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

[laces1983]

no stores in my mall had the Merids...couldn't believe they still had all the top releases from this week still sitting and i was able to check them out in person...don't know what sizes they had left but i still saw the AJ6 on the wall display...only kix i didnt see were the Merids and Dunkforces!...oh and the Instincts are nice in person and the NSRLs are more than just meh...but i feel where bigj is coming from!

Edit: take that back i did see a loud crying child with the Dunkforces on

NOBODY COPPED 6 MERIDIANS???

Heck no.

Got a chance to see the Meridians in store today, not awful, but not good in any way either.

Instincts were much better looking in person than I originally thought but still a no go, even with a big discount.

I've never been a fan of the "cloak" colorways, even the Kobes.  Just not my "swag."

180 air max is a major downgrade from the awesome heel zoom that's in these 12s

 

[gatorbeltsnpattiemelts]

Six Meridians are nice AF in person---truth be told all of them are (sorry Big J) Didn't help matters that ALL the 12s are sitting everywhere. I was so tempted to slap the emergency fund card on the counter on some "yo lemme get ALL your Lebron 12s in a 6.5y; AND HUR'UP!"

 

[The7onius]

Got my instincts, love at first sight.

Surprised nobody got them. At least for ball I would have thought people would have grabbed em. Eventually I will get em somewhere along the line. Actually played ball indoors with my dunk force today. Feels great and easy to cut with just overall great performance. Only problem is what everyone said the dust once it picks up a lot you might not stop on a dime like you want to. Also serious need of ventilation my foot was pretty hot. 

 

[bfortson23]

Picked up the dunkmans for 120.... If only I could find the instincts for that

I'm not trying to get anyone not to like them. I'm glad you love them patty.
I keep picking them up when I get to the store but my wallet never comes out of my pocket.

That sole can't be for the elite its too early and a downgrade. It looks like they finally updated the low sole

Agree, got my pair today and they are sick.

if these are outsoles of the low top... cool but nah

I was hoping for the XI's midsole

not complaining though

glad to hear...getting ready to switch out from the WTL to the HOL for tonight...finally getting ready to step into the 12's for the first time!

That makes a lot of sense actually but they still should so the clear soles. Or what they have for ID because the zoom pods on that sole look useless and that was part of the big sell on these.

They have Dunk Force on their site too but they didn't mention if they are included in the sale. Shipping is around $10. Sales tax for us CA folks.

Pretty sure this the first time I seen The7onius with on feet pics of anything #NTdemin #NTcuff

 

[tigo0240]

Not only TTS in general...but the 12s have the best casual fit since the 9s IMO

THIS.

Last couple models have ran small imo. and ive had to size up to the 13 but with the 12 i dont have to. 

 

[tigo0240]

Granted I had to go up a full size on the 9s but then the fit was perfect.

8 - half size short
9 - full size small
X - half size short
XI - half size small


These are just great right out of the box.

So the 12's are more comfortable then the 11's? The 11's really hurt my feet after a while.

The cuff is well proportioned too, I used the NT ruler and creased to the maximum specifications.

They're very comfortable tts.

 

[zombiejohnny]

Sweet!!!! Can't wait to pick up a pair. The 11's felt very tight when they were on my feet too long and it felt like I had pins and needles because of the circulation.

size 6 in the 11s kill me....
size 6 in the 12s thrill me...

I disagree tho; I liked the way 11s looked in jeans BETTER than I do the 12s. Well at least in the pair I had on today.
