Official Look at Upcoming “CLE” / Carbon Fiber Nike LeBron 12

Somehow Nike has managed to plan ahead the release of the “Cleveland” Nike LeBron 12 right when it matters most. This Cavaliers’ inspired colorway is slated to drop on Saturday, June 13th, which according to the 2015 NBA Finals schedule is right between Games 4 and 5. Honestly I don’t believe in any other NBA Finals / potential Championship Pack launch and even if it happens the history shows us that we should not get our hopes up on securing a pair anyway. Personally, the “CLE” LeBron XII and the following “Independence Day” (June 27th) drops is where I’m going to put my money in to conclude the LeBron 12 series. Check out the official look below.

  • I like how Nike approached this one. They were able to put a nice spin on the Wine & Gold theme by making them pop a little bit more. I just hope they're not TOO bright in person. Definitely a must have for me.

  • A champ pack launch will happen, and even if they don't win it'll be like the 11 champ pack.

  • The best GR 12 colorway - period. I personally hope they are mega bright in person----though that's my thing and not for everyone. The key to these in my eyes is the lack of monotone. The colors work together but there's different colors- contrasting laces, posite, base. And the carbon fiber print is awesome. The ONLY thing I'd have liked done differently is the bootie color. contrasting the bootie with the overlays adds depth and interest to the shoe...but that said, again, this is the most well executed GR 12 so far and the only one i like enough to actually pay at or near retail for (though if recent 12's are any indication, 15% off codes will work on them and drive the price more to the $180ish territory w/tax)- though its no guarantee they'll release in a 15
