Much like the Nike Kobe X Elite ‘Team’ and KD 7 Elite ‘Team’, we have here some very great shots of the soon to be released Nike LeBron 12 Elite ‘Team’. This new silhouette and colorway as mentioned when first unveiled is apart of the Nike Basketball Elite Collection and its first wave of releases pay homage to each of Nikes marquee signature sneaker athletes and their respective teams.
As you can see for the LBJ’s the sneaker features predominately that Cavs red or burgundy with black and yellow accents to finish things off.With most Elites the construction of the sneaker is to fit a more performance aspect going into the NBA plays, hence the added material and altered detailing.
Check out the pictures show below and let us know if you plan on visiting retailers like Finishline to grab a pair this weekend.
Before this season, no one could have imagined a burden larger for LeBron to carry than the potential three-peat for Miami. Then, he went back home, and everything changed. Fast-forward to now, and the Cleveland Cavaliers are gearing up for the NBA postseason a whole new animal.
LeBron has said himself that it will be tough to bring Cleveland a championship so early on, but he and his teammates are in prime position to do so. Plus, there’s no more fitting sneaker for LeBron to wear to try lifting up the Cavs than the intricately built Nike LeBron 12 Elite.
With a streamlined structure, this iteration of LeBron’s twelfth signature is raring to go for the playoffs. Gone is the durable Hyperposite material from the original, replaced with lockdown-providing vertical wings, while the ultra-supportive Megafuse upper and Flywire bands remain. Six independent Zoom units on the outsole allow LeBron to move from one direction to the next in no time.
And what’s a shoe for a King without a stellar color scheme? This one is decked out in a deep University Red, accentuated by the wings and lion lace-lock. A sure thing to be gleaming on the hardwood.
King James has his weapon of choice. Considering LeBron’s place among the NBA’s greats, the LeBron 12 Elite should be a no-brainer.
The Nike LeBron 12 Elite can be yours at 8am EST on Friday, April 17th at FinishLine.com.
