It still hurts to see the MVP Pack on someone else’s photos, but the situation hasn’t changed. There’s no information about another launch outside of what happened in Miami over four weeks ago (60+ pairs). About half of them is probably still in re-sellers’ hands reappearing on eBay in the pursuit of the most desperate of fans. Our chances are very slim especially after seeing the inside tag. Like my friend said… that Y3 doesn’t look good for us normal people. Some say that LeBron James’ championship shoes have been released in Asia, like it was initially announced by Nike, but I haven’t seen any pairs from that location to support that conclusion. There’s still hope, though. See the new photos after the break.

I heard that Nike released 35 pairs in China and had a similar "raffle" system for each pair like some of the stores in Miami had. A handful of different pairs have popped up on ebay with a Taiwan or China shipping location and one or two of them actually mentioned that they were one of the 35 pairs released in China in this manner.
what does the Y3 stand for?
I believe it means $3000.
Basically it means we're f****d. That's how Nike mark items that are not meant to release on a wider scale. It's just a promotional item. Like for example... LeBron IV NYC :)
Oh okay but I always see Y3 on all of the tags inside my Jordans as well
Meh, the resellers can keep their pairs. I'm only diggin' the red pair, so I wouldn't even buy for MSRP. There's so much hype nowadays with Bron's shoes which basically "killed" it for me. From having every single colorway to 1-2 a year LOL!
I'm also forced to limit the number of pairs a year. The X will hurt our pockets for sure.
