The Lebron XII has made some great colorways
I just think the combination of no limited/energy releases and Lebron not wearing most of them has the excitement down for the Lebron XII among sneaker collectors
To me they are on par with the Lebron VII and Lebron 9

Has anyone else noticed this for all this guy's 12 shots?

These are just a few comparison shots, but you can find it almost across the entire 12 line. It's weird, because I wouldn't say they're fake, but why does the mesh extend all the way to the midsole in his shots as opposed to the released versions?
Noticed this a long time ago I feel like I can't be the only one. Didn't mention it before because I figured that maybe it was just early pairs from the earlier cws. But we're pretty deep into the 12s so I guess I'm just curious.

I loved many lebron models, and I simply think the 12s are just awful. The fact that the silhouette looks horrible to me (regardless of colorway), and when the 12 was first introduced nike was claiming hex zoom as "top of the line, new and innovative", i've just stayed away (because it isn't new tech and it's been used since years ago). It just shows one of two things, nike's literally trying to take advantage of it's unknowing customers, or they as a company "forgot" about their own models. That's personally just how I feel about it, and many others that I know (who care about the lebron model) have similar opinions. Lebron not wearing other recent models didn't impact sales too much, and limiting pairs doesn't always equate to people wanting the shoe. I personally don't understand why people go from not liking a model/cw *until* it's figured that it's limited, literally changing their viewpoints as soon as the hype builds (as i've seen on here). I guess it gives them a feeling of accomplishment because they have a -shoe- not much others have?..

View media item 1442952 super clean imo. Could probably id a pair just like it. These are just colors I always try on nike ID. They better make some good posite options because a lot of them thus far have been just wrong. Chromosomes and Xmas pair easily could have had a much cleaner execution

Until you mentioned it I didn't notice. I don't think they're fake either. At least I hope not, because those would be some high quality ripoffs. Maybe he's got a connect to some factory alternates.

He'll neutralize him the same way Sherman neutralized him last season.

That blue looks darker and darker every time I see more pics
I wouldn't say the 12 is my fav model but I definitely like it now. Took me longer to embrace it than previous models. Well.... Took me longer to like the regular 10s which I still don't love (elites tho
).
I'm up to 4 colors now. Might be near my max.
HoaL DF TDM datas
Lastly.... If bron manages to wina ring this year...... We shall see how many new bron 12 lovers will come out of nowhere

Those Easters are tragic. They look like the made-up colorways you find on the replicas. Lavender....that's Easter-ish....with lava?!....with glossy black posite?!?!

Them new pics of the Cowboys colorway look great, I'm a slide in a FTL today to try to see them in hand 
As far as Easter's go I'm digging them, they give off a Easter colorway type of feel without making me feel like they should be a GS only release

Got my HoL in from the NDC sale. These are definitely a classic for this line. Not sure if I'll pick up another colorway though.

Face it fellas we aren't getting anything with a Gold posite until the opportunity presents itself for Nike to create a good gimmick out of it |I
It's probably gonna be on the posite of the Cork/Black/Gold EXT slated to drop though, I can't wait to see how they plan on pulling that off
