sneaker stores what were the numbers looking like? I probably won't be able to cop at the opening of the stores or 8am simply because of my job but I'm curious if I go in the afternoon if they would still have my size 8.5 or 9.

For the love of god, PLEASE no BF release on the NSRL.

Damnit... I was actually just starting to lose some interest in the 12

  I've wanted the HoaL all along though (yes, no 180 here), nice that they'll be here this Thursday

I agree with this. My Black Friday money is earmarked for the Black/Infrared 6's.

HoaL up on Champs locator for anyone interested

[ventureblake]

well, some people owe that dude that said this was happening and then got jumped on about him lying an apology. pumped to try grab these on thurs.

No we don't....it had nothing to do with whether or not they were releasing....it was him saying that they were a FNL QS.

Anyways, didn't somebody mention a while back that the eyelets on the HoL seemed to be different than the ones on the NSRL?? I feel like I came across reading something like that. Either way, this is all GREAT news!!

Too bad HOL CW isn't really my jam. Good to see a release though.

If I miss out on these I guess I will hold off and just grab the dunkforce and the datas. Hopefully by the end of the day we have the full release calendar.

Well finally a color is being released. As for "value"??? Wtf? IMO just because a CW is the launch colorway should have zero bearing on that. The KP was sought after because it was a dope CW. As many heads that like the NSRL, I would say they don't find it more appealing than the KP. I could be wrong though.

And as dwoodactennis expected the "6" is still present. Not once did Nike make an official statement regarding that. Eyelet issue only. They would most likely say 6+6=12, problem solved, lame or otherwise. Plus the shank plate is molded plastic, in which factory molds have BEEN made for quite some time. Nike not about to go back and spend more money on making new molds. At least not at this point. Down the road maybe...

Food for thought...LJ's USA jersey was 6. Not like it can't stay on his shoe...

I really hope HOL hit a spot locally so I can swoop them and then go watch the game.

I think they will be easy to find. You should have no problem getting a pair.

 

[cooperfiddy]

I like the HoL a LOT more than NSRL, so I'm liking the fact that HoL is the first cw to officially release

 

[ammforever23]

A pair I just made that I might actually grab.

so much for QS lmao

[ammforever23]

Great review, Only problem is the ventilation that I really saw being a issue for long periods of ball. For sure grabbing a pair just for ball after this.

Heart of a Lion are QS GR's
