Ten days ago, the Nike LeBron XII was introduced to the world. It was relatively early for a leak especially when you consider that Nike was able to keep a couple of their recent premieres like the Jordan XX8, XX9 and Kobe 9 under wraps until the very end. The first set of photos showed the front of the shoes and a new sole tech called Hypercross, which seems to be loaded with small Zoom Air units. Today we get a closer look at the side of the LeBron 12. Compared to the other photo that surfaced a couple of days ago it shows the whole design without a visible midsole. Apparently the new photo shows the final product. With 5 months left till the launch of Lebron James’ twelfth signature shoe let us know your thoughts below.

Y so ugly
I am copping it anyways cause of Flyknit style. This gotta be the most comfortable basketball shoes, cause I have Nike Free Flyknit and it's an awesome shoes. I am definitely sure Lebron will wear this!
Why does Nike gotta have the swoosh so fkin big on his shoes for?? You would think by now that Nike would have the focus on it being more of a LEBRON shoe than a NIKE shoe, with LeBron's logo being the focal point. I wish there was just a small little Nike swoosh in the corner of the shoe or something, and the rest of the shoe be designs based around LeBron. Nike is always like "LOOK THIS IS A NIKE SHOE....it's a lebron shoe too". Anyway, apart from that, i don't know about the design. Maybe another colorway will warm me up to it, like the 11's had to do. I just think Nike should take some notes from MJ's retro shoe designs, and put their own twist on it.
I agree about the Swoosh being too big these days. Everything is used to draw more attention. Nowadays it's everything with swooshes and loud colors. I would prefer LeBron's L-crown-J taking the center stage... that's for sure!
I wish they would start going in the casual wear look more. Casual wear style just looks more appealing. Everybody don't wanna wear it for basketball playing purposes only. Some people just wanna wear it for fashion statements, especially girls. They need to gear toward the "casual wear" audience more cuz that's where the MONEY is! Especially that female audience. His shoes is gonna do great in sales regardless cuz it's LeBron, but they need to go more casual style. That's one of the main reasons why Jordan retros sell so good and his new shoe's don't, cuz not only was his retros a basketball shoe, but it was stylish also, simple but stylish for casual wear. And i agree about the loud colors. Simple is better. Ugh anyway man.....
The colorway is good. I really like the outsole. I do agree they could shrink that swoosh about 30%. I also do not like the black strap design and placement...blah, blah...keep them at $200 retail and. I will cop. #Doubtful though.
I really like.
Just hope there will not be a rape retail price.
UGLY
