Nike Lebron 20

[Mica Withington]

UpdateThis review was written and recorded prior to the LeBron 12 getting an official release date (again). They will be available starting Oct. 30th for $200 at Finish Line. You can click HERE to head straight to their landing page.

I understand when a new shoe arrives, you want to change your rating of an older shoe because the new one might be better than the previous models but are both, for example, a 9 on the traction department because of how you viewed the older shoe before.

Would having a standard 10 and using it as a basis of your reviews be better? Like you said maybe (for traction) the XX8 will be your 10 and review shoes relative to it, some sort of comparison judgment.

It can work, but can be tricky on the material department because of all the different materials used on shoes now.

Or just read/watch the review and make your own judgment? People should learn to think for themselves and stop depending on others to think for them. Reviews already gives you all the information needed.

Nightwing, love what you do. Quick question: would going down .5 size on LeBron 12s allow for a tighter fit & maybe fixing the lacing problem and not having to lace them so darn tight to get that snug feel we all want?

I have to agree with you with regards to the foamposite wing digging and pinching the side of my foot. It happened to both sides when I first balled in them and i am truly hoping that they mold really fast to my foot coz the pain is kinda unbearable. But for the most part the cushioning is different and pretty awesome

hi i just bought this lebron XII instinc to strictly ballin.

my current rotation is my good ol trusty Lebron X elite ID.

i never really like how the XI plays.

so i skipped that and stocked on X Elites.

however now its time for a change so i bought the XII instinc.

one thing to note,

those of you who want to buy this for balling,

tightening up the laces is really pain in the ass!

my fingers ended up sores after trying to lace as tight as possible on this XII.

and somehow i really didnt managed to get it as tight as i want it to be.

I have 2 pairs of twelves. My left foot above pinky knuckle hurts so bad from where the laces hole is. I sent the sneaker back and got new 1s thinking it was a defect in that set but the new ones are killing me same place, only left side. Anyone else have this issue?

As a fellow wide-footer, I would not recommend these. The last is wide enough, as is the toe box, but the Foam portions are structured in a way that makes them feel a little narrow, as is the lacing system. I thought the XI was a much better shoe for a wide foot.
