Caught Hoh manager as she was leaving. Say they are getting the Palmers on Monday or Tuesday. I got happy but remember the launch locator and I think she has the Palmers confused with the wheat.

Maaaaaan I remember when a Shoe City opened last year near me. I asked if they were getting the Ferrari 14s for the grand opening and dude said yea..... They opened with the black toes. Dude thought the Ferraris were the black toes....

Left work an hour early to rush to HOH, but they sold the last pair as I'm running in The employees tried to tell me the Champs got em too, but I was out the door before they could finish talking. Ran up to Champs and what do you know, Champs coming through in the clutch. I think these will be available to all hoping to grab em, cause that Champs never gets exclusives. Patience is key

That medial swoosh is not needed on the elites it looks like an afterthought like it was just slapped on there

Looks like Nike is taking the Energy theme from the KD's and putting it on the Lebron's

They changed that fast

This same Tee was just named "Pre-Heat" ...I assume Nike thought that'd hurt the sales of it. How times have changed

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Lebron pe for tonight

that lace lock is nice best part of the elites

 

[alsa2009]

all i see is a huge swoosh, plastic heel tab, and plastic heel cage. Going from posite to that seems like an immense downgrade, which pushes it's price up $75? I have the same question as you, because I see nothing "elite" about them.

Via Nike's Marketing and Sales Team...
Ok let's add this up....
Huge swoosh (bigger is better) $35
Plastic heel tab & heel cage (bio degradable, recyclable/eco friendly $40
Nike's sarcasm... We're not even charging for the extra zoom pod the Lion Lock nor the diamond stitch interior padding. We even threw in the the 2-3 on the heels to make up for the 6 on the bottoms; and this wasn't in the contract....lol...

You're in the tristate area? Lol...I'm sure we'll get them at some point but i don't feel like running around to get em

It's crazy that my first pair of 12's might come in June when the Cleveland/Carbon fiber drops....my homeboy isn't even into the sneaker culture and he copped a pair of the what if's. I want the HOL's too, but am waiting for a low low discount. just haven't been impressed with the colorways...but I love the silhouette.
