Nike LeBron 12 'Independence Day' Release Date Schedule, Pics and Retail Price
LeBron James and Nike are not pulling any punches when it comes to celebrating the holidays, releasing the LeBron 12 "Independence Day" Saturday.
In a flush of patriotic zeal, the fresh take on the modern classic features the red, white and blue with an innovative bit of stars and stripes throughout.
Here's a look at the release details, via Sneaker Bar Detroit:
| Saturday, June 27 | 10 a.m. ET | $200 |
The patriotic take defines the term "must-have shoe."
Villa provides a look at the sneakers out in the wild:
Where to start? The familiar rippled texture lines the shoe, the laces are solid, the front weave in front of them is there and an icy translucent sole finishes things off in perfect complementary fashion.
Perhaps best of all, though, is the stars and stripes canvas print on the side of the shoe and behind the swoosh.
Sneaker Bar Detroit gets up close and personal with the design:
Keeping with the design, Nike goes all-in on the back with the familiar back pull tab, bathing it in bright colors, stars and lettering.
Villa provides the zoom:
Folks know the deal with the LeBron 12. Like the King himself, it's a monster on the court. The translucent ice on the bottom looks good, but performs better, offering plenty of shock absorption and cushion for takeoff. The tops offer just enough flexibility to function well.
From an aesthetics standpoint, what else needs said? The LeBron 12 is one of the hottest shoes around for good reason as a design that pushes the envelope for modern shoes, but not too far.
This one represents not just James, but an entire country, as he does when he takes the court for Team USA. It's a sleek, all-encompassing design sneakerheads won't want to miss.
The LeBron 12 "Independence Day" drops Saturday, just in time for the holidays.
