Sneaker News recently confirmed the release date of the Nike LeBron X+ “USA Gold Medal” for September the 29th, but looks like there’s another LeBron X colorway in the mix – and it’s arriving as soon as this Saturday. The Fireberry/Metallic Gold colorway seen here was first previewed as a basic Red/White colorway, but this new detailed shot reveals some exciting details, like the Fireberry pink Swoosh outline and outsole and the grey/black speckled midsole. Nike Las Vegas has confirmed a release for this energetic LeBron X release for this Saturday, with their own Twitter RSVP being handled this Thursday, September 20th, but stick with Sneaker News and we’ll fill you in on other release locations as the week moves along.
Nike LeBron X+
Fireberry/Metallic Gold
09/22/12
$270
I'm guessing the heads in here line-up at the local house-o-hoops or shop at the mall cause the 270 ain't hurting me that bad bro. For average heat your gonna pay 200-300+ aftermarket. I've said before ill say it again the extra 100 ain't a big deal, I can make that back before breakfast. Cash is easy to re-up, but time you can never get back. Truth, I hope everyone thinks these cost to much and let em sit on shelves like the elitle 9's so I can cop easy. LOL.
I like the colors but I am not paying $270 for some Lebrons... I just can't do it. Some rare retro J's or foamposits maybe? U know these will be hyped just like everything else these days. My negativity will be easily overlooked by increased sales........preach!
This is avantgarde cw but im pretty sure its gonna be a classic. It walks the fine line between over the top and blech! & thats what i like about it. Dont know if ill cop though, ill just wait until release.
Not worth $270
Love the colorway but they're at least 100 bucks too expensive
THIS IS AN ODD CW BUT IT WORKS. OF COURSE I WOULD GET THE $200 VERSION
I don't even like Lebron , but these shits don't deserve $270 , hell they look $130 to me . oh I forgot this isn't 2004 .
price inflation but these will still sell out. smh
I still think the 180 standard edition of the new Lebron aren't going to have the 3D Nike swoosh! We all seen pics of the Gold Medal Lebron with a flat swoosh and no lion lace lock
Honestly, I cannot be mad at Nike for what they are doing...people are mad they are charging so much for a pair of shoes when 90% of the people who are complaining have paid that much to a reseller AT LEAST once. Not to mention the spur of the moment info regarding the release. Idk if this is Nike trying to kill the reselling by eliminating hype build-up and reseller price mark-ups, or if they're just in i for the $$$$$
my grandma thinks these are whack
Wow, what a brilliant cw. Love that burgundy metallic look offset with the cream and hints of pink. Ive hated the X up until now, still on the fence, so much going on with all those shapes and traingles. But real nice cw, got me interested. Pity its a + model, so expensive and its something im never gonna use or need. Regular version of this cw would have been copped i think.
Dope cw..first x I'm really feelin..hopefully they come out with this cw without the +..would def buy those, otherwise they can keep em at $270.
@Loveforshoes Nike confirmed earlier today on twitter that this color way will not release or be available in the non+ version...
In the same tweet Nike also confirmed that some color ways will only be released & only available in the Nike+ version... (You can bet money on at least 1 color way they're talking about)
These are definitely sick by all means but 270? You can keep em
'...you corner the market, then raise the price...simple economics' quote from tv show Breaking Bad but thats the situation. Im sorry folks, I for one will not be buying any of the these Lebron X+. But if it was my company I would be doing the same to you if I could get away with it. If we are smart, we will influence the price to drop. Cell phones cost just as much and they have zillions more capabilities so you cant justify a freaking sensor in a sole for this margin of price hike critics
@ABoog If you want a smart phone your gonna be paying more than 270$
What ppl do with Jordan's, they will do with lebrons, buy em, stash em, and wait 20-30 years to bring em, you might not think that's the case, hell I don't know myself, but I believe something similar will happen in the future to come. There will be a new generation that will be doing everything we are now, only this time ppl will have the consider OG
Your gonna pay $270 to Nike regular price or somewhere around that to a reseller if they came out at $180. Companies do it all the time. They find out people are selling their product 50%-100% higher than they are, and they raise their prices. People are selling certain colorways of Lebron 9's at 200% profit.
these are nike hypebeast test shoe. they gon put dat nike+ bs in all the exclusive colors so the hypebeasts buy em up. if ppl dont buy than price will cop down.
i see what nike's doing here lol. if they wanna save dope cw's for "plus" x's only these r the ones to boycott smh.
FOR 315$!!!!!????? hhhheeeeellllll nooooooo.....im coppin the d rose 3....they 110 and probly better quality......who the hell wants to cop a pair of sneaks that measure how high u jump for hundreds of dollars extra....when adidas mi coach gives u all that shit for 110....hey nike: smd....and ill charge u 315 for it....
@dangus mcgee not one thing you ssid is correct. Lebron price is $270 not $315. D Rose 3 are now $160 so even your beloved Adidss is charging $50 more for synthetic BS with no tech in em
@JR_LYON @dangus
Haha ik...i just wanted to see how many ppl would get mad....but seriously tho the prices....even the d rose now...its kind of pissing me off
@dangus mcgee im absolutely amazed that people still go off of hearsay, rumors , & reports. even when the information is literally right in front of you. i mean if you scroll up you can see that the damn price tag is set a $270....damn man.
@SE73N @dangus mcgee right mate, but the price is still ridiculous
@NickBartzis @dangus mcgee no arguments there my dude lol
sorry i cannot walk on 270usd.
...never wore these so i can t speak on the performance aspect.But,im just not impressed with the final design of the X.
smart, they trying to gauge how much they turned people off wit that original 315 price tag and will it effect overall sales by dropping a qs before the "initial" release. at least that how i see it.
Damn, I can't believe it, but these Xs are starting to grow on me.
Different in a good way, once you get over the initial shock.
Good old nike pullin a fastie!
they hot but not 270 hot
