Turning Data Into A Design, Nike LeBron 12 ‘NSRL’
Allow me to reintroduce myself, well I think that’s what the shoes would say if they could talk.
After being delayed due to a defect or for another reason none of us are 100% sure of, the Nike LeBron 12 ‘NSRL’ is officially set to drop. This December 1st the once to be believed as the launch colorway will serve as the 4th to see retailers shelves.
The colorway being Hyper Turquoise/Black-Metallic Cool Grey-Hyper Crimson has grown to be a fan favorite so expect theses to fly off shelves. They give me almost that Cannon x South Beach 9 Elite feel, so yeah.
Check out all the wonderful details about the sneaker and the Nike Store detailed pictures about the ‘NSRL’ LBJ 12. Let us know down in the comments if they’re a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
LeBron James showcases an extraordinary blend of strength, court vision, efficiency and explosive speed while competing at basketball’s highest level. His rare skill set requires innovative footwear tailored to the specifications of his multidimensional game. The LEBRON 12 is designed to enhance James’s explosiveness while combining three key benefits: superior cushioning, harnessed support and natural flexibility.
BORN IN THE LAB
Nike’s Sport Research Lab provides the Nike Basketball design team with in-depth analysis on athletic performance and scientific testing. The LEBRON 12 was born in the lab, where scientific data and analysis substantiated the need for next-generation cushioning, support and flexibility. This science-led insight was maximized for James while accounting for the diverse needs of athletes worldwide. The lead colorway, the LEBRON 12 NSRL, was inspired by the new shoe’s genesis in the lab.
ACCELERATED EXPLOSIVENESS
Five visible, hexagonally-shaped Nike Zoom Air bags in the outsole of the LEBRON 12 enhance natural motion while providing accelerated explosiveness with each step. Nike Zoom Air delivers the same great cushioning it brought to footwear when first introduced to basketball in 1995; now the hexagonal Nike Zoom Air is mapped to the pressure points of the foot where it’s most needed for basketball performance. In tandem with the sole, the lightweight and breathable Megafuse upper is designed to act as a molded second skin that minimizes weight and amplifies breathability and comfort.
SUPERIOR SUPPORT
James runs approximately three miles per game, and the average player changes directions about 1,000 times over that distance, requiring supportive, comfortable footwear to withstand tremendous impact and torque. Dynamic Flywire cables provide lockdown support for James’s unrivaled combination of speed and strength. The upper is constructed for a precise fit, with Hyperposite wings that deliver targeted support and protection
