First Look at Nike LeBron 11 Hardwood Classic / Knicks

LeBron James’ Hardwood Classic themed shoes have always been super popular even after he split ways with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Obviously the New York Knicks connection was always a hot topic especially when it was one of the possible destinations for King James back in 2010 during his first free agency summer. Since then, the volume of Blue and Orange LeBron kicks has decreased. We did get Blue Flame China 9’s and Superhero Elite 10’s, but that’s about it. Now the rumors will probably arise once again as we get the first look at this Knicks-friendly colorway of the Nike LeBron XI. It looks like one of the upcoming styles joining the Forging Iron as yet another predominantly orange version of the shoe. Is this something you’d like to pick up assuming a release is inevitable or would you prefer to take your talents to Nike iD build your own implementation of the HWC / Knicks theme?

    • I think the first batch of coloways are much better than the latter ones. Gammas, KOTJ's, Aways, Forging Irons, Terracottas beat most of the new styles like Dunkman, Grafitti, or even these.
      Akron vs. Miami and Miami Nights are somewhere in the middle. They still remind me about Cannon and Miami Night 9's ;)

  • U can design this n iD for most part. Not best CW I've seen for 11s at all. Kinda like da Auburn X Lows / Cav HWC.
