First Look at "What the LeBron" Nike LeBron 12

The Internet gods have finally let us see the infamous “What the LeBron” edition of the Nike LeBron XII. The rumor about the shoe has been going on for a while. The teaser pics have surfaced last week, but the quality was so bad that I didn’t even bother posting them here. Many users do leaks though Instagram and such these days, but some of the photos are so bad it’s not even worth mentioning.

The new batch of pics is not that great either, but at least we can see the concept behing the “WTL” LeBron 12’s. Again it’s a mashup of previous Nike LeBron colorways with the most interesting part being the Swingman and Dunkman logo present on the tongue patch. Check out the pics below and let us know what other parts of past LeBrons you were able to spot here. Pics via @shoulee81 and @therealchickenwop.

  • Never understood why people refer to buying shoes as 'copped'.... will never ever make sense to me....

    • It means to get. Meaning you can considered them already gotten they like em so much. In other words I gotta cop them shoes.

  • Hmmm....well little if anything can exceed the brilliance of the 11 design much less the 11 What The model though you kind of have to understand the 11 lent itself to that whereas the 12 doesn't nearly as much. But- I'm a sucker for the different colored shoes (credit to Adidas and T-Mac for doing it first) so I'd be likely to try and make these my second 12's (after the CLE) if for no other reason than that and because I'm a fan of the craziest most idiotic possible combos you can think of LOL. I don't however think these are worth the upcharge they'll garner at likely $220 or higher. I THINK these might sit so hopefully they'll do what the AS and Trillion's did and drop to $140ish shipped then I'd bite for sure. In the meantime I'm flirting with adding an NSRL if I can find a damn pair in 15
