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

[superstarlord]

Did I miss a change of release date for the Dunk Force? Thought they were still 11/11, thread title says 11/12? NDC and FTL still show 11/11.

 

[washderice]

man, i had worn my HOAL 12s out a couple times after getting them on release day, yesterday i wore WTL 11s and the comfort difference for me is astronomical. it was such a step back in comfort going back to the 11, i was watching interstellar and halfway through the movie i had to loosen my laces (may have tied them too tight) to relieve pressure to my forefoot. lookin forward to rockin the 12s to the cavs/nuggets game tonight and ill finally get a chance to ball in them next week. really lookin forward to that.

Won't be disappointed. Imo these are like an evolution of the Xs - previously my favorite LeBron to date for playing basketball in.

6 on the left and 6 on the right makes up 12 for the LeBron XII. Nike can run with that

I'm actually surprised they haven't done that yet. Makes too much sense.

Need to see better pics before i judge.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

i thought those were fugazi ? maybe i'm wrong 

 

[washderice]

yah those are fakes/reps. can always tell by the box they use, its always an older box.

Ahhh.

 

[Lunar_Loner]

That and what's "elite" bout those they just look like a blk/red CW of standard 12's.

 

[barbarianbob]

So the HoaLs aren't "cheeks" anymore Bob?
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Naw bruh, only colorway that I ever really felt were glutes are Meridians

I thought HoaL's were cool but a tad mediocre but again I have yet to see them in person

I actually think most of the colorways are cool but none excite me as much as Datas followed by Instincts

 

[sk33termcg33]

Yeah old box was the giveaway.

It'd be cool if they made a first game CW for lebron a la the AZG he wore in Sacramento. Colorblocking could be kinda similar...

You are right, they are, box is a dead give away.  Replicas always use that same box.

Exactly what I'm hoping for lol... I have a couple iD pairs made with AZG inspirations but not pulling the trigger quite yet

 

[sk33termcg33]

Why they wouldn't try to capitalize on that for this first season he's back beats me.

They could even release it as a pack - AZGs and 12s together for like 400 retail with classic CWs... I'd cop lol

They'll probably go the route of tweeting Nike iD pairs with past inspirations like last years XI haha

Good point haha, completely forgot about that.

I think it's all because nike didn't expect Bron to go back to Cleveland. Colors and stuff were already set and in the line for production if I assume correctly.

I mean heck, there are no real Cleveland colors on the horizon and the HoL are more Miami heat than anything else

Nike sees brons going home letter: "bruh.... Bron could have at least told us not to put the 6 on the shoes...."

 

[lypac]

Yeah peeps been calling for a Heat Home Colorway and they got it.

swoosh outline was something they should have brought back. it was on the 9 i believe, the 10 and they just dropped it after the 11 for some odd reason

It'd be really nice... adds just the right amount of detail imo.  This is actually a small detail that I really like about the HoaL, that hyper crimson outline on the swoosh

 

[norwaydre]

 
Happy with my pair for $120 but these really feel like a take down model from last year IMO.

Whats your reasoning for this?
