That pomp and circumstance we spoke on earlier? Nike just did that and then some with the new LeBron 12.
They didn’t just debut one colorway; they went ahead and showcased the first seven of these bad boys now. Anything cats thought they were buying between October 11th and December 20th might end up seeing a change of plans. The bad part? We already know these are just the first few iterations we’ll see.
Just go ahead and surrender that credit card over to Phil Knight’s crew.
