without the spikes... this is an insta cop for me...something so simple can make a shoe go from "here's my money" to "wtf is that?"
 
I would be so tempted to try and pluck the points off those rubbers..not just so they'd look better either.. I Remember doing that to my bike tires as a kid

if the back tabs on rubber city get folded on are you just **** out of luck?

should i pull the trigger on 250 after tax for elites, or hold out for something better? i need them. 

shopmyoslife has them for $215 shipped if you can't wait any longer but if you're patient I bet you'll get them cheaper.
 
I've got a theory as to why LBJ switched out of the elites and into regular 12s last game:

The lacing on the elites near the forefoot curve inward. The flywire also follows that mold, so I think (could be waaaay off here lol) when he laces them tight the pull is felt opposite end of the forefoot from where the curve is, making his jacked up pinky toes feel super cramped/pinched...
 
Elite PE tonight are pretty nice. I would prefer no yellow though even though it matches perfectly with their unis.
 
I think the swoosh placement is what makes the Elites less appealing. I know people didn't like the clear plastic on the reds but there's a lot of flexibility with the colors considering you can make the front plastic and back plastic different colors
 
That black and yellow is such a nice color combo.  Too bad we will never see that Taxi PE he had earlier in year
 
 
It's cool to see everyone eating on Palmers and people helping people out.

My phone order pair from NT LA arrived on Tuesday. shout out to @thatallone34   again for posting that info.  I had officially given up after missing all the surprise releases online.
 
Anybody played ball in both the Kyrie 1s and Lebron 12s? Thinkin bout gettin some K 1s but don't know much about the comfort bball wise.
 
I use insoles from http://www.roadrunnersports.com/

I have flat feet so I use a support insole ($29). In some of my shoes, this insole can cause squeaking as the hard carbon arch piece can rub against a part of the shoe's interior, so I just use baby powder and/or petroleum jelly for a little lubrication to quiet down the squeaking.

If you want a cushioned insole try this:
