Nike LeBron 12 'What the LeBron' Release Date, Pics and Retail Price

The popular "What The" series continues Saturday, this time giving the LeBron 12 a crazy makeover.

LeBron James' edition of the "What The" gets crazy with the colors and incorporates designs and colorways from previous shoes to eye-catching effect. Whether it's wild color schemes or varying textures, this one lives up to its name in a big way.

Here's a look at the release details, per Sneaker Bar Detroit:

Release Date	Price
Saturday, September 5	$250

KicksOnFire.com provided just one angle of the colorful offering, which shows just how wild things get:

Where to start?

There are too many colors to list, but the shoes are the usual asymmetrical offering from the King. There's safari speckles, smooth and textured sections and more all over the zany design.

As SneakerNews.com pointed out, Michael Jordan's 23 gets a large feature on the design, as do other historic names:

This shouldn't come as a shock, but the top-down look is stunning, too. There, one can see the slick signatures on the tongue, the Jumpmans and swooshes and the designs of the inside.

Nikeblog.com served up the angle:

SneakerMob.com flaunted the back side of the shoe, which is just as impressive thanks to its smooth logos and versatile pull tabs:

Of course, such a dramatic shoe won't be for everyone. It's kind of the point, though—folks who see it are supposed to get somewhat caught off guard, if not mutter the design's name verbatim.

As a whole, though, Nike and James have another hit on their hands. The LeBron 12 in its own right is an excellent shoe, both in looks and performance.

This one gets the job done in both areas and weaves in other major names to great effect. Whether meant for on-court purposes or not, collectors cannot go wrong.

Sneakerheads can get their hands on the Nike LeBron 12 "What the LeBron" Saturday.
