Unfortunately we are still waiting for the initial release of the Nike LeBron 12.
In the meantime it looks like we will be able to get our hands on another silhouette associated with that model, the Nike LeBron 12 NSW Lifestyle.
Sporting an interesting black upper with what looks like to be spikes or diamond cuts which happens to be the main detailing that sticks out on these. To me though, I get a Christian Louboutin feel when I first saw pictures of LeBron wearing them and when you add the red bottom, its kind of obvious where the inspiration stemmed from.
Check out the details provided by Foot Locker and let us know down in the comment if they’re a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
In one of the bigger sneaker events of the year, Nike and LeBron James unveiled the Nike LeBron 12 last month and subtly, also unveiled the Nike LeBron 12 NSW Lifestyle, which was the footwear of choice for LeBron during the presentation. The first release of the LeBron 12 NSW Lifestlye will take place this weekend with the drop of the Black/Black-Challenge Red colorway – the same one worn by LeBron in September. The newest edition to the LeBron NSW Lifestyle line is, perhaps, the boldest yet. A leather upper is decorated with pyramid-like studs along the outer and inner side panels while the toe is smooth leather. Challenge red accents take care of the lace loops, tongue branding, and heel tag, as well as the outsole.
The Nike LeBron 12 NSW Lifestyle releases on Saturday, October 18, at Foot Locker, House of Hoops by Foot Locker, and Footlocker.com (starting at 8am EDT) for $130. To find a store near you that will be carrying this release check out our Launch Locator.
